"Second time of staying here, it’s a lovely property in a good location and good value."
We’re already thinking about re-booking. A few areas to note:
- on arrival a slightly unpleasant smell in the en-suite bathroom which soon disappeared
- wine cooler doesn’t appear to work (not a problem - the wine went in the fridge!)
- plenty of cutlery but very few food preparation knives which were not sharp
- not much you can do but again the people in the apartment were noisy
We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are pleased to see you again for a 2nd time and are glad that you enjoyed the lovely property. We have picked up on the points you have raised and will be looking into these for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back to Bamaluz in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team.

The apartment is fabulous, exceptionally clean and comfortable. The position of the apartment is really good for the trainline and also a bus stop just across the road.

"Bamaluz is an excellent contemporary holiday apartment which is nicely furnished and well maintained."
It is well equipped, has comfy beds and the added advantage of on-site parking. St. Ives is easily accessible by bus as the bus stop is very close to the property or alternatively Carbis Bay train station is a fairly short, hilly walk away. We really enjoyed our stay here and would thoroughly recommend the apartment.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and both felt very comfortable. We have been very lucky with the weather and enjoyed some spectacular walks along the Coast Path. The highlight of which was the walk from St Ives towards Zennor. It is quite challenging in places but very worth it for the amazing views and sound of the crashing waves.

! The apartment was very new and clean, the balcony had ocean view and despite sleeping with an open window, we heard nothing from the nearby street while sleeping.

"Not a lot can be done about this but the apartments don’t appear to have much in the way of soundproofing from above."
Sounded like a herd of wildebeest up there from time to time. (We are in No 4 this week and it’s the same here.) Having the boiler in a cupboard in the bedroom was annoying. Took me a few nights to get used to it chuntering away. Having said that Bamaluz is a very comfortable apartment. It was exceptionally clean and tidy for our arrival and was a perfect base for walking to St Ives. Well kitted out with good quality fixtures and fittings. Extremely comfortable bed! Parking is good for the area with a space on level ground behind the apartment block. [I’ve ticked ‘Yes’ re publishing feedback but you might wish to edit out my comments about noise. Not much you can do about neighbours or how the architect decided to configure the layout! Would we return to St Margaret’s? I doubt it. As you know we have already had two apartments on Headland Road with you this year. We miss the frontline view.]
Thank you for your feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and found it extremely clean and tidy! We are sorry to hear that the apartments at St Margarets are all quite noisy, thank you but we cannot edit feedback to alter peoples comments.

"Really nice apartment."
We reslly enjoyed our stay at Bamaluz. The only thing that we were disappointed with was the constant noise from the apartment directly above which constantly sounded like a herd of baby elephants stampeding around at all times of the day and night. I realise there is not much that Sykes could do about this but it did take the shine off what was otherwise a really relaxing holiday in a nice apartment. Something the owners could do something about is the bushes to the left of the gate when exiting the property as these obscure the view on what is quite a dangerous bend. Overall, we were a bit apprehensive about our stay after staying at other quality rentals in the area for the last 14 years but we were very pleased with our stay with Sykes and will definitely book again.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the property and your stay! We were saddened to hear about your noise issues during your stay. Thank you so much again for your comments and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

""This apartment is wonderful."
Being brand new it is very modern and everything is finished to a high spec. The decor is lovely and it has a very comfortable feel to it. The apartment had everything we could have wanted and needed. A great location, 10 minutes walk down (a very steep hill) to the carbis bay beach and approx 25 minutes walk into St Ives along the road or coastal path. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone. The only negative is that the description says 'sea views'. These sea views are extremely limited, you can see a little bit of sea because most of the horizon is covered with a line of trees below the apartment. I imagine you do get a sea view in winter when the trees have no leaves. If you go knowing that you will not be disappointed. Everything else was perfect. "
