The villa was ideally located, with a local supermarket about 5 minutes walk away, that stocked everything you'd need, and also within walking distance to the Yumbo Centre and the Beach both were approximately 25 minutes walk away. The villa itself was clean and very well equipped, and the outdoor space with the heated pool was very private and a great area to relax. The communication with Colin was excellent and the booking in process with Beverly was very smooth. We all loved the villa and hope to book again soon.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Communication was great with an easy check in process via the local agent. The villa is showing signs of age with some plugs damaged or not working and a few patches of mould in the ensuite. The Aircon in the bedrooms was excellent and well needed in a very hot August. The kitchen was well equipped but hot to cook in. Outside area was nice but the pool is salty as doesn't use chlorine. The community pool is 30 seconds walk and was large and empty. The kids loved it. 30 min walk to the promenade of Mespalomas where there are lots of nice restaurants. We got several taxis which were really easy to use and only 5-7 euro. Local area was generally quiet although you could hear the local resort discos in the evening but it was silent from 10:30ish. Shop is 5 mins walk. We did struggle with insects inside the villa but it was very hot when we stayed. We used a can of insect killer spray to try and kill them each night. I imagine this is common in this area.

We have just come back from a 9 night stay, villa was lovely, it’s was mega hot so the air conditioning was a must. Some of the plates, bowels etc were dirty when we got them out to use but that’s nothing to do with the cleanliness of the villa, that’s the people before us! The little pool in the front garden was lovely but we also had access to a bigger one out the back which is used by other villas but hardly anyone else used it, the kids thought it was great. Beach is about a 20 min walk, bit longer for us as it was so hot. There are plenty of buses that we used regularly to explore the island and these were fab and a good price and the stop by the villa is about a 2 min walk so it was perfect. Beverly collected us from the airport was lovely and even stopped at the supermarket on route so we could get some supplies for that evening. We used the local HiperDino supermarket which catered for all our needs. If there was one thing that could be improved it would just be a local map showing where to go for everything, we founds things quite easily but a local map would of helped. Fab time had by all.

Great location and well positioned for all that Gran Canaria has to offer. The property is as advertised, well equipped and it was fantastic having the private pool! Colin and Beverly were great to deal with and we’d certainly recommend this villa to other families. Go, you’ll have a fantastic time!

My wife and I stayed with 3 children aged 11,12 and 13. We all had a great, relaxing time at the villa. We found it all to be fully equipped with everything we needed. My wife particularly liked the well stocked library and made use of borrowing a couple of good reads to enjoy by the pool. Kids loved the pool, it wasn't huge but perfectly adequate for us and held the heat well, which was a nice added bonus. There were a few things that could probably do with some updating and some bits were a little worn and overused. However in the main this dod not interrupt our stay and the good points to the villa by far out weighed any negative ones, it is really well stocked with everything we needed.. The neighbourhood was generally very quiet. There isn't a huge amount locally, there is a reasonably priced supermarket however and a restaurant. For a bit of entertainment there is a place called holiday world 10 minutes walk. There is also a large supermarket 25 minutes walk away, which was a pleasurable walk we done a few times to stock up. We also walked to play del ingles in 45 minutes. Again a pleasurable walk but if you didn't want to walk either of them, taxis are quite cheap. Beverley was brilliant, arranging our pick up and drop off very informative and quick to respond to any queries we had. Overall a very enjoyable stay, if we went back to gran canaria we would have no hesitation in staying at this villa again.

We all enjoyed our week at Villa Paraiso. Excellently equipped villa, especially the kitchen, if you like cooking. It was great to have 2 bathrooms too & we loved the outside covered area, where we spent most of our time outside. The solar heated pool isn't huge but was big enough for us, 3 adults. The villa is in a quiet location, close to a supermarket which was very useful. We hired a car & ventured into Playa del Ingles, 5 mins away, most evenings where there's a good selection of restaurants. I'd recommend Lola & Wapa Tapa but do book in advance as they're very popular. We haven't been to Maspalomas for 20 years, so it was nice to get reacquainted with the resort. I would definitely recommend staying at Villa Paraiso as a base to explore the area.

This villa has everything for a prefect stay, I'd say it was over stocked with wonderful books and dad's as well as a well stocked kitchen. The neighbourhood was quiet and there are a couple of food shops and restaurants close by. The villa pool has a jacuzzi option and the main pool can be reached through the back door of the property. Found the water scalding hot in the shower room, might need to run it for a while to get the right temperature. But a real gem of a place and wished we'd booked it for longer.

Everything we could have ever asked for. Colin and Bev were so helpful and accommodating which made it feel like a home away from home. The villa has everything you could want, both pools were clean and so handy to have and we used them everyday. The whole Villa was spotless. It’s in a great location, you can walk to the beach and the shops. We had a great holiday, thank you!
