Property was largely occupied by elderly people who lived there. Not that this was an issue, but it did come as a bit of a surprise. I would not class it as a resort. Our apartment was only serviced (towels changed, beds made) once in our 10 day stay and apartment was a bit out dated. On a positive note the apartment was in a quiet area and located right in front of the beach with great view from the balcony. Front reception staff were friendly and helpful.

It was across the road from the beach so that was good. It's an old building, rooms need some repairs. But it was cheaper than the rest so you get what you pay for i guess.

Apologies that you didnt enjoy your stay with us. If you had come to reception to advise of any problems you were having, we would of given you the wifi code. As this is not a serviced hotel, we dont service the unit or replenish the starter kit of toilet paper, dishwash liquid etc on a daily basis, only for stays longer than a week. The pool fencing was being replaced hence the pool and spa closure but this was reopened on the weekend (two days into your stay) for all to use.
