Daniela, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the toilet made a very loud sound off and on over the night. Other than that 10/10 great staff, close to the beach and dining. Short Blot rides to Old Town I would stay here again and definitely recommend

10/10 Exceptional

This is a wonderful property. The staff was friendly. It one wants to be near the action, then this isn't the place. This place is for a wonderful chill vacation. However, there are BOLT rides that can cheaply take one to the hot spots.
debbie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is great. Walking distance to couple beaches. One of the beaches has a nice beach restaurant where you can choose your fresh fish and they will grill it for you. Albufera is less then 10 min away by taxi. We liked it because the location is very quiet. It felt that we are by our selfs there. The only thing that I didn’t like is that the bed had this cover over the mattress and under the sheet the protection that you would use for a baby cribs. Like some plastic that sounds like when you move and makes extra warm at night. That should go!
Artis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Metal shutters were difficult
Derek, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The area was lovely and it was close to a nice beach. The villa was spacious. The private pool was a bonus but we had to let management/maintenance know that the pool ladder was broken upon our arrival, so hopefully they will address that before the next visitors stay in the unit.
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lot of space and nice, big terace on the second floor, the assembling of the kitchen interior could be improved.
Sebastian, 7-night trip

Broken AC in upstairs bedroom.
The beds are a little, and the AC in one of the bedrooms upstairs is broken.
