Maricel 1 - review, 9/23

[Harters]

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment (Apt 101) on the first floor of the building. You check in across the road at the Miramar, which owns the apartments. It had a good view from the balcony, overlooking the very nice pool area.

There’s good air con and wi-fi. Reasonably comfy beds. Kitchen area could do with a bit more basic kit An example is that the only kitchen knife is a serrated bread knife – useless if you wanted to chop something for a salad, or peel a bit of fruit. And a bit of worktop lighting wouldn’t go astray. Place was spotlessly clean on arrival and is kept that way by housekeeping visits on five days a week.

The only real negatives about the apartment were noise related. It’s next to the lift, so occupants of the adjacent bedroom hear it every time it moves. I don’t know if the apartment walls are particularly thin, or the occupant of the apartment adjacent to the other bedroom was a particularly loud snorer but it disturbed my sleep. Fortunately, I had ear plugs with me for just such an eventuality, which I needed almost every night of our stay..

It’s generally a great location. A couple of minutes stroll to the Pine Walk. A Spar in the same block for all your basic shopping needs, although there’s an Eroski City only a few minutes’ walk away, with better choice.

We’d definitely come back here.
