positive:
Unbelievably friendly owners.
It’s tempting to say that they make the holiday special. They are so obliging, friendly and adaptable and they will advise the best way to get to your destination and the best value local bars, restaurants and supermarkets. Brilliant!
positive:
Great location.
The beach is a couple of minutes walk away and all the resort facilities are walkable. Friendly Rooms is above the Ibrox Bar; a recipe for noise and sleepless nights, you might think. Strangely, this isn’t the case, although street facing rooms directly a
positive:
Wonderful value.
It’s all pretty basic, but it’s clean and includes everything you could reasonably need. Much cheaper than a hotel where even the best reception and management staff won’t match these super owners.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms not cleaned.
During your stay, they seem to take the term, ‘self’ catering quite literally and assume that you’ll clean up after yourself! Not entirely unreasonable, given the low cost of accommodation.
negative:
Air conditioning frustration.
You really need air con here, but it’s an extra cost! Pity they don’t just stick a few Euros on the bill and include it.
negative:
Very, very basic kitchen.
It’s small and consists solely of a microwave, toaster and water boiler, ie: not oven or hotplates. Very limiting as to what you can prepare here.
