Tabaiba Apartments

I had a pleasant stay here. I must admit I was a bit anxious after reading some of the reviews but all in all I dont have any complaints. Now it isn't 5 star it isn't modern but like staying at your great grandma's house, well used but very clean. I am a bit of a clean freak so went around wiping the tables, sides, drawers, tv etc and not a piece of dust/dirt was on my white wipe. You get what you pay for and the appartment don't make your holiday YOU make the best out of your holiday!) If your going to spend alot of time here and you want modern luxury then this is not for. On arrival the receptionist was welcoming and helpful. 2 of us stayed in a ground floor studio by the pool. We just had to open our door and the pool was there. Our terrace had no scenic view but that didnt matter as it was private and a sun trap when the sun was out. Equipped with 2 sun loungers, table and 2 chairs, clothes airer mop, brush and shoval. Don't ĺknow if that was for us or if the cleaner's leave it there, but that was useful as I needed to use the brush to sweep up the beads I dropped. The other 2 of our party stayed in a 1st floor 1 bedroom apartment with a balcony with a stunning palm trees and distant sea view. We came on a Saturday and the cleaner came the Tuesday morning. We still have 4 days left and they come twice a week. If you want to watch tv its 10 euros for the remote. If you want wifi its expensive but you can split the cost or pay for less days with someone. 27 euros for 7 days for 2 devices tho not the best and you can't get UK TV but you can get netflix but if you need it desperately it's available. Your own data reception isn't that great hear neither runs a bit slow. PWe came on a Saturday and the cleaner came the Tuesday morning. They come twice a week. We still have 4 days left so will finish the review fully at the en with pictures to follow. I will just say the shops are approximately 25 minutes walk. We have a hire car but there is a free bus that runs 3 times a day to the town/beach.

Starting with the positives staff could not have been more helpful. We checked in to a ground floor apartment in block 9, spacious apartment with good kitchen area and clean enough. This was a cheap holiday so didn’t expect 5 star facilities. Now to the negatives, apartment dark, not even a lamp to help with lighting, broken furniture, drawers in bedroom warped and bowed and smelled of pee. Pillows and bedding grey. Bathroom smelled damp and mouldy. Smell of cigarette smoke coming from apartment above. Cleaning twice out of 7 days. Cannot understand how Tui can rate this complex 3 star. Perhaps we were unlucky with our apartment. Have stayed several times in CT at various apartments and hotels and this is barely 2 star in my opinion. You get very little for your money as WiFi is expensive at 6€ a day. Very basic standard. Will definitely stay elsewhere next time where for a little extra you can get free WiFi and 6 out of 7 days housekeeping - Santa Rosa for example.
