Villas Puerto Rubicon

Just back from a perfect week. Villa was lovely, we had a 3 bed and was more than enough for us as a family of 4. Pool was great to cool down. Don't leave any food out anywhere tho as little bugs just appeared out of nowhere. We stored everything in the fridge. Location was within 5 min walk of the marina. We got a taxi into Playa Blanca a few times then walked back along the sea front. Playa Dorana beach is about a 10/15 min walk, only beach with sunbeds etc Ate at the restaurants in the marina in the evenings, lovely setting but book a table if you want to sit after about 7.30, they got busy!! Cocktails and ice creams at Lani's were delicious

Just returned from Villa 224 and wanted to write an honest review. We arrived around 9pm and used the lock box to access the villa..we were amazed at how big the villa was - yes it is a tiny bit dated but still perfect for what you need and very spacious. Villa 224 is a Large villa, fantastic outside space with the sun from morning to night. Very secure and secluded, also very quiet. Tip: use the white door as your main door to the villa, much easier to open. Living area was large, tv - we could only find sky news or BBC news in English but not on holiday to watch tv. Roof fan was great. Open patio doors onto pool area, was great in the morning opening the curtains. Well equipped kitchen, dishwasher with tablets provided, full cooker, large fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle. Cleaning spray, cloth, bug spray and washing up liquid provided. The washing machine is out the back door under cover - unfortunately we had no washing product supplied so we had to buy some from hyperdino (left 1/2 box for next person). Welcome pack consitsted of UHT milk, carton of juice, pack of biscuits and a few tea bags/coffee sachet. Small WC/shower downstairs which is good. Upstairs 2 large bedrooms - both ensuite with bath and over bath showers. Main room has a balcony with amazing views, watching the sunrise with breakfast or sunset with dinner was amazing! Beds are ok - not the best but also not the worst. Very light and airy villa. Outside area was adequate, 2 longers and a small table/chairs..the pool was ok size however, it was very, very cold and dirty..a lot of dirt/sand at the bottom when we arrived that got worse over our stay - no one came to clean it and we done our best with the net to clean it. Location of the villa is a few min walk from hyperdino and marina. Marina has a few shops and restaurants. The lasal shops are around 5min walk away with the main shops being around 30min fast walk along promenade (we were doing 15k steps a day). The area is quiet which makes for a relaxing holiday. our only downside was no washing products, and no cleaners which meant no clean towels (we had to wash the two provided and dry them) and no toilet paper which we had to buy. We did noticed on arrival the floor could of been cleaner (stairs dusty, dirty shower heads) We didn't have cleaners the whole time we were there which I felt was a bit of a let down, I don't go on holiday to clean toilets/towels or buy cleaning products. The only time we seen cleaners was on leaving (to be out be 10am on day of departure) the cleaners were sat outside from 09.30am which made us feel pressured to leave earlier. There is a courtesy room available for day you are leaving (it's down near the marina). All in all we did have a good holiday and may return in future. Our one big issue was ants..thousands, upon thousands! The kitchen was covered with ants all the time, very small ants - no matter how many times i cleaned the surfaces there would be another 100 in seconds

Second time staying at these villas, the location is excellent, so close to the marina, a supermarket is a 5min walk away and Dorada beach within walking distance. We stayed in a 3 bed this time, villa 211. It has everything you need, its not modern but everything is clean and working. We did have issues with ants in the kitchen, which maintenance came and sprayed but they kept coming back (it was very warm which could be a factor) so we bought our own ant killer and just kept spraying everywhere and keeping the kitchen spotless with no food lying around. A few things which brought it down - a two slice toaster for a villa which sleeps 6, one plug for the microwave, toaster and kettle so you can't use more than one at a time. thankfully we learned this from our last stay so we brought an extension lead with 4 sockets (life saver when trying to make breakfast for everyone!) The dials are totally worn off the oven, so its just trial and error, we couldn't get the grill on at all, so gave up with that. No instructions for the dishwasher so again, just closed the door and hoped for the best! They provide washing up liquid, scourer, some dishwasher tablets, UHT milk and a fruit juice. We brought our own clothes washing tabs, tea bags, coffee etc. We had a tiny utility section off the kitchen with two small washing lines which would only take a few items so I asked at reception if they had a clothes airer, within a few hours, they handed us a brand new airer still in the packaging which helped massively with 5 peoples washing, so thank you! All said we would still return again to these villas!
