Santa Barbara by Placida Mar

Everything about the bungalow was excellent, it was clean, comfortable and in a great position.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

great location for seeing my family who live opposite.

a little basic in crockery, could do with a few more items, eg: bowls for nibbles a better selection of glasses and maybe some storage boxes. Also the smaller bedroom needs a blind at the window, the light shines in all night.

location is great and outside space is nice

upon arriving the TV didn't work and the host had to come work it out for 20 mins, only German tv channels and a handful of Spanish ones. then AC didn't work, he comes says turn the power off for 1 hour after I told the error code means it needs gas, he says thats what the technician told him to do, next day he says I can bring a fan, then finally the tech comes and fixes it, puts gas, water boiler didn't work and made the power go off, ants everyday no mater how much I sprayed , small spiders everywhere that of course I killed. i expect to go somewhere and not see the host everyday for the first 4 days. the beds are uncomfortable, lastly I asked to stay 1 extra hour but he said no after all that he says no.. will not stay again here!

The bungalow is an end terrace which was nice - your not too close to the pool that you can hear everything. Lovely private garden and plenty of sun/shade areas with sun loungers and table/chairs. Inside was very clean (we also had a mid-holiday clean with fresh sheets, towels & TP). Everything you need in the kitchen to make a cooked meal. There's an iron and small ironing board if needed and also a hair dryer in the bathroom.

The couple of negatives would be the AC which didn't seem to be very cool (low of 16c) possible needs re-gassing but we found it was cool enough with the windows open. Also not really a negative but you may hear the fridge/freezer making a loud noise - just give the doors a good squeeze shut and it'll stop. Finally - the neighbours dog barks quite a lot, unfortunately there's not much you can about that.
