Unit 1 Amarilla Golf Villas - stunning 3 bed apartment- large terrace - sea view

We had a great time a Villa 1, the villa was lovely, a high standard and had everything we needed. The 19th Hole was a great addition where we enjoyed lovely food and drinks. The villa is 10 mins to a range of bars and restaurants which was ideal for us. We would highly recommend staying here.

Large villa suitable for 4/6 people close to all amenities......easy check in and owner was on hand if you needed anything

This was our 2nd stay & every bit as lovely as the first so will hopefully be back again next year!

Overall this is a nice apartment with a bar/restaurant on site (can be a little noisy if you want complete peace & quiet). Master is a v good size & the bed was comfortable with en-suite Jacuzzi bath. Other two bedrooms are a little on the small side (with 2 single beds crammed in). Downstairs lounge and TV were OK (there is a set-top box which gets a lot of UK Channels inc Sky, BT Sport). However my main issues were the following: 1. There is NO AIR CON installed in the property. The ad says that there is from May-Sept. We met the owner one day and he said they had plans to install but I know that this will involve a lot of dusty, noisy work (in peak season?) so I suspect it is unlikely to happen. If you want to consider booking, e-mail them first to get 100% confirmation because you will need this post-April in Tenerife. 2. Pool - The ad (again) was misleading indicating 2 pools (one communal) and that both were heated. This was sadly not the case (I have since seen the ad only shows the communal). I tried to swim in the pool on the first day & it was freezing. When we met the owner, he assured me that the heating would be put on but the next day I saw the Maintenance Man and he said to me it was too expensive to put on during the off-season!! Anyway suffice to say that the pool is totally unusable until I suspect mid-May. 3. Cockroaches - We had 2 cockroaches (one inside the property by the front door and one in the master en-suite) during the week. I am not particularly phobic to cockroaches but some people will be very put off by this. All I can say is this is the first time I have stayed in an apartment in Tenerife (we have been going for the best part of 15 years) and have seen ANY pests. The one in the en-suite was obviously dying and must have eaten poison/been sprayed but the other was quite active. This leads me on to the last negative point. 4. General Finishes and Disrepair - From the ad photos everything looks wonderful but there are a number of poor/incomplete finishes in the apartment that struck me as strange (concrete pillars and ceilings on balcony unpainted, skirting boards unfinished, doors sticking) when you are marketing a property (at the top end price-wise). Also there is a basement area which is quite messy & probably the home for pests. I know the owners will be saying that the properties are new & they "are working hard" to improve but I have to be honest and true to what I saw/experienced so if you book you're aware.
