Great location for the South Coast

By Lol&Steph: From: Telford, United Kingdom June 2024 Good experience with great location for the South Coast We came to Maresol with a family of 4, and were trying a different type of holiday on the island. We found that overall the condo was clean, the correct beds were provided, and the security on the property was very good. Location The apartments are based down by St. Lawrence's Gap which is really convenient for getting to bars and local eateries, and far enough away that there is not excessive noise through the night. The rear access to the property (keypad locked) leads directly out onto Dover Beach, which is great for walks, and gets some good waves for surfing. There are sunbeds available just by the gate access that can be taken out an used on the beach which is very helpful. Grounds The gardens at the property are beautiful and well kept, and the grounds are attended by landscapers periodically through the year. The seating area provided can have additional sunbeds added to catch the sun, and faces out onto the sea that comes all the way to the wall for a beautiful view throughout the day. There is a small deck beside the seating area, and our kids enjoyed playing on it and watching the crabs. However, some might not be as confident about playing on it as it can be a little spongy. Rooms The rooms are traditional and came with a single wardrobe and a large bed (felt like king size) plus you can have additional beds added for a fee. The bedrooms have a sink in them, and then an en-suite with toilet and shower. The main rooms are large, and contain sofas and armchairs, coffee tables, and ceiling fans. The kitchens are large enough (a wide galley kitchen) and are fitted with all the usual white goods. In our condo we had a further section off the main room that was like a sun room/balcony which had a large panoramic window that looked out over the sea. Security The security at the property are always on duty at the office by the car park entrance, and greeted us on entry and exit. Beyond them, all access to the condo areas are blocked by security gates with a key-padded lock i.e. you need to know the code to open the gate. The condo itself was provided with security grilles on both the front and rear access to the condo, and there were fly screens on all windows and doors. Further to this there was a pulldown security shutter on the front door that provided even more security. Some might see it as overkill but for us it was reassuring as you know there's no chance of anyone getting in. Each condo is also provided with a safe within the room. We found that there was a really safe and secure feel around the grounds and it meant that you felt open to speak to others that you do see as you know they are doing a similar thing to you. Overall we enjoyed the break here, and would recommend it for the location and simple effective setup.
