Enjoyed our stay, lovely position with a great view from the large balcony. Apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed. We had to clean the small kitchen area before we left but a cleaning kit is supplied and it wasn’t really an issue,we also had to take our rubbish to the outside bins before we left. Lovely pool and good restaurants around the port. All in all good value for money.

Not so restful...
I don’t regret staying here, but the other reviewers comments were helpful and true: the bed was awful; you are expected to clean on your own apartment or pay a decent fee, but proper cleaning supplies (including even dish soap, etc) are not provided; paying more for the “harbor view” helped avoid the hot afternoon sun. However the “harbor view” is really much more accurately described as a “buildings view” in my case, so I definitely felt cheated in that regard. Plus, they hosted several afternoon/evening activities (complete with a loud sound system) that were horribly disruptive to my plans for a “restful” getaway. The location was very good though and the price wasn’t totally horrible for the season.

Excellent location and apartment. Would definitely recommend staying for a longer time (we only had 2 nights). A little difficult to find at first - Tourist Office did not know of the Residence however did direct us to Marigold residences which in turn made it easy for us. Everything was just great.

Great getaway!
This apart-hotel was lovely! We had a room upgrade and really enjoyed the area. It’s worth noting that you need to bring supplies like dishwashing and garbage bags. Our room had a strong smell of fish, which wasn’t all that nice, but overall a great stay.

Some good points, but let down in some areas
The staff on reception were outstanding. Very attentive and helpful. Generally the hotel was kept clean and tidy, especially the pool area. Cleanliness of the room left something to be desired. The towels we "hired"were of very poor quality and should only have been used as cleaning dusters. IMPORTANT: pay extra for the pool view rooms as the others are subject to punishing heat in the afternoon. 1 Euro bus on doorstep allowed us to roam far and wide during our 25 day stay.

overall a good experience
Finding the hotel and gaining access to your room after the specified registration hours can be quite tricky and time consuming. Once you've gained access to the building, however, the overall experience is good. We asked for a room facing the harbour which gave us a nice view. In March there were limited options vis a vis restaurants, even for breakfast, and the hotel breakfast wasn't as good as many we've seen. Later in the season, however, I suspect the place will be a hot spot with more choices. The hotel is somewhat isolated but a short drive took us to Argeles and Perpignan, both of which offered restaurants and a good samplingof culture and local colour. Perpignan is worth a visit and in Argeles we happened to catch an annual festival including a fantastic local parade. We'd stay at the Residence if we were in the area again. The price was reasonable and the room was terrific.

Argeles Port
An excellent location for exploring the coastal area of Roussillon, very friendly and helpful staff, spoke good English. We were allocated a marina view room (as requested) on the 4th floor with a fabulous view of the traffic free marina & sea. The grounds/car park of the complex were well secured with electronic pass gates and well planted with beautiful palm trees etc. The pool area was equally inviting with a welcome shaded area under a pergola. A 5 minute stroll through the pedestrianized marina led to good beaches and the start of an attractive 2km promenade to Argeles Plage.

Adequate lodging
The rooms were nothing beyond adequate. There is no artwork or color on any of the walls (an accent wall would help). The bed is very low, probably no more than 4" off the floor which makes the sheet and comforter drag on the floor unless you tuck them in. Very little room to move around the bed. Nice balcony though! What brings up our rating is the dedication of the reception staff; very pleasant, helpful and patient. The low "condition" rating comes from the odor from one of the bathrooms (which was reported but not able to be rectified) and the landscaping which could be improved by simply pulling a few weeds and planting a few more flowering perrenials. Very convenient for day trips around the area. DEFINITELY recommend L'Ardesia and Solazo rewstaurants when you don't feel like cooking!

The views are......................
Maeva Residence is a part of French Brand called Pierre & Vacances. It's a holiday residence that is self-catered. Our 1bdrm. apt. was on the 4th fl. with a balcony and a gorgeous view of Lower Pyrenean Mountains. If you can, ask for Rm.420, you will not be dissapointed. The residence is in the small port area full of shops & restaurants, but If you like to make your own breakfast or lunch, the kitchen in the apartment is adequate to prepare all meals. Another thing, the cable TV has 4 English language chanels so if you don't speak French, it's a Plus. A Minus, you have to clean your appartment before you leave or pay for it. Also, there is a charge for the towels, but for us that's a small inconvenience.
