A minor blip to start....but we loved it!
We arrived on a Sunday and were disappointed on arrival as the pump to the pool had broken on the Friday so we were greeted with a green pool and as a further blow the hot tub wasn't working either! However, after messaging Daisy, she understood our disappointment and arranged for us to spend the day at a beach club so the children could swim.
Daisy gave us the details of Pablo, who dealt with maintenance and the pool was fixed by Wednesday and the outdoor electrics were looked at which also meant we were able to use the hot-tub.
I have read through the other reviews which are somewhat harsh and some of the problems were outside Daisy's control due to previous guests not respecting her property.
The lighting outdoors didn't work - we purchased light bulbs and were reimbursed by Daisy.
Yes, the stools to the bar were a little dirty, we gave them a clean.
Yes, there was a small wasp nest, not Daisy's fault - we got rid of it.
Yes, the blind was broken in the living room – we fixed it.
Yes, there was no toaster – we purchased a new one and were reimbursed by Daisy.
Yes, the power tripped on occasion but you work around it and was something that we got used to as we have done before in Spain.
Yes, there were tiles missing from the pool. It didn’t feel uncomfortable under foot and was not something easily rectifiable by Daisy – our children took great delight in playing a game collecting the tiles during our break.
I disagree that the BBQ was ancient – we used this daily (yes, more BBQ utensils could be provided but we managed). The gas bottle ran out, we purchased a new one and were reimbursed by Daisy.
Yes, the front gate could do with looking at but it did lock and kept the property secure for the duration of our stay.
I agree that the dishwasher didn’t work – it needs sparkle and salt putting in it. It wasn't the end of the world (there were 9 in our party - 4 adults, 5 children) and we did the washing up between us.
Despite some of the initial issues these by no means ruined our holiday and once they were dealt with the villa was an absolute joy to stay in. The villa does need tidying up of which Daisy is aware. Daisy's home is lovely, the beds comfortable and it is ideally located close to the beach and bars and restaurants. Daisy was extremely easy to get hold of, as was Pablo and between the two of them sorted out any issues as soon as they could.
Would I go again – yes, would I recommend it, yes I would!!
