FANTASTIC APARTMENT B IN FRONT OF THE SEA & MARINA

Couldn’t fault it .

I was asked to pay a £300 deposit before being allowed access to the key. When I eventually got the code for the key safe it was incorrect and took several attempts and a phone call to the owner who had given me the incorrect code in the first instance. The pool area and sunbathing area was full of seagull excrement as were the sun loungers so we did not use these areas. During the evening up to 25 seagulls chose to bathe in the pool. The host refused to refund my deposit claiming I had lost the plastic fob to access the swimming pool which we did not use due to the reasons above. He also claimed we had taken two towels from the premises, claimed it had taken 7 hours to clean the 2 bedroom apartment and charged me accordingly and claimed that there was faeces and vomit on some of the towels. Each time I asked for the deposit he added more reasons why he would not refund me. There was also a duvet missing from one of the single beds when we arrived and we had to hunt for a duvet. We found a double one wrapped up in a plastic bag which we had to use. The balcony was disappointingly small with a hot air vent located on it which was uncomfortable. What was supposed to be a relaxing and a recovery holiday has ended up stressful as I know have a battle to get my full deposit back. My travel party consisted of a middle aged lady and 2 elderly ladies, hardly likely to pinch two towels, loose a plastic pass which was never seen or provided and use towels to vomit in and wipe our private parts!!!! I had a feeling form the start that I was going to be ripped off with my deposit and this is exactly what is happening. I am now having to end my holiday with a battle to get my money back. I was told prior to my holiday that I did not need to pay him a deposit but he insisted I pay it before releasing the code for me to access the property!!! Strangely when I looked at my booking on booking.com. it showed as the booking had been cancelled by the host????!!!!!!

The apartment wasn't as clean as I would have expected. There was dust and dark hair on the floors and sand and bird mess on the balcony. There were no patio chairs so we used the dining chairs. A blind for the patio doors would be a good idea as it got very hot in the mornings so we had to put the air conditioning on. A full length mirror would be nice.

The swimming pool area looked a little unloved and not somewhere we wanted to spend the day on a sunbed reading a book. A few plants etc would make it a lot more appealing. It looked clean though and other people were using it.

The noise from a nearby bar was loud on a Friday and Saturday night but apart from that everything was good.
