“It's ok!!”

When considering booking these apartments through teletext holidays I went online to try and suss them out before committing to anything. I could find only one or two reviews which said it was basic but clean, and I would have to agree. My Mum (62) and I (30) went for a weeks chill out holiday in March. All we were after was a clean apartment complex with views of the harbour/beach and not too far up the hill. The apartments were situated above La Taberna restaurante (which is lovely by the way, definitely go!!) and although there was an office, there was no-one there to greet us so I had to use my mobile and ring a number on the window then hang about waiting on a guy from a sister hotel at at the other side of town to make his way over in a taxi to sort us out with a room. When he eventually arrived 30 mins later, he spent another 15 minutes looking for a key to our room. He couldn't find the key he was looking for so gave us a different room, the only key he could find. The apartment we got was on the ground floor, and although it was situated on a hill we weren't able to get the sea views that we were after, instead we got rooftops of the buildings across the road. The apartment itself was very cean and spacious and the beds were the comfiest I've ever had on holiday. The maid came in every other day but only changed our towels once. The pool area was clean and tidy but the pool always had lots of flys etc in it which was a bit off putting. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while, but when it got so hot I had to just deal with it and jump in for a dip! It seemed to us that some of the apartments were owned privately and those guests that were there filling up the other rooms were mostly Dutch or German, I think we were the only British there. Although most rooms were taken, we basically had the whole pool area to ourselves which was nice for privacy, although I like to people watch so would have prefered a pool bar and music for a bit of entertainment. The Apartments are situated half way up the hill, so, midway between the seafront at the bottom, and the Europa Centre at the top. The steps to go up and down are located down towards the Harbour area and going down was fine but going up was another matter!! All in all, a fine apartment, nothing fancy, just basic. I think next time I'd spend an extra £100 and get the views I wanted and a better location.
