Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Great layover stay
Huge room with great views of the airport and the sea. The pool is great however does lack a bit of seating/pool loungers (there is a 4 or 5 seats max). But its greay seeing the planes land from the edge of the pool. Staff really friendly - they do charge you a refunable deposit when you check in - just something to he aware of.

Beautiful property, very well presented.
Fantastic location for the airport. We booked this as we had an early morning flight the following morning and only stayed for one night, but could easily have spent longer here. The apartment was well appointed, and beautiful, with very comfortable beds. The pool area was lovely too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend as a good option for families and very reasonably priced.

The breakfast was probably the worst thing I have ever been served. We didn’t order it again. The hotel is very simple, nothing luxurious but okay for the price. It had Netflix and a kitchen/ sofa which was nice.

It's close to the airport and internet was fast. Breakfast was also not bad. However do not expect 5-star-level cleanness. Also, they forgot to clean our room even though we requested it in advance.
