I’ve just had a lovely relaxing holiday in Mike’s apartment. 7 of us stayed here; me, my husband, our sons (13 and 10), our friends and their son (13).
The transfer was only half an hour from the airport in a private taxi.
When we arrived at the apartment we didn’t have the best start; there was no electricity, including no air conditioning. We didn’t arrive until 10pm so it was pitch black inside so we were using our phone torches to find our way around. Mike was in touch with us, giving us suggestions to try on the fuse box. Nothing worked. He was very apologetic and assured us he would get it sorted the following day. You don’t realise how difficult it is to live without electricity until times like this! Our phone batteries were all running out which we were relying on for contacting Mike and for a source of light.
The electricity was fixed the following day, however, we were told not to use the air conditioning as this is what caused the electricity fault. Again, Mike was very apologetic and offered to take us out for a meal as a gesture of good will. He did try his best to sort the problems and was very friendly, but air conditioning is one facility that I ensure is in a property when I book a holiday and not to have it was very uncomfortable - none of us slept for 3 days and to top it off some of us had been attacked my mosquitos so we were hot and itchy. The air con was fixed on our 4th day but we could only have it on in the bedrooms in case it tripped the electricity out again. But it was a relief just to have a cool area to escape to and to get some sleep.
The apartment itself was lovely, very spacious and well equipped. The balcony was beautiful with some comfortable rattan furniture and the view is out of this world!
It was also lovely to have our very own sun beds and parasol so you could wonder down at your own leisure without finding towels reserving them all.
Miguel also let us borrow some fishing rods which kept the kids entertained, there are loads of little fish and they love bread, although they were experts at eating it and avoiding the hook!
Miguel also let us have a late check out on the day of our departure which we appreciated.
All in all we’ve had a lovely holiday, thank you Miguel!
