Apartamentos Celeste

Celeste Apartments: Great location, close to the beach, square, and various shops and bars. Although the apartments had good balconies and were generally relaxing in the evening , some nights were disrupted by noisy neighbours blasting music from evening to early hours.Despite contacting staff, there was little support in managing the noise. Otherwise the place was as silent as a library- nobody spoke or laughed during the day, there was no excited laughter from kids or anything. You felt like you had to whisper. The apartments in block one are dated but this didn’t bother me. If you are used to staying in hotels then you might be disappointed as there are no frills. They are spacious and have all you need for a week. Positive Aspects: Fantastic location, great bars and restaurants nearby , pleasant staff. Negative Aspects: Noise issues at the apartments by neighbours , and a deep tiny pool with a glass wall around it which was off putting. We would not return and I would say it’s best suited to older solo travellers/couples.

A week after being home the Celeste apts decided to take over another £100 from my account as they said they’d accidentally undercharged me. I had previously paid the invoice amount pre holiday. The fact they just use card details after I’ve returned home as they please is disgusting. I never gave permission ! Aside from this the apartments are dark on top of each other which renders the balcony area useless , no privacy as hear every apartment around you including people peeing etc. and yes unfortunately cockroaches were seen and boy they were big! Placement central only positive. If booking please ensure they dispose of your card details before you leave or imaginary invoices will be deducted .

Block 3 Pros - Location is great, very close to supermarket, beach, bars & restaurants - Reception staff was very approachable and did take time to see if there was a different room available for me to change to Cons - Not accommodating. As a young solo female traveller, I requested a first floor apartment. When I arrived there, I was on a ground floor apartment with an open terrace that anyone could walk onto. Made me feel uneasy. - Actual apartment was different to the one I booked on the website. The bedroom on the website shown proper beds with a headboard. I arrived there and it was very close to being a plank of wood with a mattress as hard as a rock on top. - Living area is not a living area. The sofa was a garden bench with bench cushions on them, it felt very unsteady with one person sitting on it, I dread to think how it manages with 2 people. - Wardrobe had no doors on so cleaners etc could see all items etc. - The shower, filthy. It did not look as if it had been cleaned properly for a good year. The tap was full of grime and the shower head was caked up in limescale. - The bed sheets were dirty on arrival I moved to a hotel after one full night. Overall, I would not return.
