we have recently returned from our second stay at villa la yuka, and have booked allready for next year. The villa has everything you would wish it to have and more!!.The location is great for shops and restaurants, with great friendly pubs a short stroll away offering you entertainment most nights. The gardens of the villa are something special with a private pool and bbq area.The weather wasnt the best this year , (not garrys fault) but what the hell we were on holiday. Speaking of Garry hes just a phone call away if you need anything or a lift to anywhere you might want to visit, hes there to ensure you have a great time and nothing is a bother to him.(Thanks Garry) roll on our next visit in 2012. Dennis Kevin (The Mankini 2) Denise and Maria.

20/08/2011 - 03/09/2011 What a brilliant holiday we all had staying here, as others have said...it really was everything we wanted and more! Garry was very helpful and made us feel very welcome! There were 6 of us staying here and another 2 staying close by, Garry arranged additional transport (our friend Mike) so we could all enjoy days out! I would certainly recommend to others! Thank you Garry.....love the Allen Family.

We were really pleased to stay at La Yuka. Garry was happy for us to leave our cases as our flight arrived early, and was ready as agreed at 3pm. He showed us around and also came back a couple of times to make sure everything was OK. He was also only a text away if we wanted anything.
The villa was clean and tidy and felt like a proper home. Location is quiet yet convenient (if you dont have a car then Garry will drive you and theres also a local bus service). Shops and bars are close - though we did spend most of our time by the pool.
La Yuka comes highly recommended and wed certainly consider booking again.

Hello Garry and Sue,
The Marquesa is a fantastic house outside as inside. A complete home lacks nothing. We had a great month vacation from July 15 to August 15, 2011. As usual you were always at our service. We had already rented two years ago and now the Yuka Marquesa as happy for all the family. We will return it on her and safety. Marquesa or Yuka We recommend these beautiful villa to anyone .... see you soon Garry and
Sue. Chris, Steph, Flo and all the family.

Just got back from Garry and Sues villa for the second year running. We had a lovely time again and the weather was great. Once again Sue and Garry were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Garry for bringing us a new DVD player when the other one broke, it meant a lot to Lucy. The villa is beautiful and there is everything you could wish for.The pool is lovely with lots of seating areas and shade if the sun is too hot. The villa is situated in a quiet residential area which is within easy reach of the local restaurant, shops etc. We would certainly recommend this villa and hope to come back. Thank you Garry and Sue we enjoyed meeting you both again.

Hi Rod, Jenny and lovely Lucy

Review submitted by Sue from Cwmbran (Submitted: 4 Oct 2010)
We stayed in the Villa as a family of 6 adults, with 2 more family visiting us on a daily basis. There was always plenty of room for us all in the villa, grounds and pool, having 3 separate bathrooms and several eating and sitting places outside was brilliant. The villa facilities were everything we needed and more, the villa itself is bright modern and airy. Garry was great, anything we asked for he did without question, including getting us 2 more sunbeds and a new gas bottle, which we didnt even need! He also helped us out when our flight was cancelled and let us stay an extra 2 nights even though it put him out with his cleaning schedule for the next visitors. There were plenty of restaurants to eat near by 5/10 minutes walk - Hoggies good breakfast and good value, Taras and the pizzeria nice for an evening meal. All in all an excellent holiday, we would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to friends.

i would just like to say as garrys and sue daughter, that this couple are absolutely wonderful! they exceed in making you feel welcome every time! the attention to detail in everything, from the food they cook for us right down to the fresh cold water and beautiful fresh towels on our beds! even though im family, they still treat me like a 5 star guest!
This couple deserve all the recognition these reviews give, as they take pride in everything. \they work so hard as i have been staying with them when they have bookings and i know how hard they work in the sweltering heat, they still manage a smile.
just want to say dad, i love you and miss you every day. xxxx

Review submitted by fiona from brechin (Submitted: 10 Aug 2010)
this villa has been one of the best we have stayed in, and we have been doing villa holidays for seven years. We really enjoyed the outside space, there were seven of us but we were never on top of each other in fact sometimes you had to search to find someone. We had unfortunately to have the pool drained for some essential repairs to be carried out, but Gary gave us the keys for the villa across the road and we had full use of its pool, it was back to full working order in a couple of days. The villa had everything you needed if i had to be picky i would of liked air con in the bedrooms it was a bit hot for sleeping. Gary was a great host who was unobtrusive. La Siesta was a quiet urbanization with some good restaurants Hoggies and the two chineses came out tops with us, we think a car would of been benificial. All in all we had a great time and wish we were back already.

