Overall the villa is attractive, well located, with a nice sea view, convenient access to the airport, Palma, grocery shopping, beach and rest of the island. It allows for a gathering of ideally either two families with two adults and two children each or 8 adults.
Having a benchmark from last year, when 8 of us rented a villa in Santa Ponsa at the same time of the year, we are afraid to say that this time this villa did not fully meet our high expectations.
The villa is not really designed for 10 persons, for sure not 10 adults. Tables are not made for 10, neither the number of chairs, the grill is new but too small, the beds are too narrow for two adults, one dishwasher is probably one too few, there are too few tea/coffee spoons and glasses. The second fridge/cooler in the garage is dysfunctional.
The infrastructure is not well maintained. The water supply broke down, a shower head was defected, cans were lying around on the roof terrace.
The access to the garage was not recommended or not possible, especially not for larger ones like we had. Given that we had 8 golfers, 10 people to cater for with food and beverages who like to cook and eat at home, it was dysfunctional not having access to the garage with a larger car.
To round up on a positive note, we’d like to mention that – overall - we had a pleasant stay with a group of 10 male friends and that we received fast and professional responses to our needs before and during our stay.
Best regards,

Thank you for submitting your feedback, I am sorry that the villa was not as it should have been for your arrival, I understand the Property Manager did rectify the problems quickly for you. The villa can comfortably accommodate a family group of 10 , and we have many groups stay over the years, however I appreciate that the beds were probably tight for 10 adult males.

This location is PERFECT. The quality of this villa can't be done justice in photos and the service provided by the villa management was the best we've had in over 10 visits to Mallorca. Nothing was too much for them and it helped us settle in within hours, instead of days. We didn't waste much time going to the wrong places as someone was always on hand to help.
The villa's super-clean, spacious, modern but still really cosy and so peaceful. The sleep quality was something you would normally only expect in the Four Seasons but within a few minutes you could be shopping, eating, walking or playing tennis!
Thanks to everyone involved.
