An apartment with a nice view of the beach, but seriously lacking in the bedroom department.
We visited the apartment in August 2022 with one couple, plus a mother and son and their grandmother. We booked an apartment with three bedrooms with air conditioning “less than 40 metres from the beach.”
Only the main living space and ONE of the three bedrooms had air conditioning.

The apartment is not 40 metres from the beach. At best it’s over 100 metres “as the crow flies” from the beach down a cliff face. To actually physically reach the beach it’s 750 metre walk to the edge of the beach down a steep road. Check out a map and inspect the terrain for yourself.
Review of the rooms:
The main room has a queen size bed, ensuite with toilet, sink, and shower. There are built-in wardrobes. There are light curtains that don’t block out the light.
The second room has a double bed, a rack for hanging clothes and light curtains that don’t block out the light. This room doesn’t have air conditioning nor a bedside light. (We took the light from the living room that wasn’t plugged in anyway).
The third room (which doesn’t appear on any pictures in the ad) is a small room, with no windows, no air conditioning, no decorations, and only a rack for hanging clothes, and two single beds pushed together.
There were no bedside tables and two globes, that you turn on with a cable, that sat on the ground.
There was approximately 30 cm on either side of the bed to climb out of the bed.
We were provided with a broken fan initially and then we found a working fan in the laundry room.
The beds were only made with pilled bad quality 100% polyester sheets, and nothing else was provided.
One pillow per person.
There were no blankets provided initially.
We contacted the owner on the second night and these were made available.
As two of the bedrooms have no air-conditioning (and it’s summer), for everyone to stay cool during the evening, all the bedroom doors need to be left open. There is no expectation for privacy.
The living room / dining room / kitchen has no CURTAINS thus we weren’t able to close the sun out. There is a three seater lounge with a chaise. There is a smart TV that needed to be moved around to face the lounge.
Other matters that were incorrect in the listing:
There is no "Outdoor Kitchen" nor a "Fire Pit" - there is only a charcoal BBQ without any charcoal nor barbeque utensils provided. We purchase our own set of tongs and prongs, as well as the charcoal. (we left them behind).
There are also no utensils provided to clean up the BBQ with.
There is WiFi, however the speed reached at best 8 Mbs and was usually around 1Mbs - 2Mbs, which meant streaming movies on the Smart TV wasn’t always successful.
Electricity in the apartment:
We were told to take care when turning the air conditioning on as having it run while turning on also the oven and dishwasher/washing machine would have risked tripping the circuit breaker. So we were super careful!
We only set the air conditioning at 22 degrees (which is not 'cold' by far) and then turned on the oven to prepare dinner.
Therefore, we only had the air conditioning and ONE other electric good running and, lo and behold, the circuit breaker TRIPPED. We were left in a total blackout at 9pm!
The host told us to go outside the building gate where the main circuit breakers for all the apartments are located, behind a locked door. The circuit breakers are hard to access as they are situated behind 3 metal panels. In the end we managed to find the correct one: it was #21.
The host explained to us that they only have a plan for 3000kw of electricity, so we are unable to run ANY air conditioning unit if we want to turn the oven or washing machine on.
The apartment is also located next to an outdoor entertainment venue. For two nights of our stay we were subjected to very loud music that concluded at approximately 1.00 am.
What worked -
The view is brilliant. The outdoor area was a wonderful area to spend time in - there is a lounge, a sun lounge, a table and chairs under shade, the BBQ and some wonderful decorations. A very pleasant area to be in.
There were sufficient pots and pans, and kitchen utensils to prepare meals.
The hosts responded quickly when there was an issues in the apartment.
What would improve this apartment:
Clear instructions in how to use the washing machine and dishwasher.
And providing all the promised essentials / amenities listed in the listing (there was no sugar, and we suspect other items were left by previous guests.)