Villa Yuka is an extremely nice property, that has an extremely good outside area.
The area around is very residential , but shops and restaurants are easily reached.
Review submitted by ROD from CAMBERLEY (Submitted: 21 Jul 2010)
Having just returned from a two and a half week holiday with my wife and daughter (who has special needs) I would just like to say what a great time we all had. We were met at the villa by Sue who showed us around and told us how everything worked. There was a welcome pack as well which was much appreciated. Gary came and told us about the area, The villa is simply lovely. So clean and tidy and everything that you can think of is there right down to spices in the food draw. The outside of the house is beautiful with plenty of shaded seating areas (which you will really appreciate as its getting hotter by the day. The pool is heaven and so clean and the gardens are well maintained with lots of lovely shrubs and trees.
Gary came to see us during the holiday to make sure that everything was ok and it was good to know that he was only a phone call away if there were any problems (there were none) It was also good to know that he was fluent in Spanish and nothing was too much trouble for him.Whatever you wanted to know he knew or would find out for you. A big thank you Gary for your patience trying to get Lucy into the pool.
All together we had a great time so great in fact we have already booked again for next year (cant wait).
Thank you again Gary and Sue for your 5 star villa and 5 star service. See you next year.

Review submitted by Tracey from Derby (Submitted: 21 Jun 2010)
We travelled as 3 adults with 2 young children (3 years and 4 months), the villa was excellently prepared for our young family, and nothing was too much trouble for Garry and Sue. Both are great hosts who obviously enjoy managing all their villas and make everyone feel like family. We have a relative out here, so have stayed in spain for the last 7 years and this has been by far the best villa and best welcome we have ever had. Most places simply have a key holder who met us and disappeared until the end of the holiday. Garry and Sue met us at the airport with our hire car, took us to the villa and gave us a tour around. They were always at the end of the phone for any problems, even if it was just a text message query. Gary also popped into see us a few times in the holiday to ensure we were all ok, even bringing a present for our little girl, but he was never intrusive of our privacy, and is always so happy its a pleasure to see him. We spent a lot of time at the villa, its so good there were many days we felt no need to leave. The grounds are all enclosed so safe for the kids to run about freely, and our daughter loved the pool, which she could use whenever she wanted as there are plenty of seating areas for adults within sight of the pool, all arranged to catch the shade at different times of the day. We absolutely loved our holiday, and booked next year with them before we even left! Thank you Garry and Sue - your both amazing!!
PS. The photos really dont do this place justice. The garden is immaculate, with tons of space, and works brilliantly with the main open plan living area of the house.

hi garry and doctor sue, the crazy gang had a brilliant holiday, the villa was out of this world everything we needed was there and more besides. the pool was a welcoming site in the morning as the sun was coming up we spent hours of fun with all the water toys to use.the gardens are very private and beautiful with plenty of space to chill out ,the sun terrace is a must to get a tan and see the salt lakes. last but not least we have to say a big thankyou to garry for all his help,he was a great host and made us feel welcome as soon as he picked us up at the airport, and having a sing song on the return journey, and in between taking us to supermarkets and places of interest we also need to thank sue for her help with the prickly heat the yoghurt worked we will definitely be booking la yuka again best wishes to you both from elaine,steve,janet,ian,and hilda

From the transfer pick-up to the transfer dro p-off at the aiport, everything was of the highest quality.The Villa is really something else, both inside and outside in the gardens.Everything was spotlessly clean & tidy. You really want for nothing.When we arrived, the fan in one bedroom was not working but within one hour a brand new one was in stalled. Gary & Sue do a brilliant job as hosts, rep,s and tourist information.(plus a super taxi service) All being well we will definately be visiting LA-YUKA again next year.Cheers Gary & Sue and once again THANKS for everything.

"Stunning villa with lots of space in quiet rural location. car needed to visit beach and local towns, very traditional un touristy towns nearby. Villa very clean and lovely tasteful furniture fab air conditioning. Pool great with lovely gazebo by pool giving very welcome shade, perfect for lunch and sangria. bbq was new big gas one so we spent lots of time eating in and dining al fresco. kids loved villa and pool. fun to watch bats flying at night, so quiet you can hear their wings flap. If you want some luxury and to see some real spain, this is the place to come. Beach at Guardamar great, visit Moncaio quieter and very beautiful."

