My family have just enjoyed a great week at Villas Blancas (Villa 38) 4 bed Villa - really liked the gated complex and received a good service from the management company. Size and space of Villa was excellent, pool area was great and exactly what we wanted. Definitely needed a hire car but this suited us and gave my family the opportunity to get out and about. I would have given this review 5 stars but only minor criticism was there was only two sofas in the living area for a villa that sleeps 8 .. relaxing in the villa on a night was a bit tight but I do feel I’m being a picky with this criticism. Overall this Villa was great value for money and I wouldn’t hesitate in staying here again.

“No 23 Villas Blancas Playa Blanca”

We arrived at Villas Blancas in the second week of January, the villa at no 23 was very spacious and clean. The bathrooms were fairly modern and the bedrooms neat and tidy.

We arrived at Villas Blancas in the second week of January, the villa at no 23 was very spacious and clean. The bathrooms were fairly modern and the bedrooms neat and tidy. The lounge has very dated dark wooden furniture and the two two seater settees were far too small for what is supposed to be accomodation for 6+ people. For what is supposed to be a self catering villa the kitchen is a disaster, the oven is a joke, the fridge freezer needs replacing and the toaster and kettle are cheap, there are not enough cooking utensils ie wooden spoon whisk etc. The washing machine was patched up and an outside airier should be provided to dry and air the towels. The pool was ok but the garden could look a lot better and the garden furniture could be improved, if the owners actually spent two or three thousand more euros on this property it could be amazing.

“Below expectations for money paid.”

We booked via Jet2 after previous visit in 2019. This time we were allocated villa 47. We arrived around 3pm after landing at 11.30am (visiting Play Blanca to kill time whilst awaiting our villa).

We booked via Jet2 after previous visit in 2019. This time we were allocated villa 47. We arrived around 3pm after landing at 11.30am (visiting Play Blanca to kill time whilst awaiting our villa). On arrival we were greeted by the local Basil Fawlty who took the pleasure in advising us we could not yet check in unless we paid him 40 euros in cash! I asked him if the villa wasn’t yet ready but he said it was. Has I was not prepared to hand over the cash for the sake of an hour we decided to get back in the hire car and return. It appeared that this money would be going straight in to his back pocket. We feel this is ridiculous as on checkout day you have to be out by 10am so you really lose a day! We returned later to find the villa clean and acceptable. However this villa was tired and in need of maintenance! The little things such as lights not working over the terrace area, lack of kitchen utensils and work area. Fridge door not opening fully due to being too close to the door, patio door not sliding open, leaking pool, leaking toilet, leaking shower door over bath, no wardrobes in 2 rooms and overall extremely rude maintenance man (our Basil (well that’s what we called him). Then on top of this expensive perfume of my wife’s broken during cleaning of villa, cleaner contacted Basil who cane to inform us but of course no apology from him! However we still had a great holiday and the villa was adequate (but over priced for what we paid - there are better deals out there!) location is good and lovely and quiet but you do need a car. When booked we were advised 4 bedrooms with 1 upstairs but this was not the case so disappointed as our previous stay at number 28 4 years before was far superior. Would return to Playa Blanca but unlikely to use this complex again after this visit.
