Pros:
- We arrived on a holiday, everything was closed in town, luckily in our room a couple of bers, sodas, water, muffin, candy, and coffee were awaiting us.
Cons:
I wouldn't have written anything negative about our accommodation unless our stuff kept in the common room hadn't been stolen.
This fact ruined our two weeks' holiday.
Accessing our accommodation was rather cumbersome because we had to use a smart key that is accessible via the Net. Well, but there is virtually no signal in the neighbourhood. My son opened the door for us from Budapest, with code required to get in from there. We could open the door only at 15:00, but the personnel was busily cleaning then so we could get into our room at 15:30 only.
The bathroom was really mouldy, but very much so, it was so hazy there that not even the fan that was run all day could help it.
In the bed there was only a small cushion for both of us. It was hard to do any reading, true luminous intensity was so weak that a torch had to be used, if we wanted to find something.
We could rarely use the common washing machine because some were washing bed linen in that, so it was always busy.
If we finally could use it for a change, the machine was so filthy that we could hardly get rid of the fluffs at home.
The described dish washer was not to be found.
Since all time we were the only ones using the common dining area and the fridge, we calmly kept all our foods and cheeses and olives, etc. we bought as presents there.
Last night we came home to find that someone had emptied the common fridge, taken away everything. Even the knife, napkins, baking paper, freezing bag, bread that were kept on the shelf had all been taken away.
Several special pieces of Portugese cheese, special olives straight from the market were stored on the shelf. And foodstuffs we set aside for our last dinner and haversack rations.
Since we had to set out to the airport at 3 a.m., not only could not we prepare sandwiches, but had to go to a restaurant for dinner.
Our damage can hardly be expressed in money terms (but approximately EUR100), it all hurt us emotinally rather, it ruined our whole holiday in Portugal.
To the bargain, believing that we would take home foodstuffs as presents, we purchased extra kilos with our air tickets, as well.
We readily informed the support about this incident, but we got the answer that our co-dwellers must have robbed us.
I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but it is highly unlikely that our co-dwellers have emptied the fridge after themselves and have put my special knife that was kept on the shelf amidst the others. Where I eventually found it.
