Apart Atlantico

We had a pleasant, uneventful stay from 29/9-1/10/25. There were three of us, all middle-aged, and we booked the day before. Sonia checked us in at 4, cheerful and friendly, handed us a “ticket” she said we must not lose, and showed us apartment 5. It was large, bright, and clean. We ate dinner and breakfast in both days, and appreciated the space and the short walk to the beach and amenities. The sea was visible to the right from the living room window, and the upper apartment seems to have a nice balcony with good views. The main room had a dining table, a large smart TV, two sofa beds, and a window facing the main road and a large empty lot. The welcome booklet had useful local information, and WiFi was quite fast. The apartment was non-smoking. The bedroom had a proper double bed, fitted cupboards, a chest of drawers, plenty of hangers, and new AC, which we didn't use. There were bedside tables, but sockets only on the window side. Its small enclosed “balcony” had three UPVC chairs, a drying rack, broom, dustpan, and mop, with closeable windows overlooking the road. The kitchen had plenty of equipment, including three sets of cutlery, crockery, and glassware, pots and pans, sieves, a lemon squeezer, chopping board, serving utensils, and cutting knives. It also had a new kettle, a simple microwave, coffee maker with a rinseable filter, blender, toaster, clean fridge, and an old-school double electric hob. No oven. The sink window looked onto the road and handy recycling and residual bins. Under the sink were a plastic drainer, washing-up liquid, nylon sponge, and clean tea towels. There wasn't much counter space or proper overhead lighting for cooking, and the tap dripped and needs fixing. The toilet had a bidet with plug and brush, a small sign asking guests not to put paper down the toilet, and a sink with no plug. There was complimentary shower gel, soap, three toilet rolls, and a good shower with soft water. We slept very well both nights, though there was a noisy motorbike. The quiet hours were 23:00-08:00. The recycling bins opposite were used occasionally and weren't noisy. The main door did slam now and then. The apartment had fire sensors, sprinklers, and a fire blanket in the kitchen. The fire exit was by the entry door, with the main exit through the front entrance lobby. The morning sun warms the apartment, so we used the shutters to keep it cool. Melissa was friendly when she checked the TV and remote at checkout, which was by 10:30. The view of the recycling bins, which are everywhere and necessary, may not suit everyone, and the small “balcony” was being used to store the cleaner's equipment, so it wasn't romantic if that's what you want. That wasn't the owner's fault, and everything worked. The main door could use a soft closer, and the kitchen tap still needs fixing.
