Can't beat it!

What more can a family ask for in a villa. We took our son of 1½ & both sets of grandparents and could not have asked for a more perfect setting for our first family holiday. A major selling point for us was the lack of stairs, it meant our son could run about inside and out with no problems. Now saying the villa and grounds are spacious just doesn't cover it, there is tons of room by the pool, where you can either lie in the sun or in the shade under the palm trees (we wish we were there just now instead of rainy Scotland), there is table tennis, a large grass area and a car park space. The outside area also boasts a shower, toilet, 2 seating areas, fridge and a BBQ. Having an outside toilet and shower was great as it meant we were not walking through the villa leaving wet footprints, the fridge was great for drinks and the option of 2 sitting areas was a bonus as one was normally in the shade. The villa, pool and garden areas were very clean and as we had opted out of having the aircon on the owners had supplied fans in each room which was a life saver near the end of our holiday when the temperature rose. There was also the option of a cot and highchair which was really helpful for us. The villa is in a quiet location and extremely secure, we found this to be a bonus when our son went to bed and we were able to sit outside knowing he was safe. It is only a 10 minute walk to Arenal beach, with a selection of shops and bars on route. The beach is lovely and the promenade is great to walk along day and night with loads of restaurants to choose from. If you leave the villa and walk a few mins in the other direction you reach several supermarkets where there is a huge selection on offer. Sharon was great and helped us so much by organising the transfer to and from the villa, I can only imagine the stress if we had tried to do this ourselves. We were also lucky to be there when it was the fiestas of San Juan and was able to watch the amazing fireworks display from the villa. Finding another villa that offers so much will be extremely difficult and I believe it has spoilt us for future holidays. Thank you so much Sharon and Adrian, you made a holiday villa and home away from home.
