The villa is really well appointed - don't be put off by street view. Inside the gate, it is very private and comfortable. Great for kids (if they can swim), and for the less mobile, as all is level or ramped. Beds and chairs plentiful and comfortable, bathrooms really, really nice. Multiple sitting/eating areas outside made it feel spacious. Lovely pool. We couldn't have asked for more.
It is, however, not 'a few steps' from the sun-bed carpeted beach, but the best part of a kilometre. Situated just into a quiet side-street, off a busy main drag with line-up of Brit bars, all-day breakfasts, tattoo parlours etc. A useful supermarket is really 'a few steps' away (tho' cheaper to buy elsewhere), and the nearest bar ('The Shine', sports TV, Bingo) nearer still. This is not our particular scene, but it was easy with a car to escape to e.g. Pollenca, and a 30 min stroll along the beach brings you to Port Alcudia, easier on the eye and cholesterol level, with Spanish food and older architecture. We really liked Port Pollenca (short drive) for an evening mooch and meal on the sea-front: lots of choice, boats in the harbour, craft stalls. If you do succumb to the full-English breakfast, 'The Shine' has excellent quality, price and cheerful service.
Beware the sneaky, silent mosquitoes round the pool in the evening.
