first time we have ever stayed in a villa and never again will we go into a hotel the kids even enjoyed alot more
the place was brillant the villa has everything you need it is in a nice area the only problem is you need to be very tired or have a lot to drink to sleep in the upstairs room as road noise is very loud but only had problem the one night when we had to much sun so had no drink.....
the main problem with this villa is it is operated by thomas cook the reps were not helpful at all if you ever stay here and you get a cab tell them the villa is next to sol lanzarote hotel else you will nevr find it. it is 5mins from airport the rep put us in a taxi and said driver would know where it is 2 and half hours later and stopping to ask police and other taxi drivers we made the driver take us back to airport after the taxi driver had an argument with rep we were at villa 5mins later the problem was down to again that the villa is in matagorda and not purteo do carmen which i will say is 100% nicer area very quiet and i think all reps think the taxi drivers should know every name of each villa and what area they were in which is impossible as lanzarote is mainly villas and these villa had no signs on cause we
had drove past them twice haha .
the other problem is that we were told on the last day we had to be out of villa by 10 and as our flight was not till 6 we had to store our luggage at sol lanzarote and had use of there facilities for the day when we arrived there this was not so the management has decided to put a stop to this he did take pitty on us with the children and allowed us but told the rep they had to make other arrangements in future, so please check this if you have a late flight. we will return to this villa as we wished we had booked for 2 weeks and there was so much more to do but next time we will hire a car for the whole week as you can do everything on the island with ease and not pay a fortue on thomas cook trips that again they gave us false information just so we did them with them.

First impressions of the Villa were very good; well laid out with every possible need catered for. This included dishwasher, oven etc. It is well located close to the airport and the beach. Overhead noise from planes and traffic can take a bit of getting use to. Unfortunately on the second night, while we were out for tea the villa was broken into. Alot of items were taken and we were moved to a different villa. The Villa at that time did not have alarms but some did. If we had been targeted by a burgular we would have given this vila a 10. We booked with Direct holidays and we will be booking with them again as the service we received from the holiday reps on their team was second to none.
