Enjoyed our holiday and will remember the view from the apartment forever. No shop, cashpoint, restaurant or any other facilities within walking distance of the apartment and given that we are all seniors it was necessary to take a 15 minute bus ride to Bugibba for these amenities. We did not find that there were “all kinds of shops, and entertainment (bars/restaurants, nightcubs, casino, watersports) 900m away from the apartment” as described in the property details but on a positive note, as the bus stop was directly outside the apartment, this didn’t present a problem or significantly detract from our holiday experience. The 21 euro weekly bus pass is excellent value and a ‘must have’ on arrival. The living area and the two bedrooms were clean, spacious and adequately met our requirements but the bathroom was far too small and poorly appointed and the water only trickled from the shower head. As the apartment supposedly slept seven persons it is difficult to envisage how they would have managed with such inadequate bathroom facilities. The lighting in the bathroom was poor making it difficult to shave and the dark brown towels weren’t nice and there were only sufficient of them for us to replace them once during our stay.

Many of your contributors on trip adviser comment on how helpful Neville, Ruth and their assistants were during their stay but within an hour of arriving at the apartment and deciding which tours to join we were very much left to our own devices and never heard from or had sight of Steph thereafter apart from a note she left the day after our arrival correcting the pick-up location of the night cruise we had booked. On reflection, we were a little disappointed that she only vaguely indicated the location of amenities and the pick-up point for the cruise as “across the street” when in fact it was a bus ride to the other side of St Paul’s Bay and that the pick-up was actually at the Porta-del-Sol hotel. Also, when we enquired about where to get a weekly pass for the Malta Bus we were advised to go to Valetta when in fact passes were available from local businesses. Again this wasn’t a major problem for us but it might not be so for all guests and although these points are only minor and may be seen as overly pedantic getting the little things right can make all the difference to a guest’s perception.

The pick –up and drop-off at the airport as arranged by Neville made our transfer easy and stress free and at 25 euro good value
