This is a great thread, thank you. We are staying for two weeks at the end of a July in a studio apartment.

Questions: Will we get free coffee and shower gel in the studio room?

Washing machines - where is best for these and how much do they cost - tokens or change or what?

Thanks,

Where would you park if you were in these blocks?

Breakfast isn't worth it from Goods to Go you would be better getting something in the parks rather than waste it there. Housekeeping was hit or miss and agree also about the shampoo. Towards the end of our 2 weeks there it would have been end of 3 week holiday and we ran out of shampoo shower gel. Mousekeeping were a bit lax in putting out toiletries and on our last night I actually had to call as we were left none. Towels were another issue you would be better leaving a note to ask for towels for 6. My DH was forever hunting them down to get a towel for our 5th person.
We used to take out car to HH and leave our refill mugs in car so that we could get of at Hospitality get a drink then drive back to villa. we were last stop before hospitality and pool had no refill station so was easier to do this.
Hi
A lot of the housekeepers don't Speak English as their first language
So notes don't work in our experience
Pick up the phone and speak to the housekeeper services
I always call up when we arrive for a stove kettle and lots of hangers
Throw towels in bath for clean ones
On our first day we buy shampoo shower gel etc so we are not messing about with small bottles
I also buy laundry soap and tumble dry sheets as I don't like tide
Buy an American hair dryer as the dryer is weak and situated in the shower room

Thank you for replying ...

OK so the two teenagers use Lynx Shower Gel - are they likely to use the free shower gel - what is it like please?

Also, I use Tresemme shampoo and conditioner - is the free stuff what people use or is it not very good value?
