Cozy and private.

The property is clean, quiet, and removes from the overly crowded touristy areas without being far from convenient transit options. I booked partially to make use of the small pool, but as it is not yet summer, the pool was empty. Overall, a very worthwhile stay.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The spacious, clean room came with a balcony offering an amazing sea view. It was also fully equipped with kitchen appliances, and both the bedroom and living room had air conditioning. The small pool was a nice bonus. One minor suggestion: guests are responsible for waste disposal before leaving, which I wish had been included in the fee. Overall, a great experience!

This hotel/apartment was lovely! I really loved it. It's very spacious with a gorgeous veiw of the sea and mountains. The balcony was lovely. I highly recommend this room! The staff and cleaning staff were lovely too. The only small thing is there was a tapping noise near the bedroom coming from the pipe/AC unit on wall. It didn't bother me until the last night and stopped me from sleeping tbh. Luckily I had a sofa bed to move to but just wanted to feedback :)

Bel Endroit mais!!

Arrivée à 15h comme annoncé sur la réservation. La personne a l’Acceuil ne trouvant pas ma réservation a mis en doute celle ci. Alors que j’avais réservé le matin même. Ne me croyait pas mais après avoir fait des recherche à quand même trouvé celle ci mais pas très aimable. Après l’atmosphère s’est détendu jusqu’à ce que je demande s’il y avait un parking. L’hôte m’a dit de me débrouiller à chercher dans la ville. Impossible de se garer et quand je trouve une place cela me coûte 10€ jusqu’à 22h et attention il faut se lever à 6h pour remettre des l’argent faute de quoi PV. Attention pour descendre à la plage Ok par de petites marches mais quand il faut remonter les 150 marches cela prend 10 bonne minutes et une bonne suée

Très décevant.

Les chambres ne rendent pas vraiment compte de la réalité sur place. Rez de chaussée qui donne sur la piscine, le nez sur les autres personnes. Il n’y a pas de réception. Ils n’avaient pas notre réservation à l’arrivée, ont voulu me refaire payer. Bref très déçue de l’endroit.

Beautiful view, Clean and comfortable Villa.

We stayed here with our 2.5y old girl and had an amazing time. I emailed beforehand to arrange for airport pickup. When we arrived the driver was waiting and gave us fantastic tips for our trip. Arriving at the villa someone was waiting to show us to our room which was clean with the most beautiful view over lapad beach. A bed has been set up for our girl and there is air-con which is a must during the summer season. Walking to the beach is 5-10 depending how fast you walk. Walking up all the steps is difficult no matter who you are during the heat but the price you pay for a beautiful view from the location. The swimming pool at the villa was just perfect for us and most fun for our little one. The best place to cool off after returning from exploring in the heat. If we go to this location again I would definitely stay here again. I saw the negative reviews beforehand but can now say we cannot say anything bad and had a great time, Thank you!

Trevliga dagar i Lapad.

Fantastiskt att öppna upp balkongdörren och mötas av havsutsikt. Bra balkong att sitta och både äta och slappa på. Bra dubbelsäng och bäddsoffa att sova i. Hyfsat bra utrustat i köket. Från strandpromenaden och upp till lägenheten är det ca 200 trappsteg närmaste vägen. En liten lagom stor bassäng att ta ett dopp i efter en dag på stranden, ingen pool vi skulle ligga vid hela dagen.

Clean apartment. Rude owners.

Spent 5 nights in apartment . Clean with all necessary amenities. Owner became unpleasant when we requested a fold up Bed for 12 year old daughter as sofa bed not comfortable for two. He also tried to charge tourist tax for 9 year old child. Children under 12 are exempt according to the law. Small pool available but too much chlorine used which burned everyone's skin. Overall , I would not recommend this apartment due to rude and hostile manner of the owners when simple requests were made.

Loved the room, but wish the pool had been open!

We arrived at the end of September and were really looking forward to a day relaxing by (and in!) the pool. Had booked this property specifically for that reason, so it was disappointing to arrive and see that the pool had already been emptied for the season. The lady who checked us in said that it was too cold for pool (it was 25-28 degrees while we were there and full sunshine). We understood that a lot of things start to close for the season in mid October, so I don't see why they would not just keep the pool open until then. Every guest we spoke to was disappointed as well and thought it was plenty hot (especially after walking up the stairs) for a dip in the pool. DO use the Kompas hotel just down the road's lift to get down to the beach area. Their food is also good and reasonably priced - view from that lobby are fantastic. We did love the hotel, everything was very clean and in good working order, would have been 5 stars if the pool had been open as advertised.
