Villas del Lago

This is our 30th year visiting Cala n Bosch. We’ve always rented a villa just outside the main area as we were a family with children. This time it was just my husband & I so we opted to stay on the marina. What an absolute gem these bungalows are. You initially check in at the main reception for the hotel. They then issue you with a wrist band that provides access to the locked gates & the door to your bungalow which is a short walk away. Great size bedrooms with really comfy beds. First class aircon. Spotlessly clean. Housekeeping came round every day. Towels changed & pool towels provided. I agree for self catering the kitchen space is basic at best yet one lovely family we met managed to do a full cooked breakfast every morning!! The bathroom is great. A really powerful shower, excellent hairdryer & really good quality toiletries. Superb pool & surrounding area. The pool does slope quite steeply & would perhaps benefit from a hand rail. Really comfortable sun beds…a few with parasols. There wasn’t a day when we couldn’t get a sun bed. We met the loveliest people ranging from young families to a mum (80) & her son. It caters for all ages. It is perfectly situated to go out walking & exploring or to stroll around the marina & visit the numerous restaurants & bars. Would we return? 100% we would.

We’ve just spent a very relaxing six night break in one of these wonderful villas. May is the start of the season in Cala’n Bosch so they were clean and in excellent order. There are four villas in total that overlook Cala’n Bosch marina, one 4 bedroom and three 3 bedroom. We were in Villa 3, a three bedroom. They are built over a row of restaurants, but as we were there for the first week of the season, they were the only restaurants not yet open so there wasn’t issue with noise, but I could see it may be a problem later through the year. The large terrace overlooking the marina is equipped with patio furniture, sofa, coffee table etc and a large dining table and chairs. There is also an electric awning over the dining area. Off the terrace are two pairs of patio doors, one into the lounge and on to the master bedroom. The lounge diner is quite large, although there is only one sofa and an easy chair. There’s also a small dining table. There is a TV, but only one English Channel, Sky News. There’s a well equipped kitchen with full size fridge freezer, oven and induction hob along with kettle, coffee machine and toaster, not a great selection of pots and pans though. Bedrooms are a decent size with plenty of storage and a free to use safe in the master bedroom. The master has a king size bed, two singles in the second and bunks in the third. There are two shower rooms/WC’s. The en-suite has a very restrictive column next to the loo! All rooms have individual remote control air condition/heater units. Patio doors lead from the kitchen area to the large, very private pool area with four sun loungers, a Balinese bed and two large parasols. The pool was clean, around 14’x8’ and from 2’6” to 4’6” deep. It’s not heated, but we were there from 2nd May and it was quite comfortable after the initial shock! There is a maid service, she called daily to see if we needed anything. There are bath and pool towels provided for six people, as there were only two of us, we didn’t need any extra or changing. There is a private gated car park behind the Villas thar are charged at €10 per day. Highly recommended.

These bungalows are fabulous. Spotlessly clean and in a great location. Comfy beds, very powerful shower, and a spacious outside terrace with sofas and a table and chairs. I have 2 negative comments. Firstly there were only 19 sunbeds round the pool. Nowhere near enough considering there are 12 bungalows, each sleeping up to 4 people. Beds were being reserved as early as 6.30am and on one occasion there were 13 beds reserved at 7am, only leaving 6 beds for anyone else. I did mention this to reception on check out. Secondly there was no plug in the kitchen sink and for a resort so eco friendly I was surprised at this. I mentioned it to housekeeping on my first day and I saw the girl mention it to a supervisor but I left after 10 days and still no plug...therefore i was washing up with a running tap wasting huge amounts of water during my stay. Would I stay here again...not sure as the sunbed situation was horrendous.
