Great place for family and friends
We’ve just returned from a 10 night stay at Villa Mariana. There was 14 of us in total - 7 adults and 7 kids. The villa was huge - plenty of space for people to have their own time if needs be and the bonus of having 2 kitchens when cooking for 14 people was great.
The pool table was a god send. So when the kids were too hot and wanted to go indoors, they loved this. As did the competitive adults in the night time! We even managed to source another cue tip for one of the pool cues from a snooker club in Mojácar which made this even better.
The pool is fantastic. So well thought out and deceptively deep too but shallow enough spaces for the younger kids - including a little paddling pool section for very small children.
The pool toy box was an added bonus with some inflatables and toys already supplied.
The terrace eating area was fantastic to seat all of us and the barbecue was used on many occasions. The view from the roof terrace is stunning.
The location is great. Easy to access from the motorway. Close enough to walk into Turre if you fancied an evening out without driving. The water park Aquavera was about 15 mins drive away and was loved by all, As was the mini golf in Mojácar. Mojácar is about a 15 minute drive but has great supermarkets, fantastic beach bars and restaurants so this villa’s location is perfect. Although we didn’t feel the need to leave the villa that much as it had everything that we needed. The tennis court was used on the odd occasion by us but it was too hot but thank god for the air con in the bedrooms - another god send!
The only criticism I have - and it’s super small - is that it lacked a dishwasher. This would have made this place perfect. Washing and drying up for 14 people, 3 times a day, became a daily chore and created bickering but that’s to be expected with 14 people.
Marian was great - on hand to answer any questions and help us out whenever we needed. Couldn’t ask for a better host.
We had a great holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Just need to save up now!
