Met by Christina at the agreed time. She was welcoming and very friendly.
I am 5ft 10 and my head accidentally collided off the top of the door lintel.
Christina gave me an excellent, unhurried walk round the massive apartment.
The place is enormous and well looked after.
The various relaxing seating areas inside have charm and a lovely family authentic warm feel.
The kitchen, although relatively basic, has everything you will need.
The numerous terraces, outside areas, were unbelievable. They were just so many of them to choose from - no exaggeration!
The bedroom, Room 6 Terrace Room, on first viewing was clean and once again there was all the amenities you would expect.
The en-suite was very compact but ample for one person
This place lets itself down in a number of small issues needing addressed.
I found it hard that the owners feel it to be acceptable to charge guests to stay when several health and safety issues urgently need addressed!
There is a very strange arrangement in the bedroom, where the actual main bedroom door from inside the apartment has no lock on the outside, a door handle that does not operate efficiently, on both sides of the door, and your main entrance in and out is via a door and shutter door, onto a veranda! This door does have a lock.
However you need to lock the other door from the inside!
Why the door handle and lock can’t be repaired is bewildering to be honest.
The main light fixing from the ceiling is slightly detached and has bare wires showing.
The main window in the bedroom is glass slats - unfortunately two were broken and had numerous pieces of duck tape holding the window slats in place. There is also a huge plastic air vent which hangs out the open window!
This is totally unacceptable!
I also had a very unfortunate accident when I pulled my phone plug out the main socket and the whole socket totally came away from the wall. The main socket appeared to be stuck on the wall by plaster and not securely in place by screws and raw plugs.
I am at a loss for words because if the various relatively small issues could be sorted this would be an absolute fantastic find in the centre of Palma!
Was the price of £61.78 per night value for money…… With a cleaning fee and a service fee added on …..No because of all the things mentioned above!
I am disappointed that owners feel they can serve up this level of hospitality when it falls short.
Would the owners be happy staying at a similar venue in the UK? I don’t think so.
Would I stay again….. absolutely if all the handles, locks and wall sockets were securely fixed.
Come on owners get these important issues sorted as you would expect were you to be staying for a few nights!
