    “We found the amusement park and swimming pool to be a real bonus to the holiday, but felt that the apartment was not very child friendly as there were so many stairs.”

    We booked a cot and high chair which were not provided on arrival. The shower only provided cold water. There is no reception point and no staff on the premises after 4pm and the area has no phone reception, so we could do nothing but hope our 2 year old didn't fall out of bed. These faults were fixed next day although the shower continued to be a problem, but all the staff we could find seemed to be solely concerned with running the very fine amusement park and no-one was assigned to look after ...
