10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
We booked this Villatel property thinking it was too good to be true. We had a total of 15 people and this house was more than enough room. We had a total of 6 kids under the age of 12 and they all never complained of being "bored". They always had something to do and were absolutely amazed by this property. They all walked in, looked around, and started yelling that this would be the best vacation ever. They had nightly movie nights, and swim parties, and were so enthralled with everything they left the adults alone, which was a huge plus! The pictures didn't do this property justice, and the only thing that was better than the house was the customer service. When we had a question or concern Villatel was there to fix or help with all our issues FAST. It was an absolutely amazing vacation that I know my children will talk about for the rest of their lives. If you have any doubts, please dont...Villatel is the real deal and we will absolutely look to them first on all our future vacations!

If you're looking for a home that can comfortably accommodate large families, this is the perfect choice. With its spacious layout and ample games, there's never a shortage of entertainment options. Plus, its prime location just minutes away from everything makes it an ideal base for all your adventures. Don't just take my word for it - everyone who stayed here absolutely loved it and had an incredible time.
