Fabulous Villa on Golf Resort, Private Pool.
This is a perfectly positioned semi-detached Isla Grosa Villa only a 1 minute walk away from the 5 * resort centre, amenities and supermarket. This beautiful villa which is on the 5 Star Mar Menor Golf Resort has one double and one twin bedroom with sofa bed in the lounge. We also have 2 travel cots and all rooms have air conditioning plus a spacious kitchen with all facilities including dishwasher and washing machine. South facing garden and sun terrace with tiled patio surrounding a private 6x3 pool. This area has a 6 seater table and chairs, 4 sun loungers and a BBQ is also provided. Mar Menor is a secure gated complex with a 5*Intercontinental hotel. The Resort itself includes a supermarket, communal pool with El Olivio cafe/restaurant. There is the Italian restaurant Fontana, the Nomad and the new Japanese restaurant in the Hotel and the Clover Irish bar which also sells food. Children's entertainment is provided during summer months. The Resort also houses floodlit tennis and padel courts. On El Boulevard (10/15minutes walk) there is a bank, estate agents, bars and several eateries including Triana and the Alabama Restaurant,Bombay Dreams, Route 66, The Dream, Shamrock Bar and Flavour 2. There is a taxi rank outside of the Hotel and a trip into Los Alcazares costs in the region of 12 Euros each way. This local town (2/3miles) has a 4 mile beach surrounded by traditional Spanish cuisine as well a few international bars and restaurants. The 1st tee for Mar menor is situated 1 minute from the villa adjacent to the driving range and practice facilities. A green fee is great value at circa âŹ50 and is part of a 6 course network all accessible by car (20-30mins). All courses were designed by golfing great Jack Nicklaus
We encountered one or two minor issues at the villa - largely outside of the owners control - but the communication and efforts to rectify were excellent.
There were lots of issues. Mostly stuff that could be fixed with a little TLC. For example, sticky drink marks all over the outside table, missing light bulbs, filthy windows, damaged service hatches, torn fly screens (therefore useless), dirty footprints around the pool, green slime in the pool shower tray, paint peeling off the woodwork around the front entrance, terrible varnish/paint job on the front door, paint hanging off the shower ceiling and a rusty damaged light fitting over the mirror. The solarium looks like it has never been cleaned and has a bird skeleton laying in the floor.
We also had to put up with a major garden renovation in one of the adjacent villas. From 8am till 6pm every single day, except Sunday, we had to put up with loud sawing, hammering and cement mixing. There were clouds of building dust landing in the pool and several times various builders appeared inside the garden to carry out their work. There was a hole in the fence so no privacy. As the property manager lived only minutes they must have been aware of this but no warning.
We were also promised a small welcome pack as we arrived late in the evening. This was not there so my 83 year old mum and I had no water or food till the next day.
I emailed the owner with photographs of all the issues but a week later I have not had the courtesy of a reply let alone an apology.
The property has everything you need for your holiday although the dishwasher wasnt working. Paul tried to rectify this whilst we were there but not able to. Beds were good but a little firm for us, but this is a matter of taste. Furniture inside and out was a bit tied, but still comfortable. Location of villa was perfect for us and nice and quiet. Pool was clean, well maintained. Sun on pool and outside area all day which was lovely.
Teri the property manager is a little god send always on hand to help. Paulâs communication from start to finish was great. The Villa is a fab little find and despite leaving our driving license in the UK đ, there was everything we needed within walking distance. The spar shop does have virtually everything and we thought the Italian restaurant on the resort was a must try. Loved our stay so much we even looked up prices of villas in the area. Iâm sure we will be back.
When we arrived Villa was average cleaned. We were ok roll all electric went off first night emergency contact number supplied was incorrect had to cope till next day when emailed owner, w eventually some one came and got power back to sockets only, and said would return to sort lights, but no one came all the week we was there so had no lights all week
A very enjoyable stay offering good value for money. The villa is well located in the resort Close to hotel, clubhouse and golf facilities. Would happily stay again !
