Villa Yucca Mar

Things like paintwork beginning to peel and could do with a little TLC

Everything was fantastic

When we arrived in the villa we was surprised, it did not look much like its photos. The living room had different furniture and set up. Some things such as the pool table, table tennis table and pool were run down among a few other things. We had to ask for the pool to be cleaned several times, because there is building work going on behind. Even though there is a cover, dust and bits of polythene still got in. I asked when the filter was last cleaned, and the host did not know. The sides of the pool looked a bit dirty and slimy. I mentioned the ladder to the pool was a bit lose and needed fixing, but it was not fixed while we was there. The builders were loud too and sometimes over looked the garden, we sometimes found it hard to relax. Luckily, they don't work weekends. We also got woke up at 7am some days. There are patio doors to the pool, but the curtains are ripped in the main bedroom. When we arrived at the villa we found 2 dead cockroaches in the utility room and ants on the living room floor, luckily they mainly came out at night. The cleaners did not do a good job, because there was dust on the skirting boards, we found hairs on the floor and on my bedside cabinet and dead cockroach under the sofa, it was attracting the ants. We had to buy bug spray. No cleaning chemicals were left. You have to buy everything for cleaning and washing up. Only 4 dishwasher tablets were left and there was no plug in the kitchen sink. We kept asking for one but it never came. We had to use a pan to wash up out of. On arrival, one light did not work in one bedroom. there was no bedside cabinet in another and the power point did not work next to the bed and the sink was blocked up in the en suite. Luckily the host sent a handy man round the next day, and most things are rectified, although the villa should be inspected after it has been cleaned and fixed, then it would of made our holiday more relaxing.

There are a few niggles but nothing that detracted from the enjoyment of the holiday. The power supply at the property is quite weak so the cooker was very slow. The showers both have broken bits on them and the coffee machine is missing the glass jug. There is water dripping from the air con onto the light in the ping pong room. This may cause a problem. The water and air con was off for a day. Something tripped the switch to ‘hidrio’ and it turned the water supply off. I contacted the owner and had a very speedy reply which was excellent. I asked whether to flick the trip switch and the owner said yes which fixed the problem. It’s a lovely villa, but just needs a few minor niggles to be sorted out.
