Salute to the Sea

De ligging van het appartement

Het beloofde zwembad was buiten gebruik

La amplitud del apartamento todas sus habitaciones y su terraza.

Que hasta el 15 de junio, no abre la piscina.

The apartment was large and airy. It had everything that we needed. It was close to the beach and close to town and nice views. The owners/agency were quick and easy to communicate with and very helpful, especially for our last day when we made enquiries to stay on later as our flight was later. Key collection was easy. We would stay again (when the pool was open)

The only downside (and it was outwith the owners control) was that thr pool was closed as it only opened seasonally. I didn't realize that when I booked. I didnt read the ad fully, so that was my mistake. But it was so close to the beach it wasnt an issue. It was just a preference to use the pool and not get sandy.

The bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water. Apartment was old but comfortable furnishings. Wifi was good

Smell on arrival. Pointed out to owner/agent...no comment. As the week progressed, we narrowed it down to the bathroom. The owner/agent requested that we message him when in the taxi, on the way to the apartment, which we did. He rudely told my husband he hadn't messaged as requested, which he had, but Owner/agent hadn't checked his messages. Not a good start There was one drinking mug in property only, stained and dirty. (There were cups, the one we checked was dirty, didn't check the rest) We pointed the dirty mug out to owner/agent, no comment. He took a photo. We also pointed out that most of the plates were chipped along the edges. Health hazzard. No comment. We shopped for our own mugs and didn't use any of the kitchen facilities other than the fridge (the door was on the wrong way around) and the kettle. THERE WAS NO SMOKE ALARM IN THE PROPERTY OR AS FAR AS WE COULD SEE, IN THE BUILDING AS A WHOLE. This was not a relaxing holiday due to the constant traffic noise all times of day and night and at 5am approx 6 hopper bins situated in the road opposite get emptied and on a Wednesday morning the glass bottle hopper was also emptied. We should have been able to have the windows open at night in October, but that was impossible due to road noise. We had to have air con on instead, which is also noisy. Didn't use the balcony much, again due to the traffic, cars, buses, lorries and coaches, particularly loud motorbikes, they all are forced to use this road. The apartment was advertised with a pool, which we paid for, then it was advised as closed from 1st October. On reading previous reviews, the pool was bearly open at all. We had 1 bath towel and one hand towel each for the week. TV was hit and miss. This is the worst apartment we have stayed in as far as relaxing is concerned, so unless you are used to living on a very busy road...book elsewhere.
