Firstly and most importantly do not take the bad reviews as gospel!! I believe that every review has merit in it somewhere but I do believe that some people have been overly critical of the Basilica - when frankly in my estimation the hotel was absolutely excellent! I booked the hotel with my gorgeous girlfriend 5 days before we arrived,... more

Booked this 3 days before we went.. read a few reveiws and was expecting the worse.... Actually it was plesantly supprising. We booked a superiour two bedroomed apartment and it was very clean and roomy with airconditioning, the towels were changed every day and the sheets every other. The pool was ideal the kids 4 and 5 had a great... more

The Basilica Gardens is situated very near to the harbour in an excellent position. Unfortunately part of the harbour front was blocked off during our stay as the harbour paths were being relaid. This work is due to be finished in May 2008. There is a large supermarket opposite the Basilica Gardens which is helpful. Taxi's pass by the Basilica... more

I went here with 3 girlfriends and we had booked a 2-bed apartment to give us plenty of space. We were delighted to be given a 3-bed apt (wasn't even advertised in the brochure) which looked like it hadn't ever been used before. Great kitchen with loads of equipment and dishwasher!!! 2 bathrooms and an extra toilet and huge bedrooms.... more

Okay so it wasn't bad but equally it didn't look like any of the photos in the official literature nor in some of the 2008 travel brochures, they're either using artistic licence or an airbrush! So what of the accomodation, well all the rooms appear to be air conditioned which is a blessing when the heat never drops below 40... more

hi we have just spent a week here 2 adults and 3 teenager girls (16 yrs), they did try to put us in a grotty room right at the back of the complex, this would have been very dark for our teenage girls, and we had asked for a pool view. after digging our heels in we were placed in... more

when we arrived at our room (note- we had to take up our own cases.... snobbery you think? no, i mean we had to drag them up three flights of stairs, our block had no lift.) and we were then greeted by several cockroaches during our stay. the basilica gardens is v.old and we had paid quite a lot for... more

We stayed at the basillica apartments in june 2007. It certainly doesent live upto the the brochure! The decor was very tired and could be doing with a makeover. We booked a seaview and was told when we arrived that they were informed that the rooms have no seaviews!. They are mostly all inland views looking onto other balconys with... more

Really cannot understand why some people have given this accommodation such glowing reviews! The Basilica is VERY basic, with delapidated interiors and exteriors, more like a 2 star than a 3 star... and that's pushing it... we were put in a room that I can only describe as the back of beyond, very depressing atmosphere and terrible view of, well... more
