Liked: Staff & service
The apartment was generally clean, although there was some sand on the sofas and in a few drawers in the bedroom, which isn't a big deal. However, the washing machine had mold and a strong musty smell inside. Also, the BBQ gas tank was empty, but after notifying them, it was replaced the next day. The check-in process was somewhat cumbersome, as it was necessary to provide credit card details over the phone to a staff member. Although the online check-in works, the access code takes about 20 minutes to arrive. The resort has two pools, but guests have access to only one, depending on the room option selected.

The windows on ground floor were not able to lock so anyone could get in if they wanted to. I was unable to leave my valuables there. The bathroom and shower had mold up the walls and ceilings. The towels were not great but The staff were friendly and the location was very nice.

A very short walk to the beach, and shop,if i needed it. The pool was fabulous, nice and deep. I visited Agnes when it was a quieter time, so i had it mostly to myself. Bottom floor accommodation was great for my week.

Fabulous location, great facilities, wonderful restaurant - we’ll be back. The only downside was that the access to the beach was closed for renovations so we had to walk the long way around to get to the beach

All in all a very nice property with good facilities and beach access. Small things let it down like dripping taps, flat batteries in AC remote, blinds that don't open properly, floor not cleaned very well and no place to wash dishes other than bathroom sink Also hot water not quite hot enough.
