Nadine was extremely kind, welcoming, and thoughtful :) we stayed in the Loft (the upstairs apartment). We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, laundry, and suggestions for beaches and restaurants!! We had complications with a canceled flight and then a delayed flight and had to stay a couple days longer and Nadine was very helpful and accommodating to us for extending our stay last minute. Parking was easy. The people are very nice and the apartment and backyard are pretty but there are a lot of trade offs when staying here.
FYI: There really is nothing to do in Ses Salines beyond living so you’ll need to leave town to do anything or find good food. Beach is only accessible by car. We didn’t care for the food or coffee in town and found the best nearby food in Santanyí and some spots in Campos as well. We would not recommend staying here without a car or if you prefer to leave every day and eat out frequently.
All the coffee in town is just from nespresso pods so if you’re a coffee drinker, you’re better off financially by grabbing some at the Eroski market down the road (lots of options) and using the in-apartment nespresso machine.
Couple of other things to note: if you are at all sensitive to heat or bug bites than this is not the spot for you. It was difficult getting the Loft to cool down without air conditioning in the late June heat. We understand that it’s Spain and Spain is hot but this got a bit out of hand. There are plenty of fans to move air around but because of the size of the back door (nearly an entire wall sized), it’s nearly impossible to get a breeze running through the apartment at night without going as far as keeping the wall sized door open. There is a small window to get a cross breeze going but it’s minimal and inconsequential. Both my partner and I left with at least 8 itchy bug bites (mosquitos? likely. Some of them got me while doing laundry outside as well). This obviously came partially at the cost of needing to keep all windows and doors opened as much as possible to avoid overheating.
Last thing to note is that you can’t drink the tap water (we didn’t know this ahead of time and we drink a ton of water) and need to keep up with stocked bottled water in order to stay cool and hydrated. Again, this did not pair well with the heat in the apartment and was overall an unfortunate complication that we were not prepared for.
