We arrived and were given ground floor apartment. We unpacked and then went to a supermarket to get a supplies for the 10 day stay. When we got back we saw Ants crawling over the kitchen surfaces and walls. I told reception and they sent a member of staff with an insecticide spray. He explained that he could not use it on the food prep areas. I told him that the Ants were on the food prep areas and asked what he would do. He said he would wipe with water and rag. He did this, but of course the Ants were back in minutes.
I persuaded the reception staff to come and see and she told us we could move another ground floor apartment that day, but it would likely have a similar problem. Alternatively we could move to an upper Apartment that would likely be better. We had to stay in the Ant infested apartment overnight and when we woke up there were Ants in our beds. We could not prepare dinner or breakfast in our apartment (the receptionist did give us a ticket to use the buffet for our evening meal, but the food there was pretty poor anyway).
The hotel puts up signs blaming the humidity and implying that any Ant problem is caused by guests not keeping all food in fridge or properly cleaning is not a solution. I have travelled to many places in the world with similar climates and not experienced this problem. in fact I have been in accommodation in Minorca and Majorca and not had this problem.
The next day we moved up to a second floor apartment, and the kitchen was better, although we found 1 or 2 ants. We kept the place scrupulously clean and wiped surfaces with vinegar after all food prep. Ants were evidence in the bathroom. and after about 5 days they found my daughters allergy medicine and hundreds appear and were crawling all over the sealed ziplock bag contains the medicine. I cleaned this up.
There were toenail clippings on the bedroom floor, but that seemed minor compared with the Ant infestation.
I feel I missed out on a full day of my holiday dealing with this problem and moving apartments. It was torture sleeping in a bed with Ants crawling over us. Trying to think of something positive to say ...... well each apartment comes with giant can of insecticide ! something negative ......you are going to need it !
