  : The apartment was on the first floor, so it's quite easily accessible. For us IT IS a walking distance from the beach, unlike the indication of other visitors. It has small, but very cosy and pretty clean swimming pool within the building. The pool was sometimes crowdy but you can easily find time of the day when it's almost empty. Big supermarkets within 2 minutes walk. It has a closed parking (as most of the apartment buildings within Marina d'Or). Most of the facilities worked to acceptable level (airco, kitchen, tv, wi-fi). We had couple of facilities/furniture getting broken, but the host was very timely to respond on the request and was fixing everything within 2 - 3 hours of request. Also were kind to satisfy our other requests when we had such. Overall the place itself (Marina d'Or) is very lively and has a lot of restaurants and places for activities (the quality of them is left out from review). During our stay the sea was of very comfortable temperature (the kids loved to stay in the water for long periods).
  : Most other reviews describe the problems that we also faced. Facilities are minimal and mostly of low quality: * Super old airco with broken element that sets the direction of wind, which sometimes does not turn on (but to be honest it does it job at cooling) * Washing machine that starts to jump over tiled floor when it enters the centrifuge mode. * Oven without oven dish. * Sliding doors that break. * Power sockets that fall off. * A lot of rusty elements. * Fridge full of snow. * Toilet that stops flushing after couple of usages. * etc. VERY bad sound isolation. Neighbours above us (russian speaking people) have twice left the dog in an empty apartment when going out in the evening (till like midnight), which was barking every 5 seconds for 3 hours and it felt like it's in the next room with open doors. Our kids couldn't get to sleep those days till they came back. Every flush in the toilet above is like a hurricane coming through your room. Neighbours or passing by cars with super loud music. And I could go on. So don't expect it to be a quiet stay, as I think no one in the building respects any privacy or any house rules. For a semi large car like SUV the parking might be a bit nervous as passages between the floors are super narrow. Multiple times I had to ask for assistance from kids to not scratch my car against the turns (though you get used to it after couple of times).
