This is a fab beachside villa, santo Tomas is a quiet area with some great eateries & beautiful sea views. The mini markets are adequate.The villa was a great size for us, we were 4 adults & 5 children aged between 2-6yrs. There are a number of steps and levels around the outside area, but it was never slippery & the children managed these fine. There is a drop on the side of the pool, but again this didn't cause any problems, although slightly smaller than some pools, it's a great depth for family jumping in & playing. The owners communication & responses has been spot on. Taxi from the airport was under €40. After sun-down listening to the sound of the waves while watching shooting stars on the patio with a G&T, great adult time!
We hired a car for one day to visit a water park, well worth it & only €53, with free child seats, from 'owners cars' (walking distance from the villa to their office) it was significantly cheaper than the others locally.
For a safe, beach location this villa is perfect, we all had a wonderful week.
