We had a lovely friendly welcome from the managers of the let, they were happy to share their recommendations and were always helpful, there is even a free washing machine which was brilliant when travelling with young children. Google translate is a wonderful tool, to help us find what we needed and to communicate with the staff in the restaurant and shops. The apartment we rented was perfectly fine for us as a family of 5 and basically furnished, plenty of hot water, air conditioning, we self catered and all we needed was provided. You do need to pay extra fees on arrival but these are clear if you read the booking information before you book so we expected these. Also remember that almost everything closes between 1 and 5 on the island so be prepared to plan your shopping etc, on the day we arrived we had to have a drive around to find a open supermarket to get drinks and snacks before our local shop opened but it was ok,We were near the restaurant and this wasn’t a problem for us, the atmosphere was lovely and we had a great sea view and a lovely terrace. Our daughter is coeliac and the managers directed us to nearby places that could cater (including the close beach bar) . The local supermarket was friendly and well stocked. The small beach nearby was lovely, quiet and safe for young children, so nice to swim in the warm water. You will need a car to get the most out of the area, we visited different beaches and the city and enjoyed a lovely kayak tour during our stay.
