The staff acted like we were doing them a favour by letting us stay there. Our villa shower was leaking and there was extensive wall damage, so it had been happening a while. Leak was all the way into the kitchen so if gone unnoticed anyone could have slipped and fell. Pool tiles were falling off into the pool and we were stepping on them Had to take a shuttle anywhere we wanted to go (beach, etc) Noisy neighbour with dogs barking all the time and TV blaring outside Don't recommend.

Although this was a beautiful property it is currently next to a large construction project so lots of hammering and saws throughout the day. The resort is gigantic, there's only one shuttle van, we waited up to 15 minutes a number of times to get yo various locations. The pool service is the worst on the planet, six male servers wandering about lost. The restaurant prices are very very expensive, the FG ood mediocre however the people are nice. The resort staff were always friendly and helpful. This place is really designed for golfers, spend most of the time on the fairway and minimal time at the room. If you do decide to book here bring lots of cash and good earplugs.

Dining at restaurants along the beach and to the east and west of VDL was excellent. Highly recommend were Bold Octopus, Passeo2, Bovino, Brooks, and the Cheeky Pub and for fun was BJ’s Beach Club. Live Music everywhere. The Villa was equipped with small but full kitchen, washing machine, iron and hairdryer. Shuttle staff was always on time and most courteous. Ubers were great as well! A yes, we must return!

Completely equipped and really functional. Used as a base for four days golfing and worked very well for that. It was a bit soulless, but it was in great condition and it would have been great even for cooking in, which I didn't do. No instructions for the TV and some streaming kit, but otherwise good. The power did trip while I was there, but the VdL staff fixed in within hours.

Mediocre
Disappointing and damp space. Couldn’t really hang out there because there was no outside space or sofa. Felt a bit clinical. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Cleanliness was acceptable. Wouldn’t recommend this one to be your choice of apartment for a holiday. But I’m sure other Villas and apartments might be much nicer to stay in the resort. The Resort itself is lovely and has a lot to offer for a great stay.

VDL is a truly magnificent resort, particularly for anyone of a sporting background. Location could not be better, and they have enough variety of restaurants and bars to please everyone. Some of the buildings may need refurb at some point, but this is understandable within these unprecedented times. Finally, the staff are really professional, knowledgeable and care for their guests
