Villagg Tal Fanal

At first glance all seemed spacious & average in the 1 Bedroom Maisonette. When we walked in the bathroom it stunk like hell. The bath mixer & sink taps all corroded plus the shower head hardly does the job. On the whole the bathroom could be all renovated. After an hour in the place I got bad hay fever. Ceiling fans & insect screens where filthy. Extra pillows in the wardrobe where damp & stinky. One armchair had big stains too. As for the kitchen I only trusted to use the kettle & mugs. Pool & outside area is very nice but rules are broken with people & kids playing ball & jumping in the water. Not the relaxing long weekend we needed & imagined so we left after 1 night. Not one staff member was seen so even Covid rules broken

Having read some mixed reviews (mainly dated around 2016) I was a little apprehensive but we had a great experience at Villagg Tal-Fanal. We went with a huge group of friends and hired the whole place, and it's probably one of the best holidays I've been on in memory. The complex is arranged a central pool area, with a large, clean, and warm pool that was a delight to swim in each day. Shaded sun loungers seemed to always be available, but you're still just seconds from your apartment. The apartments themselves are all slightly different; locations, configurations, sizes, floors, etc, but this just adds to the charm. Some of the reviews have complained about the upkeep, but this wasn't a problem for us; perhaps it's a little quaint and some things could have been newer, but for the price, we're more than happy. Additionally, the maintenance guy came as soon as we had a problem to rectify one or two small ******* we had. High speed wifi is everywhere and while sometimes a little slow to connect, had a 130mbs speed that matches what I had at home. Self catering was not a problem; there's a lovely supermarket (Lighthouse) a 10 minute walk away, which we were incredibly surprised to find almost everything you could want (from food, to drink, to supplies), all very high quality, and we ate like kings every night. The beds were really comfortable; not hard or soft, but medium. I sleep on a memory foam mattress at home and am quite picky but most nights I was asleep in seconds, and woke up every morning without any back problems. The rooms are also air conditioned, and there are duvets should the air con be too effective (which it could be!). I would advise taking a couple of extras like a washing up brush and perhaps plastic glasses for the pool, as there is no bar and glass is not allowed. Contrary to one of the other reviews, we asked for and received toilet paper, as well as hangers, with a smile. Overall, a great place to stay, and highly recommended.

There are good points and bad points: - Good points: cozy mezonette surrounded by a very beautiful yard and palm trees and beautiful swimming pool. There was an under-ground parking and the location of the motel was nice. - Bad points: The mezonette is serviced only with 2 toilet paper rolls for all your stay long, thereby you must shop yourself the toilet papers. The trash bag is about 20 liters and only one empty genral trash bag is serviced at your arrival, thereby you should take care of them yourself. If your reservasion is for more than two people and you pay for all equivaletly, only two of you can use the bed and the rest of you should use a metalic-base foldable sofa as a bed, which you cannot even sleep on it (maybe fine for people less than 20 kg weight, but definitely not good for heavier people). The provided towels will stay with you till of your checkout, they won't change the towels regularly.
