We had a pleasant stay at Aristea’s. It was just off the main strip with all the eateries, shops, bars and other amenities and also near the beach (although it wasn’t a fab beach in our opinion).
It was great to see the little touches south as a couple of croissants, water and chocolate bars left for us too, but a couple of other little touches would have really improved our stay. These would have included providing salt and oil for people who want to cook. Good hobs and pans, as well as washing up liquid provided and also a kettle and toaster. The room itself was spacious and well furnished and our host made sure it was cleaned if we wanted it to be. Our towels were changed, as were our sheets, during our five-night stay.
We would have liked a curtain that we could have pulled across the front door as it was glass - frosted, but nonetheless glass! Even though people couldn’t see through it, we still felt it wasn’t as private as we would have liked.
Bathroom was great with toiletries (shampoo/shower gel in a small bottle) provided and nice towels. Ample toilet roll and the shower had plenty of warm water.
Perhaps the biggest downfall for us was the poor WiFi. There are three different networks but all three could be unusable at times and were almost always slow.
Whilst it definitely wasn’t a negative stay, several things have brought the ratings down for us. The host was lovely and we really enjoyed speaking to her. For most people it would probably be much better, but for us it was simply good enough. This is because we cooked in and wanted to do get some online work done (a struggle!) and therefore it wasn’t ideal.
