Inside was big and spacious, we had a lovely relaxing time. Situated in a pleasant area. Netflix on the tv a great bonus for the children!

Pool area a little small and shaded on times through the day, morning sun doesn’t reach the pool until midday.

The villa is even nicer than the photos suggest. It is on one of the very best Urbanisation's in Marbella (Antonio Banderas has a home in the same development). The space is large and well laid out, all the beds are comfy and every room has an en-suite. The local beach bar is very fancy and high end - however you can walk to the beach (which is of course free), and from there walk to other beach bars or restaurants (which we did). A particular highlight is the garden - it is absolutely stunning with beautiful planting and scents from the flowers. We stayed with our 3 children, and they enjoyed being able to jump into the pool when they woke up, and we enjoyed the privacy of the garden, but also the convenience of being a few minutes drive from everything (or a short walk to the beach).

The only negative I could think of is that there are no shops on the Urbanisation - despite the nearest supermarket being a couple minutes drive away, you will need a car to get to it. We had a rental car so this wasn't an issue - I would strongly recommend a hire car if staying here. We used the local beach but we also drove around to other beaches and into Marbella Old Town in the evenings - the alternative would be to use cabs. It is hard to list it as a negative since it isn't listed, but the only extra that would be nice is a BBQ. The kitchen is fully equipped however and we used it daily.
