Casa Helena - July 2008
Review Submitted: August 5, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
As a family, we had spent many years visiting Mojacar in the summer and, after an absence of 3 years, we wanted to find a suitable base for re-aquainting ourselves with the area. The road network had improved significntly in that time and we were surprised, but delighted to find that it was only an 8 minute drive from our villa to Mojacar Playa.
The villa itself (Casa Helena) was exactly as described, with 2 reasonably sized bedrooms, small kitchen & shower room and a balcony overlooking the beautifully kept pool - ideal fo the kids! We had pretty well everything we needed - (including a flatscren TV!) though it would have been nice to have air-conditioning in every room (not just the lounge) and included in the price. The friendly owners live on site and were available at all times to help and advise - very useful. A great holiday!

Owner's Response: Many thanks again for what was on the whole a positive review.
In answer to our air conditioning policy:-
1. We do state in all of our advertising that air conditioning is extra.
2. Any one who knows how the electricty works in Spain is aware that you buy Kw potentia and we are already at the maximum, meaning that even if we wanted to install extra units in the bedrooms our supply is unable to do so.
3. We reduced our base prices in high season by £100 from the 2007 season and made it fairer for everyone that the air con is metered, leaving it to the individual as to how much they use and untimately pay, as our past experiences meant that the air con units were left running all the time, which in unecessary with modern efficient units, which are powerful enough to cool the whole villa in a short time.
