Request a top-floor apartment for quieter nights, private balconies, and better views; remember there are no lifts.

Request a pool-view room for attractive outlooks and better views.

Request a ground-floor apartment, ideally near the pool, for cooler rooms and easier access with young children or mobility difficulties.

Choose Siesta Mar 2 rather than Siesta Mar 1 for better-maintained pools, closer shops and laundry, and children’s televisions.

Choose a room away from the entertainment and nearby bar, especially if you are sensitive to nighttime noise.

Avoid rooms 22 and 25 if you want to escape the bar and karaoke noise.

Avoid rooms numbered 20 and upwards because they back onto the entertainment area.

Allow extra time and energy for the difficult steps down to and back from the beach.

Try The Samoh for good-value set menus and decent cooking.

Dine early, ideally before 7pm, because popular restaurants may have queues.

Skip the expensive pool bar and shop at the supermarket across the road instead.
