Arcadia with sea views

The property that we rented was advertised as having a pool. When we arrived the pool was closed for repairs and had been for some time. Host claims this was clearly stated on the advertisement, it was not. I would not have booked it. Even when we were staying there, the host claimed it was stated on the advertisement, it was not. I have the screenshots, there is no mention of the pool being closed for repair. I cannot emphasis enough how much we wanted a pool. This ruined our plans for the week and we spent a fortune having to go out every day. I wanted a relaxing holiday by a pool, I did not get this. In addition, even though we were quiet and well behaved guests, the neighbours hated the fact we were there, very passive aggressive towards us, leaving 2 x a4 pages of threats to denounce us because we happened to park in the wrong space, a space which was used by no one the entire time we were there. We felt very intimidated by them, especially the one woman 2 doors down, who was aggressive towards is on numerous occasions for no reason. I have kept the pages of written threats for evidence. While the apartment was beautiful, the sofa looked filthy and a major problem with ants in the kitchen, so we spent half the week spraying down and keeping the kitchen immaculate. Not really the relaxing holiday we were after. I wouldn't stay here again due to the owners lies regarding the pool..

Didn't like the fact that there was no access to the pool. We were not told that the pool would not be in use when we paid. It states there are pool facilities and was told how to keep the pool clean with our welcome message on booking.com. We would not have stayed here if we had been told in advance, very disappointed. Owners only put up on booking.com website the day after I asked about the code for the pool that it was closed for the month of June. Before this date, we were not notified of this. Instructions on how to get in and out of the accommodation and keys were not very clear and at times the owner was argumentative, which made it very stressful. For our 10 day stay we were only given one set of towels for the whole time we were there.

Nothing

The slope isn’t suitable very steep and the access to apartment is steep with the steps No hand rail Not very safe especially if it’s raining

It is not really a criticism, but more a maybe helpful comment for others. The entrance to the complex is rather steep and the parking lot is the first one which means that (depending on the type of car and abilities of the driver) it can be a little challenging to park if the lot next to it is occupied. A compact SUV is preferable to a Seat Leon Sportstourer that we had as rental car, and I can imagine that for even longer cars it can really become challenging. ( I was definitely happy that the car had automatic transmission.) Of course, parking spaces in Spain are often rather narrow. While the appartment was really very well equipped , I would have liked to have some towel holders or hooks in the bath rooms. While one sleeping room had curtains that transmit only very few light, this is not the case in the other room, so the kids complained that it became to bright in the morning.
