A very reasonably priced apartment in an excellent location; on a quiet street – with plenty of on-street parking if like us you’ve hired a car – just a couple of minutes’ walk from the beach. For groceries there is a small Spar (Las Camelias) seven minutes walk away, and a larger one in the Yumbo Centre about ten minutes away. The apartment is family owned, and often it will be one of two brothers you’ll meet on reception. Both are very friendly, helpful and welcoming, and speak excellent English, and we ended up having some long conversations. They are decent, honest family people, not in the business to make as much money as they can from tourists, but to create a warm welcome and great stay for their guests. Others have commented on the cleanliness of the property, and the cleaners do work very hard – and with a smile on their face too; the apartment was spotless. And very spacious as well. Top tip: being small the reception is not staffed all hours, so if you’re going to be arriving late in the evening as we were, let them know ahead of time. In our case this allowed the man who was working that day to go home, have dinner with his family and then return later ready for our arrival. If reception is closed when you arrive, just call the number on the door, it was diverting to his mobile. When it’s dark the actual entrance is a little hard to find as it’s a small footpath and there is only a small unlit sign next to it, but it is right off the side of the street; the property itself is easier to spot, as it has a large illuminated sign on the side of the building. Before you book do be aware that the rooms do NOT have air conditioning; the property targets the cooler parts of the year. Amenities in the room are as described in other reviews. As some others have commented, the beds are a little on the harder side. The apartments are very short on electrical sockets, and if you do as we did and push the two single beds together, that’s the one socket in the room that you could have plugged a phone charger into now lost. The microwave which is on a shelf above the worktop in the small kitchen area has to be lifted off the shelf to be able to plug it in, unless you want it half hanging off the shelf for the cord to reach. The reason for the small number of sockets is the age of the property – it doesn’t look it, all all! – ask the owners to show you a photo in reception taken when it was first built; it was just about the only building in the area. One of the brothers told us they are planning to add some electrical provision in the apartments with USB charging points, that would be great. The only improvement we’d have liked to see is that nearly all of the sun loungers around the pool are the cheaper lay-flat-only design, they don’t have tilting, adjustable backs. OK if you want to lie and sunbathe, but not to sit up and read. When we asked about this we were told there were adjustable ones around the property, and a couple w
