We returned on the 3rd June from a lovely break at Villa de conde. 2 adults & a 1 year old. We went bed & breakfast wanting to take advantage of all the wonderful restaurants near by and was not disappointed with our decision. Breakfast at the hotel was to an excellent standard. Something for everyone. The huge Nutella pump was something we’ve never seen before & we loved the fresh honeycomb on offer over the weekend. The restaurant staff were all lovely & welcoming. The service was exactly what I’d expect in a large 5* hotel. It was very busy for a few days of our stay with it being Canaries day but the staff coped excellently. The pool areas were all beautiful. Pre-baby we would have spent our days round the quiet pool which was beautiful but our 1 year olds is pretty chatty so we opted for the 2 bottom pools instead. I love the added touch of the fake beach. The pools were a little too fresh at times but later into the day they warmed up beautifully. I’m sure in high season they would be warm pretty early on. We didn’t use the pool bar very much but I did have a mojito which was a little disappointing for its 9.50 euro price tag & my husband said the beer quality wasn’t amazing either so didn’t really bother with that again. We’re not big drinkers anyway so just kept to water in the daytime bought from the nearby supermarkets. The grounds around the hotel are beautifully kept & very interesting with the signs explaining what certain trees/plants are & where they are from. We did lots of walking around the grounds behind our explorative 1 year old. Mini club is for age 4+ however as it was quiet they did allow us to go in with our daughter for her to play with the other children and try the crafts. We watched the magic show which was a little underwhelming we didn’t watch any other shows due to them starting being past baby’s bed time but we could hear the singers from our balcony who all sounded great. We didn’t participate in any of the activities but the animators weren’t pushing them like we’ve had in other hotels which was a refreshing change. The kids park area could do with a refurb and the kids pool is very underwhelming. Just a plain rectangle pool nothing fun for the kids at all. The standard room was beautiful. Very big in comparison to other 5* hotels we’ve stayed in. Loved the walk in wardrobe, the separate bath & shower was brilliant for us with a baby too, the lopesan fish teddy was a nice little touch in the baby cot too. We had a lovely large Terrace in a quiet area with a sea view if you look to the left too. The fridge is a little on the small size & makes an awful whooshing noise so we ended up turning it off because it was disturbing our sleep. The cleaners did a good job however we were a little disappointed to find a brand new unopened bottle of calpol disappeared from our room also our baby/toddler reins. The reins could have been accidentally left elsewhere although we’re almost certain they weren’t as we norma
