On arrival we were met by a very friendly receptionist that had very good English and was very efficient
She gave us all the information and directions to our lodgings with utmost clarity
Our first night was marred with a strong odour from the sheets pillows and towels,Imo this might be due to lack of airing prior to arrival,also the fridge kept us awake most of the night (noisy) but having reported this the following morning all was sorted out in a couple of hours
Very happy with the studio apartment we booked even though I was thinking of upgrading to a one bedroom apartment
Yes with previous reviews stating that the rooms are a bit dated we had no problem with this because we found the room to be very comfortable with a lovely view overlooking the pool (fifth floor room 2052)my daughter and her partner had a better view just above us on the sixth floor of the sea and the pool
Spotless clean,no problem with a change of towels and linen
Cant comment on the restaurant as we were self catering,but on passing and having a look in, all looked very nice and hygienic (buffet)....sorry cant comment on the taste
Entertainment...looking down on the setting from our balcony,looked and sounded nice ...if you happen to like blues or jazz
Some nights when we arrived back we had to pass "Pepe's" bar in the hotel on our way to our apartment,the place was buzzing sometimes at four o clock in the morning, lot of Spanish doing "salsa",looked like a lot of fun
Security...very good at night time, security man on the big revolving doors that stay open until 12 midnight,after that you need to use your swipe card that you use for all doors,the back door to the apartments stay open from seven am to seven pm (handy "little"supermarket straight across the road from the back door
check out the price of the wines they have,not too bad at all
All in all great spot ,lovely location,very comfortable and safe at night time
Having said this the owners of the Belroy need to employ a security guard for the day time,especially when their guests are leaving for the airport after their stay
Reason being my wife's hand bag was stolen in the lobby as we were busy loading our luggage on board the shuttle direct bus(very efficient service I must add) all her jewelry and irreplaceable documents after our renewal of our marriage vows after 32 years was gone forever,panic followed..we had to leave or we would miss our flight
Lot of tears and anguish followed and will take a long time for us to recover
Otherwise a lovely place to stay,just be careful no matter where you are
Best,wishes,Mike
