The apartment was very comfortable and well situated.
Overall, our stay was good. The apartment at Hillock Residences was clean, modern and well appointed, fairly close to shops and restaurants with plenty of choice (although menus on Gozo are all similar). Gozo wasn't quite what we expected, but we can see why the laid-back lifestyle appeals to many. The pool area was good and not too busy. Having the garage for parking was an advantage as street parking was mainly taken by the diving school vehicles on the ground floor.
A few very minor constructive criticisms, a guide to how to use the TV and DVD would have been useful - we did manage, but the choice of programmes was very limited.
It seems standard practice on Gozo to use antiquated kettles (rusty!) on a gas hob rather than electric kettles - surely 10 minutes of gas costs more than 2 mins of electricity.
The mild steel railings on the balconies are already rusting, and will need replacing in a couple of years - a business opportunity for someone in galvanising or stainless steel I think.
Finally, the details suggested that there would be a maid service (clean towels/sheets?) after 3 days - this service didn't happen! Our fault for not mentioning it perhaps, but shouldn't be necessary.
A good experience anyway.
Thanks, Phil & Paula
