Barras Apts

[shellbell]

Hi All,


Never been to San Stefanos before but looking at all the reviews we are hooked...just what we wanted for a 2 week stay! We are looking at the Barras apts and just had a question; Do they let you keep your room on if you have a flight early hours the next day as we will be checking out on the friday but the flight isnt going until the early hours saturday morning?

Thanks

It depends really on whether they have anyone else coming in to the apartment that day - if not you can maybe speak to George about keeping it on an extra few hours. Some places charge a little extra for this but its really for discussion with the owner. Difficult if there are guests arriving that evening to move into your apartment - they do have to be cleaned and prepared for new occupants and that job is normally done in the daytime.

If you can't keep the apartment on, departing guests usually can use a room set aside for everyone changing and freshening up before your journey home ( not all at once of course !! )

Anyway, you would have to check with George, the owner once you arrive.
Hope that helps!

the worst comes to the worst and George cannot supply a late room try next door! We have become good friends with Dominic from Thomas Bay and he has some showers down in the public toilet area. We have used these but it does mean carrying a damp towel home.

if we have a late departure i take a older beach towel and use it on the last day and throw it away when we are ready to get on the coach then no damp suitcase

Then again... you could always stuff it in a plastic bag....

Even if you can't keep a room on the owners will let you store your cases safely.

Only Don would like to borrow your shower if it works out OK!! LOL

Also - if you pal up with someone - you often get an invite to loan their shower - we have helped people before as well!!

I take it you are on a night flight - You may be able to keep the room if available - until the early evening for a shower,
then it's not too much of a problem, just secure your cases with George and enjoy a bar somewhere, then finish your evening at the Barras and wait for the bus!!
We did this the year before last when we stayed in the Barras!!
We love the Barras!! Great Location - really central, big roomy Apartments, older than some but cosy and typical of the resort.

Always a friendly welcome at Barras as well.

Unfortunately We will be back in the uk by then Don  We fly out on friday 5th June for 2 weeks. I cant wait!! Weve only booked San Stef because of all the lovely reports on here . We wanted somewhere where we can completely zone out on the beach and have a lovely relaxing evening with the odd drink or 2...or 3...or 4! but not be surrounded by 18-30s....God I sound old! San Stef seems to fit the bill nicely!

San Stef is made for you if that is (like us) - your kind of holiday, the only 18-30 there is Don of course!!! LOL
I am sure you will manage the night flight / shower problem OK.
Have a super time and please do a post to let us all know what you thought and how you got on!!
