We have been to La Manga many times, El Rancho is probably the best of the areas to stay, the location of the villa to the pool was fabulous even allowing my daughter to use the wifi by the pool! The Villa was so well equipped, a lot of thought has gone into the comfort of the guests will definitely come again. Thank you Alex.

OLD, DATED, BADLY MANAGED AND NOT AS DESCRIBED.
Firstly, the villa is in a great location and in a beautiful Golf resort. IT ENDS THERE! Whatever I’m about to say, the owner will retaliate no doubt, as I tried to sort this out with her personally and did not want to leave a bad review. However, our holiday was ruined. On the day of arrival, she messaged me saying I had not filled out a booking form or paid the final amount. I informed her I had never received a booking form, nor a final payment reminder. She said that other customers had also complained that booking forms never attached properly to her emails. So I paid the final amount and told her how many adults and children would be staying. When we arrived at 4pm, there were steep narrow stairs leading down to two bedrooms. One bedroom had a queen bed, the other had two small single beds. There was no made up bed for our 3rd child, fair enough as it was a sofa bed, but no bed linen in sight. I had to phone a number I found in a book in the kitchen, and ask a lady where the bedding was. It turned out to be underneath the queen bed. We had to lift this bed up and rummage through lots of haphazard bedding. Then I made the sofa up as a bed and as I did, crumbs fell out all over the floor. I could only find a flat sheet and a single duvet so nothing fitted the dirty sofa and when my son slept on it there were uncomfortable gaps where it doesn’t fold out properly. Disgraceful. The bathrooms are old, dated and dirty with cracked tiles. I hope I can attach photos!

Winter Sun
As we were older visitors we found that the villa had too many curved stairs and we had difficulty keeping the villa warm. The north facing balcony wasn’t in the sun but the upper terrace did provide some seating area. However this was February/ March. The upgrades to the villa that have been completed were very good.

What a beautiful, quirky accommodation set in a secure, safe and friendly resort. Everything was as described and easy access to shops and restaurants. Air conditioning in the accommodation with most tv channels and apps. Lots of sport if needed plus the amazing 3 golf courses on site. Great views and easy routes to beach and walking routes. Loved every day.

Fantastic Villa in a great location
This was a lovely comfortable modern Villa in a perfect location, both in terms of location within the development and proximity to pool (few feet away) but also an easy stroll across to the restaurants and bars. The Villa owner was very proactive in all comms. We had a great 3 weeks and felt very at home overall an excellent stay.

We have just arrived home from a beautiful stay in this property. Everything we needed there we had. We went with a 7 year old a 2 year old and both catered for really well in la manga and in the property. Great location to the pool with a short walk to restaurants we really did have the best time! Alex is also super helpful and very responsive! Thank you!!

Wonderful house in a great location
The villa is extremely well equipped especially the kitchen. The Nespresso coffee machine is a great addition. Plenty of plates, glasses etc. It even had graters, a lemon squeezer and tongs for the BBQ.it also had a pop up tent and parasol for the beach, The location is great, just 20 meters from the pool. We had a couple of queries and the host replied very quickly and was extremely helpful. It was very clean on arrival. Overall an excellent choice. We will definitely come here again !

Perfect villa for our family holiday
This villa was absolutely perfect for our first trip abroad with our baby. Alex’s communication was really helpful prior to our trip and the baby items she left in the villa for us to use we’re better than we could have imagined. The villa itself is clean, the kitchen has everything you could need and eating all our meals out on the balcony was a real treat. The area around the villa is so well kept with beautiful gardens and a communal pool so close. Outside of La Manga Club we particularly enjoyed the snorkelling sites around Cabo De Palos and a historical tour of Cartagena. We would highly recommend staying at this villa.

Nice Location
The property is located within a well maintained complex with great views and access to several swimming pools, golf course and tennis courts. There is a small shopping village within the complex with a supermarket, restaurants and bars. There is a beautiful cove around 2 km away which is not busy however best accessed by car. Main beach is further away. The property was well equipped. The 2 bedrooms are medium sized and there are two bathrooms, one of them on-suite. The shower and bidet in the on-suite bathroom were not working neither was one of the light switches. We had a lovely and relaxing time at this villa.
