9.6/10 Exceptional! (65 reviews)

Tuvimos una estancia increíble en Las Palmas! Las villas son amplias, frescas y llenas de luz natural, perfectas para relajarse. Éramos una familia de seis adultos y un niño, y el espacio fue ideal para que todos estuviéramos cómodos. El servicio de limpieza pasaba todos los días y mantenía todo impecable y bien equipado con lo que necesitábamos. La ubicación es preciosa — muy privada, tranquila y cerca del aeropuerto. Nos encantó escuchar el sonido del mar, nadar en la alberca incluso bajo la lluvia y disfrutar de las noches de películas en la sala. Los juegos de mesa también fueron un gran detalle para pasar el tiempo. Además, reservamos un masaje privado en la villa a través de One Element, ¡fue una experiencia increíble y súper cómoda! El restaurante en el lugar fue otro de los grandes momentos de nuestra estancia. El Chef Nelson y su equipo son unos verdaderos expertos — la presentación de los platillos fue hermosa, la comida súper fresca y deliciosísima. Toda la experiencia fue digna de 5 estrellas. El personal fue muy amable, atento y siempre al pendiente de nuestras necesidades. Es un lugar perfecto para familias o grupos que buscan comodidad, privacidad y excelente servicio. Sin duda queremos regresar — ¡altamente recomendado!
