Good Apartment, nice sea view, close to Bugibba Square
Fairly good apartment. Good location right on the sea front, it gets strong sun in the morning and evening (not mid day as it is in shade).
Checking in was easy, and clear instructions are sent.
Owner owns the entire 10 floor block. 2 or 3 people will respond to any question you send them quite promptly.
We had a problem on booking as AMEX was not accepted so we have to make full pre-payment by bank transfer to avoid a 3% surcharge - none of this is mentioned on the listing. It seems like a way to get some extra.
What is on the listing, but easy to miss is the 'electricity limits' which you are reminded of in posters, texts and emails - any 'excess' is charged. Makes it quite stressful as they never say how many units you get allowed before the charge applies - just an appropriate amount.
You will also get links to introduce you to their travel agency which is on the ground floor.
They also have a cafe on the ground floor and a restaurant on the first floor but these were closed during our stay.
The facilities are fairly standard/basic, although we would have preferred to have some cleaning supplies available - even some wipes to give surfaces a clean - and extra towels - only given 2 towels each. There is a washing machine but no detergent.
The dodgems/bumper cars across the street do make a little noise, but that stops about 11pm.
There are a lot of restaurants/bars near by.
Parking generally can be a problem as the one way system means a lot of circling!
