Artoria Apartment 2 First Floor

This was our second visit to Artoria apartment 2 and it won't be our last. It has fabulous views and it's great that you can open the doors wide onto the balcony. Its very spacious inside and the new bathrooms are a great improvement. The free sun lounders is a real bonus too. Also having great places to eat on your doorstep and one of the best beaches for swimming.

Its hard to find negatives but if I'm being picky then a toaster would be good, so you don't have to put the oven grill on for one slice of toast. Also the safety deposit box still didn't work. We were here in October 2024 and it wasn't working then either. So they have had a year to fix it! Saying all that, there is nothing that would stop us returning. In fact we are looking into next year already.

A well-decorated apartment with an excellent view and a great location. The sea was always as calm as a pool.

There is no direct access to the sea; you need to walk around the building from the back, but it’s not a big deal.

Excellent location with everything you need in the bay. A car is needed if you want to go out and about to sight see. Welcome pack of a bottle of water and a bottle of wine.

Excellent location and very spacious apartment. Well equipped kitchen and good sized fridge. Beds were reasonably comfortable so sleep wasn't an issue. And the bonus of the Haraki Bay Hotel on the doorstep, as that's our favourite place to eat in Haraki.

Its a shame the air conditioning in all rooms weren't checked before arrival, as ours didn't work and it didn't get fixed until the night before we left. Also it was advertised with a safety deposit box, but we couldn't use it as the key was taken by a previous guest. And the only other thing I would say is they could do one more comfy chair in the lounge as the one sofa isn't big enough for 6 people and they could do with a small unit of some sort to put your food and things, as all the kitchen cupboards are full up with utensils etc.

The view from the balcony is spectacular! Big dining area and good A/C.

You’re actually paying all the money for the view. Other than the view from the balcony, the rooms don’t have any view and they are pretty small. The beds are not comfortable. The bedsheets and towels need to be renewed, they are stained. The shower situation is horrible. After each shower we needed to mop the floors because there’s nothing to keep the water in place. No shower curtain or glass! The apartment also need an urgent fumigation because we had various bugs in different parts of the apartment. The sun bed situation on the beach is confusing. Upon our arrival, we were told that the sun beds with the Artoria apartments signs are ours and we were 4 people (the apartment is for 6 people) and the next day we found out that we actually share 4 sun beds with the other apartment. So imagine like 12 people playing musical chairs with the sun beds. When you pay more than 3000$ for a week, your expectations are higher.

induction by Martin in person , beach facing, clean , all amenities and downstairs good restaurants and super market

May be glass partition be better for showers to avoid water spill. Showers are good.

Close to the beach. Big rooms. Dish washer, washing machine

The view was absolutely stunning. The location is great for a fly and flop. The kitchen facilities were really excellent. The apartment representative who met us at check-in and check out was really nice and responded very quickly to a couple of queries. Free parking Lovely and quiet, only the sound of the sea and the swallows. Perfect.

Swallows nests above front and balcony doors. You have to sweep and mop up the droppings every day as a minimum. There are plastic bags attached to the walls but these do nothing to catch the droppings. To spend time every day mopping is a big negative on holiday. We actually didn’t mind the swallows at all - the chicks were very cute and sitting on the balcony watching the birds swooping in and out was something we really enjoyed but some kind of fix to catch the droppings is needed. No shower screens in any bathrooms. Again, you need to get the mop/squeegee out every time you use the shower. Previous reviews mention this and indeed the owner replies he will take this feedback into consideration. No black out curtains in any bedrooms. See above re previous reviews that mention same. No sunbeds on the beach as featured in the pictures. After making enquiries they were brought out after a few days. Four beds to be shared between two apartments sleeping 6 each. Didn’t get to use them as were always occupied by other guests. Fair enough, first come, first served but the need to compete for sunbeds on holiday is not relaxing. Ended up paying for beds further up the beach. In the apartment itself, Not enough seats for 6 people. 1 x 3 seater couch and 1 x 4 seater dining table. Be aware of this if you are a family or group. Overall it just needs a few tweaks to make it somewhere we would stay again. Although it was still early in the season when we visited it felt like they weren’t fully prepared for guests.

Position of apartment is Top, 1st floor on the beach. Open space saloon, kitchen and terrace really good Super view panorama

All bath with shower without any protection (glass screen or curtain not present)...necessary update for this! Not direct access to the beach, need really small tour around the building..not so critical. Dirty due to swallow nests on terraces.
