Great location and a decent pub/restaurant attached to the apartments, that has entertainment most weeknights - though, strangely, not at weekends while I was there. Scot, George, who seemed to do everything from reception duties to impromptu comedy in the bar was a charm, and the ladies that worked there were all pleasant, cheery and helpful. That's all the positives done. Another staff member, Manuel, who worked the bar/restaurant, seemed to treat every request as a chore, and would greet a food order usually with a grunt at best. The accomodation. Oh dear. We chose this because of the decent number of 4 or 5 reviews given, and, I don't really understand people giving these scores for this place. We spoke to several different guests while we were there, and all confirmed what we thought too. I know reviews are subjective, but a lot of them of these apartment are perplexing to us. Our apartment was the most basic I have ever stayed in. The facilities given are the bare minimum. Cheapest furniture available, all the soft furnishings smelled and were stained. Maintenance is almost non-existant. Towels and sheets all had a yellow tinge, with every towel being all frayed or had holes. Our shower head had the worst water pressure ever, took forever to heat up, and came out as a dribble. The main door to the apartment needed re-hung, as it dragged along the floor and was difficult to open, the safe was unuseable ... the list goes on. We didn't use the pool, but were told by other guests that it was quite dirty. Repeated mentions on other reviews about the noise from the nearby club were well founded too, and a quite audible boom, boom, boom from late evening until around 4am WILL disturb your sleep, in block A at least, even if you wear earplugs. In all, no, wouldn't recommend the apartments to anyone, but, if you know what you're getting and would still go, then, best of luck to you.
