Mareta Beach House - Boutique Residence

It was beautiful and clean

The lady at check in was rude

Everything

the position, the swimming pool, the room size, the cleanliness

breakfast was kinda poor, they asked 10 euros per towel as a deposit, first time it happens...owner must be kinda cheap

The location was fine, parking offside wasn't expected but no issues experienced with parking over the road. The rooms were fine, beds comfy, facilities ok. The view over the pool and out to sea were superb. The chap running the pool bar was great, easy to talk to, and nothing too much trouble. He needs to be on reception as he is a very personable chap - see comment below regarding poor reception staff. The outside space was lovely, as was the pool and having sun loungers and table and chairs.

The reception staff were not engaging or particularly friendly. It felt as though we were an inconvenience even though three were on duty. We even had to ask where breakfast was, and when we went down the first morning no one asked if we'd had breakfast before or anything, we were just left to get on with it. Even when we checked out there was no "how was your stay", there was barely a thank you. Very disappointing, and not what we would expect from any hotel - every other hotel.we stayed in were brilliant on reception. I can get anyone talking, but failed at this hotel/B&B. The walk in shower was very mouldy and not what we expected, it should have been spotless. If mould appears it needs regrouting or fresh silicone. Walls were blistering and needing maintenance. A tired facility, compared to the room.
