Had the worst experience as holidays can go.State of property was poor with damp and mould.Guests in flat below smoking weed and when I approached the staff they said they will pass it to management on Monday which would have ruined the rest of weekend.I left a negative low scoring review and the host is accusing for only doing so as revenge. Then they proceeded to bribe me with money to remove my review. At first I said yes but then my morals said this ain't right. How many other people have they bribed?Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

Good location to beach and some very good restaurants,not far from shops. The apartment was spotlessly clean and we were greeted with gusto. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and a welcome pack waiting. Storage space for bedrooms is very good with plenty of draws .Decor of high spec.Good area for sightseeing with not too far to go.
