Bahiazul Villas and Club

Absolutely loved this place!

We are typically used to the huge all inclusive Turkish resorts with activities going on everywhere, and this was a completely different change of vibe and pace for us.

Quiet, serene, peaceful with a gorgeous aesthetic which relaxed you from arrival. Airport transfer took about 35mins, and we were the first stop.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom royal villa, as a family of 5 late July. Villa number was 3-8.

The aspect was south west facing and we loved getting the sun in the pool area. Pool was heated and never felt cold. Air con throughout.

Towels are a plenty, and replaced every two days. You get an oven, microwave, fridge freezer , dishwasher, cooker, utensils crockery, dishwasher tablets, bin bags, dish washing liquid, even toothbrushes and toothpaste ! TVs in the bedrooms and the lounge, free WiFi and netflix runs perfectly but remember to log out when you checkout or the next guests will have your netflix profile on the TV .

Rooftop terrace is beautiful, spacious, with a jacuzzi , dining area and large beds. Evenings and nights here are a must staring at the sky, we often enjoyed our morning coffees here too.

Breakfast and lunch is served in the main restaurant, and there are plenty of options. One thing I would say is any vegetarian options should be labelled with a 'V' , it's not a big thing in Spain it seems.

The staff are really really helpful, always happy. The cleaners do a thorough clean every two days, and the pool and jacuzzi cleaners turned up twice in our week to clean the water. Our dishwasher wasn't working as it should (no heat), I reported it, the next day we came back to a brand new dishwasher!

One thing to note, it's a calm resort, hardly any noise and is built for peace and calm. You get your villa, the main restaurant and bar, a pool table in an outdoor social area with some live singers at evening dinner sometimes and that's it.

If a busy, hyper energy and activity filled resort , with a large community pool and water slides with aqua aerobics and evening entertainment shows with late night discos etc is your thing then this may not be your cup of tea.

We hired a car from CICAR , never driven on the right side of the road, but got the hang of it after a day and driving here is really easy. No traffic , no traffic lights, everyone drives with no aggression and at the speed limit. Roads are quiet and easy to get around.

There are two supermarkets 5 mins walk away, the car helped get the shopping back. Prices are cheaper than the UK, just !

We drove to Correlejo town centre a few times, parked for free in the car park just past the water park opposite Mata souvenirs. Always a space and free 24 hours. From there you can easily walk the entire strip which is full of shops, souvenirs and cafes, and to the two small sandy beaches which run alongside the strip too.

We drove to the sand dunes national reservation area (10mins) parked up on the roadside FV104 with everyone else, and walked across the dunes for 5 mins to the stunning beach and Grandes Playa Correlejo. This is a must visit beach, the sands are white and the sea turquoise. Like something off a postcard. If it's a very windy day though, sit in the small stone built shelters, they're a godsend.

We visited the water park (10mins drive), was great fun, lots of slides for kids and adults.

We also drove to the harbour and jumped on a water taxi across to Lobos island which has a population of 4! Here we visited a charming village with the most stunning sea and beach , and my son and wife hiked up to the volcano crater which took them about an hour in total.

Tips: You can walk up the volcano crater directly behind the hotel in about 15 mins up and 15 mins down. We did it with a 4 year old. But it can be windy up top. Lovely views .

The climate is interesting .. around 27-29 degrees, the sun is strong and will burn, but the constant breeze is really good. Some days though the wind can be strong 25-30mph and on others it's perfect 10-15mph.

We hope to return, thank you to all the staff for making our stay wonderful 😊!

This is a beautiful and peaceful resort. Couldn't have asked for anything better. The villa was amazing, had everything you could possibly want . Every second day the cleaners came in and the pool was cleaned too . All the staff were very friendly the cleaners , groundsman, the pool cleaner, the restaurant staff and reception staff and couldn't forget the security guy . The grounds are kept immaculate. So peaceful you could hear a pin drop . Would definitely return. You do have to get a taxi into centre . There is a Lidl and a supermarket within 5 mins walk . But id your looking for a really chilled out holiday this is amazing .

We stayed here with our extended family for 1 week. We had 3 villas which we had asked to be close together and the resort accommodated us by having 2 next door to each other and the 3rd just across the road. Thank you so much for that. From we first arrived everything was first class and we were very well looked after. They have thought of everything you might need. Accommodation Was beautiful, well presented and very clean and the pool was a god send in the heat. The proximity to 2 large supermarkets is also very useful. The complex is a bit out of the town but taxis are very easy to get and cost about €7 into the town. We had a lovely family holiday and would recommend to anyone.
