Villa Mar Colina

Exceptional accommodation - one of the best apartments we have ever stayed in. View was sensational

The sliding door to the back bedroom was broken and did not lock. when discussed with management it was not completely or securely fixed. There were constant hot water shortages. Not all cycles on the washing machine worked. The single bedroom with the two single beds requires a mould review as the air conditioner needs a full mould clean as does the room. Most of the bedrooms had poor ventilation as did the ensuite bathroom. The unit was clean apart from the mould issue and had all the amenities needed. Cleaning was offered at day 5 and the staff were lovely and accommodating. The unit is older and is probably looking for a refresh. Shame there was no direct garage access. It is a steep site with 25 stairs only to access the unit 10. Not suitable for the elderly or disabled. Also, other guests took it upon themselves to park in front of garage doors blocking access.

Our apartment was one of the front ones, so we had an amazing view of the ocean, islands and coast. Easy downhill walk to town to get some dinner. The apartment itself was old and in need of a deep clean. The front door was rotting and very hard to open and close. The blinds are old and hard to raise up and down, and had mildew on them. There was lots of mildew on walls, doors around the apartment. The pool size and location was also disappointing, as the pictures online make it look pretty amazing. We couldn’t watch a movie at night as the internet kept cutting out. And the noise from locals revving their car engines at the lookout car park across from us was really off putting. Overall, having paid a good amount for this apartment, I was really disappointed. Even more disappointing was the fact that the management didn’t respond to my email and photos about the apartment.

Aircons didn’t work, rooms were mostly clean and tidy not overall friendly for 4x4 over all nice place

The unit was clean,the beds were comfortable, there was a bath available, the water pressure in the main bathroom was 'to be desired', though the shower water was hot. The main living area was expansive. BUT couldn't get free to air news on the TV, and management had to 'fix' streaming channel. Cooking/oven containers were sparse. The stove top was only ok for cooking. However, the view from the balcony made up for all the flaws mentioned. I'd stay there again, but would confirm with management the above.
