Villa Florida

I must say having read the reviews prior to our holiday I was more than concerned about this accommodation. Much to our relief this accommodation was lovely! We all have our own opinions and ideas of a good hotel/self catering etc but I have to say this exceeded ours. The pictures on here seem a little dated and this can be a bit concerning. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was lovely and spacious. It had all the necessary equipment to make it a perfect place to sleep and eat if you choose to do so. Each apartment had an outside area with 2 personal sunbeds which was a nice added touch. The pool area was brilliant. No fight for a sunbed even if you turn up in the afternoon. The sunbeds are pretty new and very clean as is the pool. This was a welcomed experience as usually I have had to set an alarm and have awkward situations to get a bed especially in August. We stayed for 7 nights and we were sad to leave. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return. There is a hotel next door that is now derelict which is sad to see but it had no impact on our holiday at all. Lots of nice shops and places to eat. If you like Indian the Masala Twist was delicious and we visited there twice! The beaches are stunning and the toilet facilities at the beach are spotless which is always appreciated. We would happily stay here again.

Should be 1 star, bedroom is horendous, - 2 rock hard single beds pushed together inpossible to sleep or do anything on it plus no aircon just a faulty fan on the ceiling lamp making loud noises all night.... absolute hell its neen for is for 2 weeks, never again...and no option to upgrade room or bed. Decor is from the 80s, no vents in the shower room so it gets stinky, no shower gel provided, brocken kithionete worktop screwed back together, very very poor hotel, would not ever co.e back even for free, worst I ever stayed in.

A short 4 night break from life. Arrived 9.30pm to be greeted by a lovely Argentinian man on reception, he was very quick at checking us in as he could see we wanted to get out to the England match. He was friendly and funny. We got to our apartment, 157, and dumped our bags and headed out to the Rock Arena, less than 150m away. Once back I have to say, I was impressed with the cleanliness of the apartment. It had everything we needed and not once did we see any bugs. no air con in our apartment but I believe you can upgrade. It didn’t matter as there were fans for us and no direct sun into windows/doors. Tv was large and had English channels. We spent time around the pool and were always able to get a lounger, even when we went at lunch time or mid afternoon. The pool bar wasn’t open on the Sunday but there are plenty of supermarkets to pick up snacks and drinks. There is no music or entertainment around the pool area but we didn’t mind as chatted to other guests. Cleaning team were friendly and always said hello and when bumping into the receptionist, he remembered us, which was a nice touch. Pool bar soft drinks were overpriced and cheaper at supermarket but €5 for a cocktail was good value and there was plenty of ice creams to buy too. Although known as a windy island, not a lot of wind around the pool as surrounded by apartments. Overall we would definitely book again but if taking our kids we might look for somewhere a bit livelier. It was perfect for what we wanted.
