On arrival we were greeted by a lady with little knowledge of English. Bearing in mind she is running a holiday complex. She took us outside and pointed to our bungalow, well roughly where it was after a 5 minute walk with loads of bags we found it!!! Kind of wish I hadn't. On opening the sliding door(which came away from the wall we were greeted with ants everywhere, mainly the kitchen work tops, if that's what you can call it. All it had was two hobs, one that didn't work. And a fridge, self catering looked like it was going to be fun. After laughing (as is I was not sure what else to do) I said to the girls let's have a cup of tea and then go for a look around. Oh can't do that kettle extra charge!!! So we decided to get changed and use the free bus to the beach. We all needed to use the bathroom after a long journey and yes the toilet was not working. Went to reception and a unhelpful rude maintenance man came in barged past me. I was trying to stop him as my daughter was in the shower. He went in made a noise left . I said grasyass no reply. The toilet not fixed with constant water running.Went to the beach to be hounded by some African ladies harassing you for money, after being stung for 10 euros a crap bracelet we walked around the beach area. This was a nice area and we spent several times there. Also along the downs is a neediest beach. Brace yourself for that one most of them are old and stand there with all on show, not so good when an old boy was stood up stacking stones with his bits and bobs out, lol So to the good bits. We had fun at the yumbo centre, but you need to have an open mind,as it is the main area for the gay seen. We had several good nights there and met up with some great guys. The trip out to see the dolphins was also really good although we did not see them it was still good with a banana boat ride and lunch. Overal I would say pay a little extra and stay elsewhere. There was three of us so I ended up on the sofa for a week. The sheets had not been changed and the toilet broke the whole week even after reporting it several times. You also have to hire toaster kettle safe tv was a charge to watch I put in 2 euros got about 30 minutes. So to round up unhelpful people on the island and the site. Weather good. Upgrade to a better complex.
