Vista Mediterraneo

Everything was fine.

Could t get the tv to work, and a few issues accessing property but nothing major. Bedroom quite noisy as face onto road which was more noisy than expecting.

Nothing really

- there were frequent power outages due to current protection. The owner promised to fix the problem - the drainage of water from the air conditioning sometimes did not work well in one of the rooms The owner promised to fix the problem.The main drainage of water from the air conditioning is to a bucket on the balcony, which is not convenient. - the door to one bathroom is hard to open

As mentioned first in a review in March and again in June (but after we had already arrived) - the pool is not filled and is currently under (loud) construction. While this is not the fault of the owner, it is disappointing that there was no advanced notice as this is clearly a long standing issue. If I had been aware, I would have packed items like beach towels / beach blankets to be able to take advantage of the nearby beach - and been less disappointed upon arrival. Overall, the apartment is a little tired - like the guests before us, we could not use Netflix or any other streaming services and the live TV app available froze and broke. Thankfully, the owner responded quickly and did send someone out the next day to fix the issue. Check-in was not as described on Booking.com - there was nobody there to greet us and I had to call to receive the code for the lockbox with the key. While overall our stay was fine, it did not live up to the expectations outline by the photos, description and fine print and communication (no pool, check-in procedure) felt lacking.

1. The swimming pool was closed when we were there (early June). That was THE disappointment for us as 50% of our decision to choose this place was based on the pool. It looked as if it had been closed for a year or two. The official reason was the drought, but pools at other hotels in the area were open so we suspect another reason here. And while this was not the owner’s fault, the closed pool should be mentioned in the rental offer on Booking.com. 2. There were noisy repair works going on the pool during the whole week we were there – jackhammers, drills and angle-grinders for many hours a day. Again - not the owner’s fault. Our bad luck. 3. Cleanliness and maintenance are major issues in the apartment: - missing towel railings in the bathrooms - paint peeling off in the bathtub/shower - balcony door not sliding properly (you need to work out where to grab it to make it slide) - sun-umbrella missing from the balcony (I found it on the ground behind a wall on the terrace, broken, I fixed it with a hair-pin – a make-shift solution but it worked) - sun-umbrella on the roof-top terrace broken, we managed to open it, but it needs to be fixed properly (the cloth hanging from the pergola – as seen in the official photos – is not there at all, so the pictures are misleading again) - the table and chairs on the terrace looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned for months - bird poo on the walls on the balcony and the terrace (there are plenty of pigeons in the area so poo can happen, but that should be cleaned before new guests move in, it looks really bad/disgusting) - the TV is Android-TV, and it’s a joke – we couldn’t get it to work properly on any day of our stay, it would take ages to fire up, and then it would freeze on a channel as the transfer of internet data was too slow for the stream to work (another thing is that the TV seems to have only German channels) - the grill on the terrace is a sad memory of a grill – it’s dirty and completely rusted, holes in...
