The villa and its surroundings were stunning and we had a fantastic holiday. The kitchen is pretty well equipped and there's a bar-b-q area, so catering for large numbers wasn't a problem; similarly, there are numerous bathrooms so there was never a queue. The interior is attractive with two seating areas that each accommodate approx five people, but obviously almost all our time was spent outside, enjoying the amazing view, relaxing in the large chill-out areas or in the pool. There are other villas around and about but you'd never know it as you're not overlooked at all. As we were nine adults, the pool - which is only 2 feet deep for half of it, sloping to 6 feet at the deep end - was a little on the shallow side but it was well-used and would be great for those with kids. We didn't hire cars, which would definitely have made life easier as cabs aren't terribly reliable when you're asking for them to pick up outside of the main resorts. Once we discovered Airobuses (10E per person wherever you travel on the island), life became easier. Also, there is a shop a walkable 20 minutes away and we got all our bulk shopping delivered by the local supermarket, which was very efficient. I would definitely recommend Ses Arcades and my family (ages 22 to 62) would go back there like a shot. Downside? None as far as our group was concerned. If you have toddlers you might be a little wary of the outdoor steps leading down to the annexe bedrooms (which were good, by the way) and there's no grassy areas to run around on. But then there's the pool!
