L'appartement de luxe de front de mer près de la plage

Eu poderia listar varias coisas que nos deixaram bastante frustados, mas apenas gostaria de dizer pra não repetirem o meu erro de deixar para a ultima hora.

Agendem com antecedência que poderão encontrar apartamentos muito melhores nessa mesma faixa de preço.

We spent 5 days in the apartment, with my elderly parents. We chose this apartment because of the lift, the bedroom layout, and of course the wonderful view. Steph met us on arrival and quickly showed us round. The apartment was very clean and, after opening all the cupboards, we found sufficient towels and blankets. I really don't think that more than 5 people could stay comfortably in the apartment. it was quite windy during our stay and warmer blankets/quilts would have been welcome, as would a bath mat in the bathroom because the floor is slippery when wet. The sliding window on the balcony didn't close properly so there was a constant draft which was a nuisance and the fact that the apartment was not securely locked was annoying. There was also a problem with the water draining from the shower tray which no doubt could be fixed with a plunger. There are no shops nearby, but fortunately we had a car so that wasn't a big problem for us. It would have been a nice touch to provide some basic groceries i.e. bread, jam, coffee, tea, sugar, milk. I would also suggest that it is time to renew the bed linen which is rather tired.

The view to the bay is really nice and I wish I could have it every day.

The apartment is indeed very, very spacious.

All rooms allow plenty of space.

The wardrobe is pretty clean with lots of space. Also all other facilities were clean.

The bathroom is rather small and the drain stinks from time to time. This is not a place to be longer than necessary.

I estimate it is approx. 1x4m

The wallholder of the shower head could need a bit maintenance as also the mixer for the shower needs.

If you wish to shower you've to heat up the boiler approx. 30 min. in advance; but that's managable.

The kitchen is well equipped with all necessary appliances.

The only think I was really missing was a dishwasher.

Overall the unit provides good comfort although almost everything - except the brand new and firm matresses - seem to be rather old.

Everything seem to be from the 1980's or early 1990's; pretty old I would say.

Even the synthetic leather sofa bed in the living room is quite worn out and it's surface has lots of damages. And it is not the one shown on the website; it is an old brown synthetic leather sofa.

The downside of the apartment is acc. to my experience the bus stop underneath the belcony directly in front (in both directions of travel).

As the buses are coming very (!) frequently on Malta in both directions and on several bus routes (even until late) you can enjoy every few minutes a noisy bus standing directly in front of your balcony either on this side or on the other side of the road.

And the exhaust of the roof mounted air conditioners of the busses will increase joy.

In regards to parking a private car it was always possible in a few minutes walking distance, but I can imagine that it could be difficult in peak times.

On arrival and departure I enyojed very much the elevator so that I did not have to bring my luggage up and down by myself.

The agency was always within reach by phone and very friendly and helpful. Thanks for that.

Overall a very nice stay, but I didn't appreciate the noise in front of the apartment as said above.

Enjoyed our holiday and will remember the view from the apartment forever. No shop, cashpoint, restaurant or any other facilities within walking distance of the apartment and given that we are all seniors it was necessary to take a 15 minute bus ride to Bugibba for these amenities. We did not find that there were “all kinds of shops, and entertainment (bars/restaurants, nightcubs, casino, watersports) 900m away from the apartment” as described in the property details but on a positive note, as the bus stop was directly outside the apartment, this didn’t present a problem or significantly detract from our holiday experience. The 21 euro weekly bus pass is excellent value and a ‘must have’ on arrival. The living area and the two bedrooms were clean, spacious and adequately met our requirements but the bathroom was far too small and poorly appointed and the water only trickled from the shower head. As the apartment supposedly slept seven persons it is difficult to envisage how they would have managed with such inadequate bathroom facilities. The lighting in the bathroom was poor making it difficult to shave and the dark brown towels weren’t nice and there were only sufficient of them for us to replace them once during our stay.

Many of your contributors on trip adviser comment on how helpful Neville, Ruth and their assistants were during their stay but within an hour of arriving at the apartment and deciding which tours to join we were very much left to our own devices and never heard from or had sight of Steph thereafter apart from a note she left the day after our arrival correcting the pick-up location of the night cruise we had booked. On reflection, we were a little disappointed that she only vaguely indicated the location of amenities and the pick-up point for the cruise as “across the street” when in fact it was a bus ride to the other side of St Paul’s Bay and that the pick-up was actually at the Porta-del-Sol hotel. Also, when we enquired about where to get a weekly pass for the Malta Bus we were advised to go to Valetta when in fact passes were available from local businesses. Again this wasn’t a major problem for us but it might not be so for all guests and although these points are only minor and may be seen as overly pedantic getting the little things right can make all the difference to a guest’s perception.

The pick –up and drop-off at the airport as arranged by Neville made our transfer easy and stress free and at 25 euro good value

Мы приехали с супругой на Мальту на 20 дней к друзьям и встретить День рождение. Арендовав эту квартиру на 5 этаже мы получили все, что хотели получить от жилья на Мальте, лифт, три балкона с прекрасным видом на море и город Бужиббу, полностью укомплектованная кухня, стиральная машина и интернет и современный ТВ. Замечательное расположение в 2 минутах ходьбы до центра, рестораны и магазины в 100 метрах от дома. Возможно тем кто поедет в июне-сентябре стоит обратить внимание на отсутствие кондиционеров есть только напольные вентиляторы, хотя возможно их установят т.к. квартира практически новая и они там предусмотрены, но пока их нет да и в апреле они не нужны. Квартиру мы арендовали через агенство, Руф представитель агенства была очень внимательна к нашим пожеланиям и просьбам чем заслужила нашу глубокую благодарность.
