We are just back from a week at La Casa Del Sol. We took our two foster children, aged 9 & 10, and our son, who is 14. The younger children had never been abroad before, so we were quite worried about how they would cope with Spain. It turned out to be the best holiday we have had with them. The villa was spacious and had everything we needed. The pool and grounds were amazing. We reckon the children were in the pool for about six hours most days! There was plenty to do in the area - we hired a car and went into Torrevieja several times in the evenings, we also drove to Calla Cortina and Guardamar del Segura beaches, which were lovely in different ways. Calla Cortina for snorkelling, jumping off rocks etc and Guardamar for the incredibly warm sea and soft sand. We also visited Aquaopolis water park which we thought was good value for money, although when you've got a pool at home…..not sure we really needed to go there.
The villa itself was very clean - spotless in fact. Paul, the manager was an excellent guide. We were very pleased we'd arranged for him to pick us up at the airport as he gave us loads of tips about places to eat and visit. He was also helpful with getting us to the car hire office and was always on time and very polite. We felt we could have approached him with any problems which arose - luckily there weren't any.
We thoroughly recommend the villa to anybody considering it. We all felt we could escape and find our on space when we needed to, but the communal areas were lovely too. The jewel in the crown is the pool - absolute bliss and really well maintained.
