We've just returned to the UK from a lovely week and to a person we all had a fantastic time! There were 15 of us travelling in total ... 12 adults and 3 children. Travel cot and inflatable beds with all required bedding were provided for the children. Each villa has 3 bathrooms meaning each family / couple had their own bathroom ... Big help! All bedding & towels (including beach towels) provided. Kitchen facilities, utensils, etc etc all very well stocked. Limited English TV channels available but there is a DVD player which was handy, we packed a few DVD's for our young daughter to occasionally watch. Overall the villas are finished to a very nice modern standard. Couple of little constructive points, the pillows provided aren't the most comfortable and could do with some blinds / curtains on the rear kitchen window & door just to give a little more privacy if desired.
Outside the villas have now been extended at the rear to include a beautiful sun room, this is a perfect setting for a meal together. It includes the barbecue area which again is lovely, we made use of this a couple of times during the week.
The pool area is a very nice size with plenty of sun loungers / chairs to house everybody. The pool itself was a little chilly given the time of year but this didn't bother most of us once we were in. The solar heat blanket for the pool does make a big difference in the pool temperature so I would recommend putting it over the pool whenever not in use!
The location of the villas is a good 30-40 minute walk into the centre of Playa Blanca and the main Playa Dorada beach however the local Taxi's are very efficient. Around 5 euros for a taxi into the town centre and they are quickly with you once booked over the phone. locally there is a well stocked mini market, several restaurants (la flamenca is brilliant) a few bars and a fast food place, again very good after a few drinks if you're peckish later on! All within a 5 minute walk. In town, we would highly recommend the Da Vinci restaurant (owned by Juan himself, 10% discount for villa guests). Would also recommend a walk up Montana Roja, not too steep so suited to most ages and the views up at the top are panoramic!
All in all a fantastic week of winter sun, beautiful place and very friendly people. Pam, Juan and Barbara were all very helpful indeed and we will definitely be back again soon! Thanks :)
