  : The location was quite good
  : It was impossible to communicate with the reception or staff due to lack of language knowledge. The reception was not responisive. while the whole resort was empty, another family was placed in the same house as us. They checked in after the quite hours, so it was impossible for us to sleep due to the noise. The property is listed as beachfront which is not true. The sea is not even visible from the window. Aditional price for parking is charged per day if you wish to park your car on premises.

  : A nice complex of apartments in three-storey houses. Our apartment was on the first floor of a house and had two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and a fully equipped kitchenette organized as a dressing cabinet on one of the living room walls, opposite to the balcony. There was a table and two chairs on the balcony. The windows were looking on both opposite sides of the building, but you could not see the sea from any of them. When we entered, everything looked clean and smelled good. The access to the house and to the apartment is with rubber waterproof bracelets every family member receives at the reception and you leave them in the room when checking out. The bathroom was in the middle of the apartment and had no windows and no ventilation, so basically we had to keep the door open and ventilate it through the windows of the rooms. There was no included breakfast.
  : When trying to use the kitchenette, we had some unpleasant surprise with the cleanliness of the dishes, they seemed to be rinsed instead of washed by the previous tourists (some traces of food was left on them), put back in their place, and not verified by the cleaning staff, so we just had to wash everything before using. The wifi had the awkward system of authentication through the browser after connecting to the open network, where it asks you for your name/e-mail and you have to do it again every time you come back from a walk, from the beach or whatever. There are some little/inoffensive lies in the description of the property that will mislead tourists into higher expectations. The facility appears to have a small pool with a couple of sunbeds at the end of the complex, but we did not know about it as we weren't informed, and I don't even know if there was water in the pool. The description says immediate access to the beach but no, the location is not near the beach, as one might construe from the description, but it does not take too long to get to the closest beach, only about 5-7 min, but you have to go down some long (and steep) stairs and then climb them back when you return, so if you have someone with reduced mobility, you should take them to the beach on a longer way or better using the car. The description reads free parking on site is subject to availability. but instead they will charge you 10 euros even if the parking is completely empty. The access to the parking inside the complex is through a barrier that you can open with your bracelet AFTER you check in, and there is nobody to attend the barrier outside the very short check-in hours. The description reads street parking but they do not have anything to do with the street parking, there are no parking places on the street in front of the complex, and they will not inform you about the local parking rules.

  : The apartment was comfortable and clean
  : The apartment was in a complex which we had not realised it would be. It was exceptionally difficult to find on the large and confusing "estate". The receptionist spoke very little English apart from asking for 60 euros for parking on site and off road parking was too far away to leave the car safely

  : Loved the location, easy walk down to the beach and restaurants. Great 2 bedroom apartment for families, plenty of room to spread out. Clean, safe, easy to find and good deal for the price.
  : The checkin was the only part of the stay that was challenging. The checkin process took about 30 minutes, there were a few people in line ahead of us and we needed to park outside of the gated parking area on the road until we could get in. There was a lot of paperwork and it was slow. To be fair, there was only one person and about 6 sets of families all waiting to checkin at once.

Disappointing
