Villa Columbus

"We went twice for the BBQ night - I had steak and then pork fillet, hubby had fish. All superbly cooked and very tasty, served with mediterranean veg and jacket potatoes. The service was superb and the setting on the terrace beside the fountain was wonderful. Definitely worth the walk up the hill."

"We have just returned from a stay here with our daughters as a post exam treat for our youngest! It was absolutely gorgeous and far exceeded our expectations. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely and the surroundings were quiet, picturesque and really peaceful. The location is excellent and the beaches are beautiful. We'll definitely be back!"

"Stayed here as a family wth two young children in the family room. Positives * Very well located, only 5 min walk into centre of resort, which has lots of shops and nice restaurants and a fantastic beach. Beach great for little ones as very shallow sea and soft sand. 20/25 min from airport. * Pool area is very well kept and tranquil, in a lovely setting. Some days we had the pool to ourselves and it was the school holidays! Negatives * Extremely basic room and very noisy. The family room was located directly above a road, which was not busy but had recycling bins and service entries to a few hotels. We were woken every morning at 6.30am by a constant stream of either bin men (who came every day), delivery lorries and coaches. This had an impact on our stay as we couldnt keep the kids up too late in the evening as they were woken up early each morning. Balcony also very unsafe for young children as not enclosed. Sheets not cleaned for the whole week stay - this was an extra charge. When paying nearly 200 euro a night, I would have expected clean sheets at least once during the stay. Also no pool towels provided, again an extra charge. * Not sure about the previous good reviews for the food. We are foodies and enojy local cuisine. We did not really enjoy the hotel food. There was a massive wasp problem and the breakfast buffet was covered in wasps crawling all over the food. Same limited choice every day, no fresh pastries and only melon as the fresh fruit. Coffee however was very nice. We often grabbed a fresh bakery item from one of the many bakeries in the town as we left breakfast hungry. We ate at the hotel in the evening twice. The first time was ok, although i ordered seafood pasta and got a pizza! The second (tapas night) was very slow service despite there being only two tables eating (took two hours) and the food was tasteless. Both meals were ruined by the amount of wasps. At one point we counted 20 wasps on our table when we were trying to eat. Overall, I suppose for a 2 star hotel ,the hotel is ok. It certainly has a charm about it and the pool area and surroundings were lovely. We will not however be staying again as it was far too basic and noisy for us."
