Our spacious accommodations were absolutely perfect for our large family. We were delighted by the convenience of the pool and how close we were to all the exciting attractions in the area. It truly made our vacation a memorable experience!
Not only is this place budget-friendly and spotless, but it also offers a themed rooms and game rooms. What's more, its convenient location provides effortless access to various nearby amenities, adding even more value to the overall experience.
Experience a beautiful setting and a comfortable home away from home.We had a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, exactly as represented in the images. Will reserve it again in New year for sure.
If you're looking for a home that can comfortably accommodate large families, this is the perfect choice. With its spacious layout and ample games, there's never a shortage of entertainment options. Plus, its prime location just minutes away from everything makes it an ideal base for all your adventures. Don't just take my word for it - everyone who stayed here absolutely loved it and had an incredible time.
Nicely updated, spacious home. Conveniently located to dining. About a 15min drive to everything. Would definitely book again and have already recommended to friends.
We couldn't have asked for a better location than this place. It was conveniently situated just minutes away from our family's place and within easy reach of all the parks. The property manager was exceptional in terms of communication, going above and beyond to help me retrieve the items I had left behind. With such wonderful experiences, we are definitely looking forward to staying here again the next time we're in town.
We booked this Villatel property thinking it was too good to be true. We had a total of 15 people and this house was more than enough room. We had a total of 6 kids under the age of 12 and they all never complained of being "bored". They always had something to do and were absolutely amazed by this property. They all walked in, looked around, and started yelling that this would be the best vacation ever. They had nightly movie nights, and swim parties, and were so enthralled with everything they left the adults alone, which was a huge plus! The pictures didn't do this property justice, and the only thing that was better than the house was the customer service. When we had a question or concern Villatel was there to fix or help with all our issues FAST. It was an absolutely amazing vacation that I know my children will talk about for the rest of their lives. If you have any doubts, please dont...Villatel is the real deal and we will absolutely look to them first on all our future vacations!
