All in all we had a lovely holiday and would recommend this to other families
We stayed at Villa Esperanza in Playa de Muro for a family holiday with 10 of us altogether. The villa is huge and the rooms were big. We would recommend staying here as we had a fantastic holiday! The private pool is great and there are plenty of areas to sunbathe with sun loungers provided. Somebody came to clean the pool once during our stay. There’s also a lot of areas within the villa premises to sit back and relax including 3 terraces and the garden was maintained to a lovely standard with lemon, plum and other fruit trees. The BBQ was a great addition also. The villa was generally clean however quite outdated but this didn’t bother us too much, it was just a typical Spanish home. Some would say it could do with a revamp but we found it adequate for our needs. The kitchen had everything we needed with plenty of pots and pans and the gas oven wasn’t too difficult to use. On our stay the tap was very worn and was problematic turning on to the point it actually broke but they sent someone out within an hour to replace it. When we arrived a lot of the plates and glassware were quite dirty and needed washing before we could use them but we put this down to previous guests and it didn’t spoil our stay. We stayed the first week in May and it was lovely weather in the day however freezing at night!! Of course this wasn’t the fault of the villa, just the time of year and there were plenty of blankets provided. The villa is walking distance to the beach less than a 5 minute walk and there were plenty of small supermarkets nearby and a large supermarket 35 minute walking distance or a short bus journey away called Eroski city supermarket. There were also lots of places to eat out nearby. One issue we did have was the lack of flexibility with check in and check out times. To the point that because our departure flight was at 23:30 we ended up having to pay an extra night costing £174 to be able to stay the day as otherwise the check out was at 10am and we would have been wandering round all day. The villa wouldn’t let us even leave our luggage there for the day which we found quite unaccommodating. All in all we had a lovely holiday and would recommend this to other families with everything we’ve said kept in mind.