"would recommend to everybody,the villa was fantastic and we were all really shocked by how nice and homely it was when we arrived. the pool was fantastic. The surrounding area of the villa including all the bars and restaurants were fantastic. Had lots of late nights at the bars and found it very easy to find our way back. The communication with the owner was fantastic through out and he eased a lot of query's we had thanks . Garry was absolutely fantastic picking us up from the airport for a small fee and also returning in mid week to pick up our friend Steven,he also took us all back to the airport for our return home,and not forgetting that he also took us and picked us up from the waterpark.which turned out to be a fantastic day. Garry also took us to the local complex and showed us wear the shops bars and restaurants were so we could pick up essentials as soon as we got there.he gave us a fantastic tour around the villa showed us wear everything was and how it worked, Garry really couldn't have done anything more for us than he did. thanks a lot Garry. An all round fantastic holiday for us five lads would not hesitate in returning. Thank you from Jim,Tim,Tim,Steve and Steele."

Review submitted by Peter from Huddersfield (Submitted: 8 Jun 2009)
From the moment we arrived we were met with the friendly face of Sue whom gave us a full, comprehensive tour around this fantastic villa. Too many times we have been away where the photos have been taken in a manner that over compliments the actual reality. Not in this case, everything you see is as good in reality as it is on the website and in many instances better. A Pool side fridge and toilet meant all your whims are catered for and the villa itself is immaculate and very well stocked. Nice bars and restaurants are a five minute walk across an open park. This has been described by some as wasteland, having been to spain many times, this is a park and it was very easy to walk across. Garry and Sue were never intrusive but you always had the comfort that they were there if needed. We were a young group (average age 30) and the 6 of us had one of the best holidays we have ever had. All i can say is book it if its available, you wont regret it.

It is not very often I am moved to write a review of a house I have rented as we do it very frquently in our family. I travel extensively for my job and as a result use rented accomodation very frequently. Sometimes you are lucky and you find a good property, sometimes you can get a helpful host - but at La Yukka we found both!
The villa is just beautiful, the best facilities of anything I have stayed in. It was very well stocked with everything you could need and I have to say it was absolutely spotless. The area is residential and the Spanish neighbours were friendly.
Gary and Sue were fantastic - without imposing you knew Gary was just at the end of the phone at any time. Their advice on local restaurants, bars, beaches, markets etc was invaluable.
Our stay could not have been happier and this was due to Gary & Sues attention to detail and the way they maintain this beautiful property.
I cant say enough about how much we enjoyed it - we have 3 daghters 19, 15, and 12 and it is the first time they have agreed on anything! ever!
We would recommend this villa without hesitation - even though I was reluctant to do so as it feels like the best secret and we fear it may well become difficult to get a booking once people discover it!
Thanks again Gary & Sue for a really excellent week, we will definitely be back.
Regards, Colin

What a beautiful villa - and absolutely everything was provided by the owners Gary and Susan. The customer service provided was also second to none. Gary couldnt have been more helpful. Giving us advice re where to go, eat etc and also provides a taxi service at very reasonable rates. We would have no hesitation recommending this villa and the area to anyone. Only very small downside is the restaurants and bars which are very close but too British - ie serving cheap british fare. However there were a number of very nice restaurants in Torrevieja Torrevieja and surrounding areas very beautiful. Thanks again go to Gary

We had a good holiday if the weather had been better it would have been bliss
Review submitted by Laura from Canterbury (Submitted: 23 Oct 2008)
Really nice villa fully loaded with everything you could possibly need, pool and garden area was really nice, made full use of the BBQ. Would recommend renting a car if you want to get out and about as its slightly out the way. Local facilities i.e shops are a good 15 minute walk and the main supermarket is a car journey. There are a few bars 10 minutes away accross some waste land which is not ideal when with young children or pushchairs. Gary was very helpful and couldnt do enough for us. Overall an amazing villa and ok area and facilities. Will try and revisit and have recommended to friends.

The villa was clean and had every thing anyone could possibly want, pool great, barbeque great, facilities in the villa excellent. Shops(English butcher in Elenas supermarket) and bars were five minutes walk in both directions. Gary the owner is brilliant, sorts out any problems for you and is more than willing to help out with transport to anywhere at a very reasonable cost.Small waterpark five minutes walk away and free for under fours. We would certainly use this villa again.

The villa offered us excellent accommodation with everything we could need and more! Gary and Susan could not have been more helpful and we definitely recommend Villa La Yuka.

