Guests that stayed at this property said
The apartment is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with many guests highlighting the cleanliness as a standout feature. Only one review mentioned finding some dirty glasses and cutlery, which slightly impacts the otherwise perfect perception of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its sea views and proximity to local attractions. Guests enjoy the wildlife and the convenience of being close to both the town and the beach. The scenic views, particularly of dolphins, are frequently mentioned as a highlight.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests mentioning comfy beds and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests suggested improvements regarding bed configurations and found the second bedroom's bed slightly claustrophobic.
Facilities are generally seen as excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern amenities. However, some guests experienced issues with door locks and suggested the addition of a dishwasher. The quick response to a bathroom tap issue shows good maintenance support.
The welcome basket is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this score reflects the positive mentions without setting an expectation of receiving such items.
