“The property was just basic, good views, quiet area next to the beach. Be ready to walk or rent a car.
Initially it lacked a coffee machine, which they provided next day. But furniture, utensils and decor was just basic, not what I would expect for the price point I paid. Quite under-maintained fittings in kitchen and bathroom.
Almost daily cleaning service was good”

“Property was nice, it was a bit of a walk away from the port more like 25 minutes with luggage. The staff were very kind, communicated the basics through WhatsApp and we enjoyed our stay but would recommend closer to the port next time ”

“The property is fine, is just the limited dining around the area, but when I rented the property I knew I had to walk to find better dining options”

“The location was very good with easy access to the beach, restaurants and shops and the apartment has a great view. The daily cleaning and fresh towels every few days were lovely.
On the downside, it was lacking in cooking supplies (ie. no cutting board and no coffee machine), if you’re planning on eating out every meal then this isn’t a problem.
Also, while the view is great, some shade in the afternoon would have been perfect! ”

“It was great, 10 minute walk to seaside restaurants and 15 mins right into the port town. The beach across the street was very good, very swimmable and the life guard tower is right across the street. Mini mart is 10 minute walk. Perfect location. ”

“Location a decent walk from the port. But location across from beach is phenomenal. Air conditioning in every room was outstanding. The interior was deficient of adequate and nice furniture, the toilet struggled to flush even with one piece of toilet paper, and the place had insects like mosquitos all in the bathroom. Apart from that, and maybe the bed being cheap, decent spot. ”

“On Expedia website, Play on the Sands is advertised in pictures as a lovely building with a garden however our SUPERIOR studio apartment was in a building next do above a derelict restaurant. Although advertised as having a garden, there is NO garden for this apartment. View from the window is a building site next door and it was noisy from the building works on Saturday morning
In my option, there is nothing superior about this apartment. The curtains do not fit properly. The curtain on the window has disgusting stains on it. The sofa bed is covered by a throw however it also has stains on it. The shower pole was detached when we arrived which was dangerous as it holds the shower glass in place. The TV does not work. The shelf by the patio door is about to fall off the wall therefore it is unsafe.
I contacted the hotel management team through expedia however they did not respond. I therefore contacted Expedia who also could not initially get hold of the hotel.
Eventually through Expedia, Play on the Sands offered a £50 refund. This is an absolute insult considering all the ussues. Expedia gave us a £30 refund so a total of £80. This is totally unacceptable.
Housekeeping on exedia, it states daily housekeeping. We stayed for 4 nights/5 days and the room was only cleaned once.
Positives- the room is a reasonable size
The balcony ( although not very clean) is a reasonable size
There is a beach right across the road.
There is a sea view from the balcony
