We had two families staying for one week (4 adults & 4 kids aged 12,13,14,16). The owners were excellent with communication, very happy to help with any questions and I felt very assured when organising.
The villa is very spacious to cope with 8 and the bedrooms being good sizes with an excellent on-suite off the main bedroom. Good size kitchen which was linked to the main lounge and a side door to an outside eating area. TV and DVD, all main UK channels inc Disney Channel for the kids.
We met the local managers at the villa (Paul and Gill) who showed us round and were happy to help with any questions we had. They also sorted out an internet dongle for my laptop which kept the kids happy of an evening (Facebook!).
The pool is definitely the gem of this villa. The kids absolutely loved it! (as too did the adults!) and it really did make a difference having your own private pool on those hot days n nights. Remember you need to use the outside shower to remove any sun cream before entering the pool as it could leave a film on the water.
This is a residential area and can be very quite of an evening. Our neighbour did like to play his music (the ‘best’ of A-Ha ?!) during the day and we could hear it when he left his windows open. But he would turn it down/off in the evening.
You need a car to get around. We drove to the beach a few times (lots to choose from), did the market on the Friday and went into the town centre another (with a Fun Fair, a night market and lots of restaurants along the front). If you want to hit the town for a drink, jump a local taxi (approx 12euros one way). Paul recommended a great (n very cheap) Chinese restaurant five mins drive away, ask him for details..
I agree with the rest of the reviews, it’s a great place to relax and unwind and we all felt very safe in the villa. We were all very happy to sit out in the sun most days and BBQ most evenings just chilling while the kids still found time to go for an evening swim… It’s not near any resorts and with only a few of bars within walking distance don’t expect a Benidorm night life, but I do recommend the Karaoke on a Thursday night at Bar Kenz!
Things to improve?..possibly table tennis as there’s loads of space to have one outside and would help keep teenagers amused of an evening.
Overall – really great value for money, very spacious, relaxing and an amazing pool… hence 5 stars....Paul, Helen thanks
