“Lovely stay”

Can't really fault these apartments. Modern very clean. Air conditioning worked well as did a fan in the bedroom. Well equipped kitchen area and nice settee with tv and 4 english channels.

Can't really fault these apartments. Modern very clean. Air conditioning worked well as did a fan in the bedroom. Well equipped kitchen area and nice settee with tv and 4 english channels. Pool area was lovely and clean. We got a sunbed easily each time we went to the pool. Reception staff very helpful. It was about a 10 to 15 min walk to the main beach and a further 10 min to two even nicer beaches. It was about a 5 min walk to shops and main restaurant area. Although behind the complex and just 2 min away there was a square and one restaurant in that square was Pickled Palm, you have to book but the food was delicious. We would definitely come back to Villa Florida and would recommend it.

Stayed in a 1 bed superior apartment and emailed requesting an upper floor with a sunny terrace/balcony if available and was really fortunate to be allocated an upper floor with a large terrace and the added bonus of 2 sunbeds which got the all day. The facilities were great with a lovely kitchen area and integrated hob and large fridge freezer and a nice bathroom with walk in shower. The beds were really comfy and the air con was a godsend, don't know what channels were available on the TV as we never had it on. There always seemed to be sunbeds available whenever we went past and we never used the bar following previous reviews we had read which was a shame because if run by someone with the right attitude could be a goldmine. We did experience the rudeness of the owner and just laughed at him but I imagine older guests would be upset or offended. We stayed for 11 nights and ate out a few times but also made a few meals ourselves and enjoyed them on the terrace usually followed by listening to music and drinking beer. Location is great for supermarkets and we enjoyed lovely walks along the seafront every morning where we ended up at the Atlantica centre before walking back. Met some lovely people there, some who were repeat visitors. The reception staff were very helpful and the housekeepers were lovely and friendly, we would definitely stay here again.

“Lovely central place but lack of privacy on terraces”

PROS: location, friendly staff, heated pool, premium flats nice & clean, air con working well, good shower, cleaning done every other day with change of towels CONS: no privacy on terraces, only small number of sunlounges around pool & not all very comfortable, bar open on & off We're just back… more

PROS: location, friendly staff, heated pool, premium flats nice & clean, air con working well, good shower, cleaning done every other day with change of towels CONS: no privacy on terraces, only small number of sunlounges around pool & not all very comfortable, bar open on & off We're just back from a week at Villa Florida. We had a great time although we were very much disappointed in the flat we were given: in a corner, on the ground floor, sun morning only & with no privacy at all. Our terrace was in the middle of two other flats where basically you are all sitting together. We are not anti social at all but we enjoy just minding our own business without having to "share" with everyone. Our two neighbour flats were also heavy smokers and this really spoiled the morning coffees on the terrace (we can stand the smell later on but really not 1st thing in the morning). I went to reception and explained that the flat was great but the outdoor was very disappointing and was told to come back two days later as manager was off. Unfortunately still no other flats available two days later...I had emailed hotel twice to kindly ask for an upper/sunny terrace two months prior to our booking and then two weeks but unfortunately this did not happen... I am very much an outdoor person so I just ended up going for early morning walks and then swimming pool to enjoy the sun without the smell of cigarettes... so yes, we were some of the ones who queued to get a sunbed but we had our reasons..lol.. So perhaps something to keep in mind when you are booking if you are like us, wanting to enjoy your terrace with some privacy and not too close to everyone... I just thought I would add this here as no one mentioned this previously and for us it was a big disappointment and quite odd to be so close to our neighbours... Obviously we made the most of our holiday and reminded ourselves that our booking at VF was cheaper than our usual ones so really, you get what you pay for. Apart from the terrace issue (which seems to be on every ground floor flats) the place itself was great, we really enjoyed the long promenades, the proximity of the beach, bars, restaurants and shops. We also rented some electric scooters for a day and loved using them!
