We stayed here for 2 nights as a family. There was great communication before, during & after our stay. The complementary breakfast each morning was a great feature, as was having a washing machine & dryer in the apartment. Our showerhead needed fixing & it was sorted promptly which was great. We all slept comfortably & were warm. The apartment itself could do with a deep clean & the pool was a little worn, but overall we had a great stay & it suited our needs.
