We arrived at our apt just in front of the marina on our first night, and after the initial viewing it looked fine. UNTIL we went into the bedroom
My wife found about 30 ants all having a good chew on what looked like a beetle or something. She was convinced it was a cockroach, but it looked to small, but either way she wasnt happy. The Spanish agent showing us around told us "it is a huge problem in Pp, they fly in thru the windows!" But these werent flying ants at all. "Theyre only little animals" she said
My wife wasnt happy but i assured her that so e ant spray would do the trick.
So i sprayed the bedroom, then we went out for some tapas and vinho
On our return we found all the critters seemed to be dead, but mrs Jiggy still wasnt settled and insisted in sleeping with the light on
The following day we spent most of it on the beach, followed by a great pizza in Little Italy. Returned back at the apt at about midnight, only to find in the bedroom 3 COCKROACHES!
My wife was by now totally fed up and refused to sleep in the apt. So we booked the
Daina at around 12:30.
Ii must admit the Daina was fantastic but more about that in another thread.
We got up the next morning and phoned the agent. She told us "there is a huge problem in PP with them" Weve heard that from her before. I must admit weve never seen a "huge problem" with either ants or cockroaches in PP in the 4 tomes weve been here. She wouldnt give us the owners telephone number, said she didnt know it, and to deal with any problems with The company who we booked the apt with.
So, we decided to
stay in the Daina for the duration of the hol, rather than be dreading coming back to the apt after a night out.
Upon our return home we emailed a compliant to the company we rented it from about the apt ( i am not going to name the apt just yet, incase the company sorts a partial refund out AND sorts the problem out at the apt. If they dont, then its time to name and shame.)
Do you think we did the right thing in leaving the apt? Or do you think we were a bit hasty. It would have ruined our hol staying there.
Sorry about the long post
