What can I say? Fantastic villa, absolutely perfect in every way, a true home from home, everything provided you could possibly need, including 2 bikes which my son and I used on numerous occasions to recce the local area looking for bars, restaurants, shops and beaches.
The Villa was spotless on arrival and a the welcome pack we asked for waiting for us, very usefull on a lat night flight in.
The Villa is well placed, being in a quiet residential area, but within 2 mins walk of a lovely panadaria/cafe bar, 2 mins more to another bar, and approx 15 mins walk to both the centre of San Pedro and the prom of Lo pagan.
The resort is very very Spanish, (thankfully), and although most will speak english, a little spanish is appreciated, and we found all to be very friendly and helpful.
Some nice bars and restaurants nearby, Casa Miguel on the front at Lo Pagan serve beautiful Tapas, Jose Antonio's heladaria (ice cream shop) is a great place to sit with an ice cream, (or a beer) and watch the world go by.
We found a lovely beach just through El Mojon, plenty of parking behind the beach, walk through the dunes, beautiful soft white sand.
Try Cartagena, beautiful port with big yachts, beautiful bulidings, nice shopping and eating, lots of history.
The square in San Pedro is well worth the 15 min walk, very spanish, a few bar/restaurants serving very nice food, with a great atmosphere.
The front at Lo Pagan, again another 15 min walk is a lovely wide prom right along the sea front, lined with bars and restaraunts , plus the soft golden sands of the Mar menor, and the very safe swimming on the other side.
The Villa is fantastic, no other word describes it better, 4 large double bedrooms all with air con, the two downstairs straight onto the large patio and swimming pool, which is a large one in comparison with some. allowing for all 4 of our group to enjoy it at the same time, ( i hope who follow us in appreciate the various lilos we left as much as we did).
The bulit in BBQ was used twice, and again is excellent, the design making it very easy to use, although if it gets dark it is hard to see what you are cooking!
The patio is large, much larger than it looks in the picture, so plenty of room to lay out on the loungers as well as taking in the shade on the TWO outside dining tables.
The upstairs terraces are also very large and we used the front ones on many occasions (just had to take up the chairs from the garage).
Will DEFFO be going back!!!!

Owner's Response: Well, what can I say! I couldn't have written better myself but again it's just good to know that Matt and his family enjoyed their holiday and got to know the area so well as it really does have a lot to offer for all tastes.
