🪳 Cockroaches, Ants & Four Days of Cold Showers – We Came Home Early! My friend and I stayed at W Suites, Stalis from 27th September 2026. I’ll start with the positive. On arrival, Ben was very helpful, showed us to our apartment (number 6), and the staff in general were pleasant. Sadly, it went downhill rather quickly from there. First, the cockroaches. And I’m not talking about the occasional tiny insect. These cockroaches were so big they looked like they had prison tattoos and previous convictions. 🪳 Then came the ants. Ants everywhere. There is actually information on the apartment door explaining that ants can be a problem because the apartments are surrounded by greenery. Sorry, but I’ve stayed in plenty of places surrounded by greenery without having an ant army sharing my accommodation. Surely some form of pest control or ant treatment could be used rather than simply putting up a notice explaining why they are there? But the insects weren’t even the worst part. We had NO HOT WATER. At first, I was understanding. The weather had been dreadful, with thunderstorms and heavy rain, so I wondered whether that might have caused the problem. I reported it to reception and was told the technical team would sort the problem in apartment 6. They didn’t. I reported it again. And again. And again. For FOUR DAYS. Each day we were told there was a technical problem, yet each day we were still treated to another invigorating ice-cold shower. We weren’t the only guests complaining either, as people in other apartments were reporting the same issue. Hot water isn’t a luxury. Being able to have a warm shower and wash properly is one of the most basic things you expect when you pay for holiday accommodation. Eventually, after four days of freezing cold showers, cockroaches built like bouncers and ants marching around the apartment like they owned the place, we’d had enough. We actually cut our holiday short and flew home early. That says everything. It’s a shame because the staff themselves were pleasant, but repeatedly reporting such a basic problem and having nothing done about it completely ruined our holiday. Would I recommend W Suites? Absolutely not. Would I stay here again? I’d rather take my chances holidaying with the cockroaches — although judging by their size, I suspect they’re already paying the mortgage. 🪳
