We stayed here as a group of 6 and had a fantastic holiday. The villa is situated on the outskirts of Playa Blanca - we hired a car and would recommend doing so ( We used AutoReisen) You can walk to both the marina and the town but it takes approx 25-30 minutes and it is hot! Taxis are readily available and reasonably priced.
The villa itself is great and the outside space in particular is perfect. The pool is lovely and there is a nice area to sit in the shade and relax. Everything was immaculately clean and the owner even provided beach towels. We had a mid stay clean from Gemma and her team and the pool was also cleaned by Stuart - all really friendly people. The villa has everything you could ask for - our only issue was there is only air conditioning in the lounge so the bedrooms were extremely hot despite having fans. If you are arriving late at night as we did it might be worth asking for a small welcome pack as we had to try and find water which could be a problem if you don’t know the area or have a car.
Playa Blanca is a lovely place and you are spoilt for choice for places to eat. We would definitely return to the area and recommend this villa. Thank you for a lovely stay Claire 😀

The Villa is very nice and spacious. The garden is really lovely, good size pool with plenty of space to sit. The kitchen was well stocked, with a slow cooker that was handy.
The air con cooled the Villa down quickly when needed. I think you would need a car though as quite a walk to the shops & front.

The villa is well equipped, with everything you need. The pool is lovely and the location is peaceful. The villa is situated within easy walking distance of bars and restaurants. Taxis are available in the resort for the return journey but the queues were very long so we opted to walk both ways.
The marina is very pretty with fantastic restaurants. Overall a fantastic holiday

Beautiful villa. Quiet location but close enough to town to be easy. The villa had everything we needed and more. Lovely pool and outside space. Very spacious, comfortable and clean. We absolutely recommend. The photos do not do it justice.
The host was very helpful.
5.0
We had a lovely holiday at this villa. Comfortable and spotless throughout. We were also pleasantly surprised at the amount of outside space. Although we always hire a car the villa is actually not too far a walk into Playa Blanca town. We'd have no hesitation in recommending this villa and we'd certainly consider booking it again in future.
5.0
Lovely villa in a quiet location. Car is recommended as its fairly set back and bit of a walk to the supermarket. I don't mind that, we always get a car anyway. If you are into cooking the odd lunch then you may find the kitchen quite limited and the dish washer is in another room. Apart from that, nice place. Host and local rep very good.

Would def recommend and we would def return comfortable rooms spacious to for 4 adults and two children lovely outside area . Helpful quick reponse to any issues.

The villa has been refurbished outside and is an amazing modern space to relax next to the pool.
The villa is extremely spacious and well equipped. 3 bathrooms is an absolute treat as we were staying as a couple with our 19 year old so we had a bathroom each!
The only negative we have is that the villa is not in a central location. It’s in a lovely estate but right at the edge of the town so you need to drive everywhere. However we knew this when we booked so it’s just a personal choice if you want to drive or not. We didn’t get taxis but they are obviously available.
Overall it was a lovely villa and the owner was extremely helpful and a pleasure to rent from.
I would definitely recommend staying here.
5.0
We had a great stay in the villa. Communication with Claire was always really quick and she was very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had.
The villa is clean and well looked after the photos don’t in my opinion show how much outside space there really is there was a lovely large covered patio area which was very much needed during the high temperatures on the island.
The walk into the main centre for us was our only downside but that is just personal opinion the description is very clear in how long the walk is however with such high temperatures it felt much longer for us! We chose not to hire a car but we did make use of the electric scooters which are dotted around the island and fortunately one of the designated parking place for them is opposite the villa.
I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a comfortable stay on the island a great base to explore from.
Thank you Claire

Our family had a wonderful time and did not want to leave. Owner was amazing with all details and instructions and people at the villa very organized and professional! They even remembered our celebration and left a bottle of champagne which was so lovely. Attention to detail was second to none. We had everything we needed during our stay and the space around the villa was amazing! The pool was used everyday by us all and as we had it heated the kids were in it all hours! It was also kept very clean by the pool man, well done. Any problems we had were answered straight away and solved without hesitation. We would book again in a heartbeat thankyou so much once again.

