Villa Mil Palmeras

Location - ten minutes walk to the beach, well stocked supermarket and local restaurants. There was also a large evening market about a 5 minute walk away. The villa is really nicely done. It's a real home from home. Some lovely touches like toiletries in all the bathrooms, reed diffusers, lovely paintings, throws and cushions. Quality furniture in all the rooms. Beds were also comfortable. Kitchen cleaning items (washing up liquid, dishwashing tablets etc) also provided. The aircon was amazing and pumped throughout the villa. VERY effective in the heatwave we were in the middle of. The aircon was even in the halls, landings, bathrooms as well as all the bedrooms, the living areas and the kitchen. The aircon had various controls throughout the house. Lovely outside areas with various seating areas. Storage - SO much storage everywhere! Master Bedroom Suite - absolute luxury. Very very lovely. The dressing room area was fantastic. The property is gated (electric gate to the drive) with an underground garage (where the washing machine is located) and the property also has an alarm and shutters, so it felt very safe. Another nice touch was that there were two large fold out airers (with pegs!) for hanging washing and beach towels.

I would love to have given the villa top marks as it really is a special villa. However, on day one I asked about the lack of sun beds as there were only two supplied. Was advised that only two were provided. For a four bedroomed villa, I think this is insufficient. Also, on day one, one of the sun beds split (the sun had degraded both). I advised the host that day and was hoping that new sun beds would be provided but unfortunately it didn't happen. The other sun bed split later in the week too. Thankfully I did receive my deposit back. The freezer didn't get very cold. Not cold enough to make ice cubes, but cold enough to keep ready made ice cubes frozen. Weird! They could also do with a few more items in the kitchen such as a vegetable knife and small bowls (like cereal bowls).
