Stayed here twice, once when we booked flights and accomodation separately and the second time was allocated on arrival, who new? Our room overlooked the back of a Chinese Restaurant, we could see straight into the kitchen. It was also located near the laundry and an area where all broken sun loungers and broken furniture from the complex were stored!... More

Just returned from our 5th (or maybe 6th) trip and after reading some of the reviews, thought has this place really declined so much? We need not have worried, it was fine. OK, maybe the decor was a little dated, but the apartments are clean & comfortable and very good value, after all you do not pay 5star prices. Cleaners... More

The stench of nicotine as we opened the door of apt no 5 was over powering. That coupled with the smell from the open sewer pipes directly outside our bathroom was sickening. As if that wasn't bad enough the place was filthy with broken, shabby furniture and doors that didn't close properly.I can't believe that any company has the gall... More
