Apartment is very clean and new, located at convenience location closed to bars, restaurants, and beach. It is good for couple who what to have home cooking moment because there are oven, microwave and kitchen equipment available. Breakfast is basic but quality for us that was ok. Yogurt, granola, fresh fruit, egg, charcuterie and cheese also breads. Not too bad at all. Value of money package from Expedia. Photo of apartment is real. Flights are smooth !

We statyed for 5 nights and the place is fantastic. Great location, close to the beach and tons of bars and restaurants in the community. The place is super clean and has all you need for a longer stay. The staff are super friendly, they do room service every day and they have very good breakfast every morning. They also have live music over the weekends at the roof top whcih was very nice. Highly recommended.

Can't complain about the room but felt scammed
Pros: Apartment was big and spacious
Location was central
Neg: charged 4 euro tourist tax for two nights, next hotel was 50 cents for one night🤔
Asked for an clothes iron, it didnt have the countries plug, asked at reception for an adaptor or another iron and i was offered to buy one for 10 euro "i had to" felt like a scam to me
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at StiLLel Retreat. The room was clean and room service was excellent. We were able to cook meals together and enjoy use of the smartTV, WiFi and Aircon.
The staff were polite and communication was excellent.
There was one night of loud music from an adjacent hotel/bar/restaurant but apart from this the room was well sound insulated and we slept well.
We would definitely come back.

Accommodations were nice. Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed to make and eat a meal. Skip the breakfast and go grab something across the street. There’s a lot of options. Truly the only downside and a big one was all the construction. The main roads were blocked all the way down to the beach. Making a maze out of the streets. Even the beach front streets were blocked. It really ruined the atmosphere. Wish we had stayed anywhere else due to this. Having a washing machine was nice. AC was nice a cool. Staff was accommodating and got me an extra pillow when asked.

Excellent location and lovely staff who accommodated my request for a table to work from in my room. Decent breakfast on the rooftop which has lovely views of the area and lots of space to chill/hang out. I was staying on the first floor which was quite loud at times but lots of space in the room for storage and the bathroom was modern and clean. My room was quite dark and didn’t have a balcony so if I was to stay again I would ask for that. Otherwise, lovely stay and would definitely recommend.
