We stayed in a brand new apartment for 4 days (180 euros per night for 6 pax) and it was really convenient since we did not want to pay a whole week's rent as we would have to do in any rental agency, or stay in hotel rooms with 4 children. The pool is big and not cold at all. The jacuzzi is cold and doesn't look appetizing, We had no meals here - but there really is no need to, there are so many nice places to eat out (try el font in the old town). The apartment equipment is not yet up to standard, we were with 6 but there were only 5 plates, glasses, sets of cutlery etc. No salad bowl, water kettle, bread knife, cutting board, bottle opener etc etc. Just a basic Ikea set. They haven't put any mattress protectors so I'm not sure for how long this will stay nice, but for now it was clean and pleasant. There are 2 bedrooms and a sleeping couch in the living. The beds and mattresses are brand new (like everything). You just cross 3 streets for the lovely beach and walk 10 mins to the old town. Ask to stay in the new wing and preferably not at the side of the pool but at the street side, where your balcony overlooks a little square, some trees, just fine. It was convenient without great luxury. No free internet but it's free at Intermarché, a few streets away. Parking is a bit of a challenge but we always found a spot and you don't need your car once you are settled. Gym at reduced price, 4 euros a day just downstairs. True, there is no room service or cleaning while you are there, and yes you have to carry your own garbage to the bins outside, but what's the problem...