We had a fabulous holiday and it was mainly due to Garry who couldnt have been more helpful, he was only a phone call or text away. The photos on here of the villa dont do it justice. The villa was spotless and likewise the pool also. Would defo recommend it to other people, such a relaxing holiday.
thank you very much Garry

Hi Gary and Sue
We cant thank you enough for our fabulous stay at La Yuka! It far exceeded our expectations! We had the best time. It is difficult when holidaying with little ones, but everything was to hand, the villa was well stocked with everything you could imagine!!
Gary was always at the end of the phone, and nothing was too much trouble, we happened to mention that we were thinking of hiring a pushchair, as we had left ours at home like fools, but no sooner had we said it, Gary and Sue turned up with a brand new Graco pushchair for the villa and our use!!
The description of the property and photos do the place no justice. There is a lovely split level roof terrace, an outside loo, an outside bar and beautiful BBQ area, the pool is stunning (and well kept) the grounds are gorgeous, the villa is secure (also a worry with little ones) the kitchen is fab and stocked with every herb and spice imaginable, the lounge is really spacious (there were 8 of us staying, and not once did it feel crowded) and the bedrooms were just lovely.
cannot recommend this place enough. Perfect villa, perfect holiday, perfect weather, just perfect all round!! We will return........
Thanks

P.S Gary, It wasnt the washing machine, we put on half a stone each!!

Kind regards to you both

although this villa is of a very high standard there rae 1 or 2 issues that really need to be addressed.
When arriving after very long journey with kids in tow it was very disappointing to be told that the villa was still being cleaned i know we where a little early but it would have been nice to be able to dro p the luggage
off rather than be told that it took them 11 hours to clean the villa last time (maybe cleaners should be hired)
also why have a music centre at the BBQ bar if you can not use it? yes its true. gary told us one morning that if we are not quite after 11pm we would get a visit from the police and could be taken to the airport and sent home as this is a quite area well gary please be assured we never made any such noise and anyway my mum said as we where on holiday i could say up till midnight as iam almost 50.
sorry gary but those things needed to be said please lighten up people work hard all year and pay good money to visit your villa we dont need the hassle that you provide.if you require a lesson on how to look after your guest than maybe you would like to visit my villa in portugal and i will show you how its done i promise you can stay up as late as you like good luck gary
your need it

Hi Mick
Thank you very much for your comments; we will take them on board. Any feedback we get helps us to improve our standards, we do appreciate them. I do apologise for you not being able to obtain entry to La Yuka at midday, this was due to the fact that our guests previously didn’t vacate the villa until 10 am that same day, and to provide the high standard that you received. We tend to allow ourselves 5 hours to prepare for our next guests, this why we state in our advert that our earliest time of arrival is 3 pm, however I do apologise for any inconvenience caused. Our aim is to ensure all our guests a memorable holiday, and we are aware that people save all year for their holidays, with this in mind we will endeavour to obtain a license from the authorities for those who like to party late. Thank you for your comments and the gesture of good luck, I wish you good luck also with your villa in Portugal.
Kind regards
Garry La Yuka Villa

VILLA LA YUKA 26/5/08 TO 03/06/08
TOP CLASS VILLA WITH GARRY WHO DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE OUR STAY GREAT , CLEAN VERY TIDY INSIDE AND A FAB POOL THAT WE HAD MANY HOURS OF FUN IN.
YOU NEED A CAR TO GO TO THE BEACH AND SOME OF THE OTHER ATTRACTIONS BUT ITS ONLY 10 MINS AWAY FROM MOST THINGS.
EATING OUT WE FOUND THE CHINESE BUFFET TASTY AND THE BEST FOOD WAS FROM HOGGIES BAR ALL WITH IN A FEW MINUTE WALK .
WILL BOOK AGAIN SOON WHEN I SAVE SOME MORE PENNIES.
THANKS GARRY

Mr & Mrs Faulkner visited La Yuka in November 2007 for a 2 week stay, this is a copy of the letter they sent us.
Dear Garry & Susan
Just a letter of thanks to you both for making our stay in La Yuka a memorable one. You made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for you both, and thank you for the champaign arrival. You are a very furtunate couple to be living in such a beautiful part of Spain and you have such lovely nieghbors. We made a few freinds of our own at the local restaurants, especialy Maria at the chineese retaurant. we will certainly be re booking for next year. Good luck to you both

The property is situated in an excellent area and had all the ameneties we needed, we stayed at villa La Yuka for two weeks in September 2007, and if the owners will allow us we will stay longer in 2008
