Great location & pool, villa needs updating
We stayed here for a week at the end of July.
The villa is in an excellent location on a quiet residential street about 10 minutes walk from the beautiful bay in Arenal de Castell.
Only 5 minutes walk to the really well equipped shop and pizzeria.
The pool is great and was kept really clean for us during our stay. It’s very deep so inflatables/ floaties are a good investment (local shop sells them).
The villa is a great size with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor (1 double, 1 twin) and another en-suite double upstairs on its own.
Other good things are the beds are comfy and the air con is very effective in the rooms. It got up to 42 degrees one day so very effective!
The villa though does require some maintenance- grout is missing from tiles around the pool, we had a toilet that kept dripping upstairs and the worst but was power that kept going off. I must have had to turn the power back on at the fuse box over 30 times.
It seems that the villa electrics are overloaded by the air con so every time you switch on anything over and above the air con, the whole lot goes off.
The TV is also not connected to WIFI so no good for watching anything like Netflix . Whilst not mentioned on the listing, I feel a villa of this price should have this facility, we did however make use of a laptop and an hdmi cable in the villa so the kids could chill a bit with a film. The villa was also under equipped - only 1 toilet roll, no washing up liquid, cloths (tea towels only), scant handwash
