The Donovan

I love the apartment feel. It felt more of a personal stay than a hotel.

The doorknob code was a little awkward. It was not really visible and I walked up and down the street for 15 mins looking for how to enter before I called the phone number. I arrived at 12am so it was dark.

Location close to the beach

I would like a dishwasher. Also, parking should be full time available and not first come first serve.

La posizione

L’odore che proveniva dall’aria condizionata,le tende per ripararsi dal sole nelle finestre,lavandino molto vecchio con ruggine.

Not a lot. Very expensive for what it is, the quality of furnishing and decor, and what facilities there are (not)

The room we were allocated was accessed around the back (second gate locked off permanently) and it was all a bit tired. Having no pool or 'community' there was no life or 'buzz' at all. Parking was a constant concern as only a few free on-site spaces soon filled and local parking very expensive! Access on arrival was a giant pain. We arrived 2-3 hours late (just after 5pm) due to flight delays and 18 hours travelling we were tired and already stressed - only to find everything locked and nobody around to ask! All our calls to the owner and various other numbers we could find (including Booking.com) were to answer machines - ALL of which remain unresponded, even now! NOT happy at all. It transpires I had been sent an email earlier that day (whilst in flight!) with access codes and info BUT as I arrived with no working internet connection as yet, I had NO IDEA and NO SUPPORT so I was (still am) NOT AT ALL HAPPY with that aspect. NOT a good move on their part. Needs some back-up / contingency thinking.
