San Francisco Park

"Apartments are really close to the main strip however to get into them you need to go down quite a steep set of stairs . The reception and cleaners were fairly unpleasant and unhelpful . The rooms leave a lot to be desired , tired and neglected . The rooms are dark and dingy with some seriously dubious wall art . Loose floor tiles and peeling paint on walls and the toilet seat worn .Mattresses for the sun beds , safe , parasols and fans can all be hired from reception however the reception only opened for a few hours in the morning . The pool area was never cleaned and the pool itself had a yellow rim around it and the water very murky . The only saving grace was a lovely pub called Mucky Duck that served great food near by .Unfortunately there was a cannabis shop close by too . Unfortunately the disrepair of the apartments out way the closeness to the strip ."

"Location is good, 2 minute walk and you are on the front opposite the Ale Hop shop. Access to the apartments is down a flight of stairs, no other access, with stair access to some apartments. Reception is part time, most of the time an envelope is left stuck to the window with your name on it. Atmosphere is none, not allowed any low level music, so you need head phones. Some of the apartments look like they have been sold off. No noise between 1pm and 4pm, so it is very quiet if that is your thing. So from the outside it looks similar to most other apartments. You can use the pool between 8.00am and 8.00pm although strangely the sun beds are chained and padlocked until after 9.00am, no issues getting sunbed around the pool. You have to pay for a mattress for the lounger during your stay and take it back and forth from your apartment to the pool on a daily basis, also return the lounger to the pile at the end of the day. Water in pool was cloudy and with scum coloured marks around the pool similar to a bath bom residue and scum on water surface, no diving, no inflatables, no ball games. Never seen the pool areas being washed down, only a quick sweep round with a brush and the main walk and a dry mop Drink spills which were sticky were there for over a week of our stay. Stayed in plenty of studio type accommodation over the years and these are certainly the worst. In need of serious refurbishment and very small. Added some photos which tell no lies, feel free to zoom in. Tiles coming off the wall around sink, broken cupboard surfaces, toilet door warped and had to be pulled to close into the lock. Worktop surfaces worn through. 1970s style plates. Everything just looked tired and dirty looking. See the photos attached. No air conditioning, these rooms are oven hot, no matter what you do, had to sleep with door open, some residents actually sleeping outside. Fans for hire at euro a day, safe 20 euros with 10 euro refund when you return key, wifi code at 5 euro per stay, lounger mat at 5 euro each per week, library of books a 1 euro each, parasols for hire also. 2 small loo rolls supplied, thereafter you are on your own to supply, whether on 7 or 14 or more days, bedding only changed after 7 days, towels changed once during a 7 night stay. Next door to a cannabis smoking social club, some days you could smell what was being smoked. Old water feature at poolside looks like never been used for many years and after further perusal there is a gorilla type monkey as part of the water feature holding his privates which is the water fountain so not sure what that was about. These apartments need serious refurbishment. There is much better out there for similar money, so as a group of couples we won't be coming back to this one. Only 1 star I am afraid for this. This won a trip advisor award but this was back in 2012 an 2014. Don't think they have spent a penny on this place since. Apartments Poor."

"Our 2nd year here. It's well priced , good location, clean, very basis. Negative..needs a bad renovation especially the bathroom. Take out those baths and put in a walk in shower. Oh yeah. Renovate that bad garden waterfall area. Please."
