Shantell Boutique Apt

Liked · The location was very good, being close to the main square and 5 minutes from the beach. Disliked · There could be a long list, but key points are: ＞ Air conditioning was to the main room only, and not to the bedrooms. ＞ The mattresses were filthy/ heavily stained and should have had replaceable mattress protectors on them ＞ The bathroom flooded early on due to a blocked shower drain. On inspection this was due to the drain filter being clogged with weeks of hair etc. When this was raised with the owners they blamed us claiming that they had cleaned the filter prior to our arrival. This quite clearly was not the case! From then on, their arrogance and aggression only escalated ＞ The apartment building was (at best) old and tired. in reality the stairwells and the lift were filthy, and looked like they hadnt seen a cleaner for a very long time ＞ The rooms had a pathetic amount of storage for clothes, most unsuitable for a stay of more than a few days. There was nowhere to put suitcases, so we were constantly climbing over them to get to the beds ＞ The first cot they provided was broken and unsafe, with a mattress not suitable for that cot. On both accounts not fit for purpose. Again, confrontation from the owners when we tried to sort ＞ We had wild birds living in the vent pipe from the bathroom to the outside wall. This was due to there being no vent cover on the external wall. This was fixed by the owners ＞ There are no external blinds to the apartment bedroom windows, so daylight was difficult / impossible to restrict so sleeping in was impossible.

We spent 2 wonderful nights in this place. Greatt place to stay. It is cosy, beautiful, very close to the sea, just cross the main road and you are there. The place is clean, comfortable, The hosts are sweet and easy-going. Do not look for another apartment if you are in search of a family stay. Cool place.
