The Accommodation was conveniently located. The unit was clean and comfortable, had beautiful parkland and sea views. The only detraction was the tending unpleasant odours along the corridor between the appartment and the lifts. At times it was musty and stuffy and other times a bad food odour possibly due to poor air circulation along the corridoor. It was ok in the appartment .

While we loved the location, the amazing views, dining options etc, we did have issues with our fridge which was leaking water and our shower which had very low water pressure. We did report the fridge to the reception staff, however had no follow up. We ended up mopping up the leaking water ourselves and turning the fridge to it's highest setting. The shower looked lovely, but you could not get any water pressure from it. We ended up going to our neighbouring unit where a family member was staying for showers. The reception staff we spoke with (over Easter break) were disinterested. We asked for some advice about the shuttle bus to the airport and were met with no assistance. When asking how we could check out the next morning before opening hours, the girl just pointed to a box without explanation. This is a fabulous location and has a lot of potential, but does have some issues that might need looking at.

Option of breakfast would be nice. Overall enjoyed the stay. Did NOT enjoy the bad mannered Grumpy mangers attitude towards a foreign lady i was trying to help get into the hotel one evening and the box was locked were her key was held, it was clear as soon as he walked out he didn't want to be there snapped c at her what do want, told her she shoukd have booked directly not some third party etc t h en told her to do it right the next time fortunately she was communicating with me through a phone interpreter and probably didnt understand him anyway. If the hotel has issues with booking through ot h er sources then put a stop to it, absolute total ignorance