The Villa is in a very nice peaceful location and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Some of the decor is a little tired and garden furniture has seen better days, however overall the facilities were fine for our requirements.
5.0
The Villa exceeded expectations, cleanliness is a huge thing for me when staying in villas and villa margarita was spotless, communication was excellent and nothing was a problem when I got in touch. The pool was perfect to cool down in as the temperature was very hot while we were there, the kids were more than happy to spend a lot of time in it. All amenities etc were close by and for those journeys that were a little further, there are always scooters parked near by to hop on to get you to your destination that little bit quicker. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone, it’s a perfect little holiday home

Villa Margarita was an absolute joy. Spacious, well furnished and spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly need for a vacation. Easy 20 minutes walk to the promenade. TV had many UK channels although it could be temperamental at times. Would definitely stay here again.
4.0
The villa is located on the outskirts of Playa Blanca. It is surrounded by similar properties and although we could hear others in the neighbouring houses, our stay was peaceful.
We particularly enjoyed the south & west facing terraces when the weather allowed.
We did find the bedrooms to be quite chilly at night, the listed heating (A/C unit) is just in the lounge. Stacy kindly provided a heater for us.
The villa itself was otherwise comfortable and although functional, some of the appliances were a little dated. There was only 1 baking type tray for use as an oven shelf, which made using the oven quite difficult. We weren’t able to use the microwave as it smelt very strongly of fish.
Other than these minor issues I would recommend this villa for a stay in Playa Blanca.
5.0
Really lovely villa in a good location. We like to walk into restaurant areas so it was ideal for us. Outside furniture and pool we're brilliant. Plenty of space to eat and sit inside. Good TV. The bed was really comfortable which is a real place when on holiday.

Had a great week with family in this delightful 3 bed, 3 bath villa, found all as advertised. Excellent response from Stacy on all our requests. Would recommend to friends for a stay in Playa Blanca.

Beautiful villa 🤩
We have just returned from staying in this beautiful villa. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped & just so relaxing. Communication was excellent with both the owner Claire & Stacey. The shops, restaurants & beach are very close by. It is very peaceful where the villa is, just what we needed. The villa is much nicer than the photos on the website. We have had an amazing time & didn’t want to come home! A huge thank you Claire for letting us stay in your lovely villa. We will definitely return.

April 2022 PB trip
Just spent 11 nights at Villa Margarita, had a loverly relaxing time. The outside space is great with plenty of seating for sun or shade. We had one day of strange weather of wind rain and sun. This meant being inside for most of the day, but with the Villa being roomy no problem.
Key collection nice and easy. Contact, response from Claire and Stacy very straightforward.

Great Villa in a perfect location
Had a wonderful 10 day stay at Villa Margarita. The villa was spotless on arrival and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was great for the children and the view from the patio towards the mountains was spectacular, especially in a morning watching the sunrise. An easy 15/20 minute walk down to the promenade and on to either Playa Blanca centre or the marina and all the restaurants you could want. Playa Dorada was fabulous with plenty of amenities. We love Playa Blanca and will be sure to return.

Lovely Villa in a great location
We have had a fantastic time staying in Villa Margarita, all the facilities we needed were provided, even including beach towels. The location is just far enough out of town to be quiet, but within easy walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants, and the sea front. The pool was clean and warm, great for a cooling dip after sunbathing on the patio. We would love to stay there again !

Fantastic villa!
Really beautiful villa, clean, modern and lovely outside space and pool that is in the sunshine all day long! Would highly recommend, my two children (aged 8 & 10) spent most of the time here in the pool when we weren’t out at the local beaches.

