Villa with "heated pool" and 300 megabyte Wifi - 100 metres from beach

Glad to hear that you had a great time and really liked the villa and would love to see you return.

I take your point about the terrace, you are correct, the walls are not high and it is not a suitable area for small children. Just to let people know, there is a locked gate at the bottom of the steps, to prevent children from accessing it.

There is also a fence and locked gate near the steps, also to prevent small children access. This fence doubles up as to prevent access to the pool also.

Disappointed to hear that you were less than impressed with the villa. I try to keep it as up to date as possible. The villa was completely repainted on the outside less than a year ago. The inside was repainted just before Christmas 2017 shortly before you arrived. The pool heating system was replaced a year ago, the indoor water heaters and washing machine were replaced within the last year. New barbeque 6 months ago.

There is continuous maintenance carried out on the villa.

My wife and I stayed there before Christmas and ordered new linen and towels, cutlery, crockery and glasses, new couch covers, cushions etc. which would have been in place before you arrived.

We actually ordered a new bed for the main room, I never had any trouble sleeping on the mattress, and the only issue with the bed was that, for some reason, it was shorter than a regular bed, so we decided to replace it. Unfortunately, as this was only ordered a couple of weeks before your stay, it wasn't delivered until after you had left.

Regarding the TV channels, you won't get the same as what you have at home, however, we now have 300 megabyte broadband (exceptionally fast, 3 times faster than what I have at home myself) and I will have a streaming device linked to the TV so you can log on to your Netflix/Amazon/Now account, if you have one. Will look into getting more channels.

Apologies for the pool being dirty on arrival, it is cleaned every week (sometimes twice) and this shouldn't have been the case for you, no excuse there.

The pool isn't very large, it's about the same size as most pools in the area but the big plus for my pool is that it is heated during the winter (there is no need for heating during the summer). Yes, other villas have larger pools, but usually the larger pools are not heated. If they are both large and heated then you will certainly be paying a premium.

So, overall, I am very disappointed to see that you rated my villa as only 3 stars. It might not have been perfect for you but I hope this won’t put off prospective guests as nearly all my reviews are either 5 or 4 star.

Thanks Lynn for your kind comments. I am considering air con as it happens. Fuerteventura has experienced heatwave weather during October with temperatures reaching 40 degrees with no wind.

There is almost always a cooling breezing on Fuerteventura which keep the villa reasonably cool at night, that said, I do take your point about air con and will look into it.
