well-equipped studiosea viewclean hotelinsufficient sunbedschild-friendly poolgenerator noise
i found a well-equipped studio apartment and appreciated the sea view. the hotel maintained cleanliness, which i value. the bar and restaurant provided nice options.
i noticed the main pool lacked sufficient sunbeds or shaded areas, we loved the pool. but the second pool wasn't very child-friendly. our apartment was close to a generator, it woke me up all night with noise.

Just okay, I guess.

thin wallsuncomfortable sofa
The apartment walls seemed thin. I heard EVERYTHING. I was constantly aware of neighbors. The noise at ODD hours really disrupted my sleep. the sofa bed in the living area was VERY uncomfortable. The springs poked through, so it was a challenge to get any rest at all.

mixed feelings about my stay

terrible viewearly check-out
The room i got faced another building directly, there was no sunlight at all. it seemed like being in a basement and i was really frustrated. check-out was also early, at 10 am, though check-in was quite late. this meant i paid a lot for just a few hours. It was the most expensive hotel stay during my entire holiday.

There were no English TV channels apart from news channels, though the description says it has a DVD player, but there wasn't one available, and you have to request it.