A great villa in a lovely resort
Our first time in a private villa and this was a last minute change of plan as we were booked to go to Portugal but changed due to government advice at the time. Villa is spacious clean and tidy and geared up for Covid precautions. Location wise it's about a 20 min walk to the beach and around 25 - 30 mins into town. We had a car and would recommend one in this location. We found supermarkets better on the road to Papagoya (Superdino) than the town centre ones. Pool was excellent but maybe could have done with a 2nd clean during our stay. However that's a very minor gripe and overall we'd thoroughly recommend. Playa Blanca itself was extremely quiet with the Covid restrictions with many hotels and restaurants not open yet. Again with wasn't a problem and we ate out most nights, and felt safer than in the UK.

Absolutely Marvellous!
Villa Margarita is absolutely beautiful. My friends and I went for a week 8 - 15 December and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing holiday. The villa is approximately 30 mins drive from Arrecife airport. Its a little out of town (approx 20 minute walk) in a residential area, but that makes for a very quiet and relaxing break. All communication with the owner was seamless and we had been left very detailed joining instructions and lots of really useful information about the local area, where to eat, things to do, taxi companies etc. The villa was clean and spacious and had everything you could want to make it feel like a home away from home. The outdoor area was particularly lovely, with a BBQ, pool, sun loungers and comfortable dining area. Would thoroughly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

This villa is beautiful with loads of space and plenty of bathrooms! There were 4 of us and a baby on this trip, communication even before the trip with Claire the owner was first class, nothing was too much bother, even managed to organise a cot and high chair for our daughter.When we arrived we were put in touch with Stacy, the local rep on the ground, Stacy also was always available and helped us out with anything we needed which is a great help.Pool is heated, outdoor area is big and a bit of a sun trap, we would recommend this villa to all types of holiday makers, it's a 15-20 min walk to town or a 3 euro taxi, taxis are stupidly cheap here.We will definitely be coming back here!Thanks again to Claire and Stacy for making our trip hassle free.:))

Family holiday
Lovely villa in a quiet area but it was a bit further to walk to the town than we thought, so we had to use a taxi but to walk to the beach/shop wasn't as far. Lovely friendly restaurants and good food.

Villa Margarita Family stay
We, our children and the grandparents stayed here for 10 days. We all absolutely loved the stunning villa, equipt with pretty much everything you need. The pool was perfect for us and cleaned twice during our stay. We were very impressed with the care and maintenance of the villa.
Only very slight downside for us was the walk into the town with the little ones. But taxis were super and cheap.
Great Holiday all round ❤❤

Me, husband and 3 children (13, 11 and 8) recently returned from a 2 week stay in this fantastic villa. This villa was perfect for us - the space, facilities and cleanliness were faultless. We spent the majority of our time outside utilising the pool area, and we all enjoyed this space very much. I cannot rate this property highly enough. I also appreciated the great communication with Claire before our arrival. If you book this villa, you won't regret it. This was our first time booking a villa and due to this very positive experience, it won't be our last.

An absolutely perfect property
Villa Margarita is quite simply exquisite and will exceed all of your expectations. The property is situated in a lovely residential area so you are undisturbed, but near enough to the restaurants and bars, so that you really feel the holiday buzz. The Villa is impressive, three good size bedrooms and a large and airy lounge, large glass doors allow access to the pool area, which is fantastic, clean, again large, with a great pool that (when we were there) is kept heated. Around the pool are some great places to relax, recliners, a very comfortable settee area under a shade, way more room that you will ever need, but I suggest you do all your sightseeing before you head for the pool because once you are there you will not want to venture outside!
The owner Claire is very efficient and trustworthy and will do all she can to make your holiday excellent, and on the ground is Stacey, very reliable and knowledgeable who is there for advice and support.
All in all then an absolutely fantastic holiday that cannot be equalled, I would award this six stars if I could and it will come as no surprise that I fully intend to book again for my next holiday.

Well appointed villa in a nice area of Playa Blanca
My family and I had a lovely stay in the Villa Margarita- the villa is very well appointed with an amazing outdoor area and heated swimming pool.
The villa is in a nice area of Playa Blanca - a car would beneficial as the nearest supermarket is a reasonable distance away.
The owner Claire is quick to respond to emails and kindly agreed we could stay an extra hour on our day of departure. Claire also provided us with pool towels at no extra cost.
