Nice complex, brand new and tastefully decorated (and very clean). Directly across the road from a shopping centre with plenty of food options. Near the beach and close to the freeway. Parking included. Communication with property and management problematic - messages not responded to. When we checked in there was only one key available - we were told they’d get the other set back from housekeeping the next morning. We asked the next morning and were told it hadn’t been returned but they’d contact the housekeeper and call us back (there was never any call back). A further check around 3 hours later gave the same answer - housekeeping hasn’t returned it. I went back down a third time and we were then told there wasn’t another key we could have - it was with the owner. Having only one key for the lift access/apartment was problematic and meant we were unable to go out separately and both have access - how they thought this was acceptable is beyond me. Only one very slow lift per apartment block - bit of a design fault.

Nära till stranden
Vi kom dit första helgen de hade öppet så det var lite kaos här och där, men det är ju förståligt. Trevlig personalö och minst sagt fräscha rum då vi var första gästerna ;) Närheten till stranden (5 minuters promenad) och renheten i lägenheten tar vi med oss som positiva minnen.

App.2305 A hat AUSSICHT NUR AUF BETONWÄNDE. Kein Himmel. Ein Kerker mit Lichtschacht. Das Echo vom Pool hallt zwischen den Betonwänden SEHR LAUT. Vis a Vis sind Geräteräume mit grellem Scheinwerferlicht. Dieses grelle Licht ging die ganze Nacht an und aus. Daher mussten wir die kleinen Schiessschartenartigen Fenster vom Schlafzimmer mit der Rollo auch noch schließen. INTERNET HAT SO GUT WIE NIE FUNKTIONIERT. KEINE FLIEGENGITTER ! KEIN SAFE ! Wir ware über Silvester eine ganze Woche in dieser Gruft und konnten nicht wechseln weil rundum alles ausgebucht war. Expedia hat Bilder mit Balkon und Aussicht (egal wohin!!!) bei diesem Appartment abgebildet. Die Rezeption hat gesagt es gibt auch solche aber für uns ist keines frei. Eine absolute Frechheit. Es gibt nur einen Aufzug und daher lange Wartezeiten. Parkplätze für ein neues Gebäude viel zu klein. Wir haben € 238,-- pro Nacht bezahlt und werden rechtliche Schritte einleiten sobald wir wieder zuhause sind. Das einzige Positive an dieser Unterkunft ist, dass alles noch ganz neu und sauber ist. Und die Dusche MIT HANDBRAUSE IST GUT. Gehen sie dort NICHT HIN, WENN SIE NICHT GARANTIERT EIN APPARTMENT MIT AUSBLICK INS FREIE BEKOMMEN !
