Soft sands is a nice apartment, we were greeted with a bottle of prosecco and a carton of biscuits which we were grateful for, however when travelling for over 6 hours it would have been so nice to have had at least a pint of milk and a few teabags .We couldnt believe there wasnt a microwave very unusual.The parking space is for a small car we struggled with our VW and feel people should be told about the parking space being right up against a wall.I think the amount of steps both externally and internally to the apartment should be made clearer.A wardrobe in the second bedroom would be very nice instead of everyone having to share the same wardrobe for 4 guests.Value for money im afraid we have stayed in larger accommodation on the Esplanade before with perfect seaviews for a lot less money, We will not return but there was nothing awful about the place just think it needs an honest review

We had a fantastic holiday, a lot of thought was put into the accomadation, the little but important things, that make a difference, the appropriate number of chairs on the balcony, games, even an Xbox to keep the children happy. The views were amazing and access to the beaches is easy. The apartment is fully equipped to allow you to prepare your own meals if you wish. On arrival it feels like home straight away. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The views from the flat were stunning, it was ideally situated for walks and the beaches. The apartment was well equipped, clean and met all our expectations.
