"On the whole we thought the property was good value for the money we paid it was clean and comfortable. The villa could do with a few more plates, mugs, etc. if it caters for 6 people. The upstairs solarium was a lovely place to chill out - plenty of room."

Your kind & constructive comments are gratefully received and we are pleased you enjoyed your holiday and found it good value. I have immediately instructed our local property manager to review and attend to adding any crockery required. We look forward to welcoming your party back in the future.

"
The villa in La Marina was clean and spacious. Most of the time we had the pool to ourselves. There were several bars at 2 centres within a 10 minute walk and every meal we ate was of a high standard. The locals were always very friendly, although I would recommend that you check your change if you eat at Teo Pepe. La Marina is very much like Little Britain, to see the real Spain or beach you do need to hire a car.
It was an enjoyable holiday.

The check in was great thanks for getting us in early and Alan let us stay till 11 on check out which helped, Alan was also very helpfull.
All in all an excellent holiday was had by all! Fantastic villa! Modern, clean and very safe for children to run around un supervised. Especially appreciated the UK TV once the kids were in bed.
I will definitely put JonesVillas top of my list when booking my next trip."

| "This was our first trip to this particular area of Spain, usually we stay with family a bit further north, so to stay in a villa of such a high standard was lovely.
The Villa has everything you need for a perfect stay and is of a particularly high standard, both in quality and cleanliness.
Alan, our welcomer was waiting for us on our arrival and showed us everything we needed to know about our home for the week.
The Villa is well placed for all amenities and very close to a wonderfully long stretch of blue flag beaches.
We would highly recommend Jones Villas to anyone looking for either a relaxing stay in the beautiful Spanish sun or a fun time along the Coast Blanca coast as Benidorm and other bustling towns are not too far away."

| "The villa was excellent, 5* very clean and well looked after it had everything that you could need, ( I was surprised to see all the bars at the doors and windows ) the transfer service also excellent and Alan was always there if you needed anything.BUT it was not what I know of Spain, the description says `Villa rental in La Marina Pueblo` PUEBLO= VILLAGE, La Marina village was a few kilometers away, the villa was on the largest urbanisation in Europe, the 10 min stroll to local shops and bars was a 10 min stroll to little England ( Brits living abroad drinking all day ) not a Tapas bar in sight. We envisaged using the sun terrace during the day, then strolling to the `local` bars and restaurants, but we had to hire a car to find Spain. I was very pleased with the villa,
location NO!!!!!!"

We had a fantastic stay and came back totally refreshed.The property itself was very comfortable for the six of us with more than emough room and was kept in an excellent condition.Best beach was Guagamal with a superb nighttime market nd loverly seafront restaurents and all within 15 minutes drive. An excellent family holiday."

Would definetley recommend The Grill House for a meal out,it was excellent and the chinese at Quesada,Rojales,this was only 9 euro and eat as much as you like.
We would love to come back sometime again for another relaxing holiday,Thanks.
Would like to suggest a cool box and ice blocks for the villa so you can take drinks and snacks down to the beach with you."

The property manager was friendly and very helpful. The pool and villa were much larger than they seemed in the photos. The pool area was brilliant and clean and we did have the pool to ourselves a lot of the time. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a quiet serene holiday in a home away from home."

| "Thank you, we had a lovely time at La Marina and we would certainly visit again. It was ideally located for the sights around the area and your recommendations were great - we had a lovely meal at the restaurant at the top of the road. Alan was also really helpful, giving us a few tips.
The villa was well furnished and just what we expected it was also great that somebody had left their blow up boat as our son played with it constantly! Our son called the villa his holiday home and it certainly was that, a home from home! The villa is spacious and managed to cope with everyone from a 5 month old to an 82 year old! We loved the roof top bar-b-q! It was also really peaceful and everyone we met around the area was really friendly. We also had the pool to ourselves all the time which the kids loved.
The only thing we would recommend would be a few more chairs for outside. There was only 4 upstairs and we managed as we only needed 5, but if there was 6 adults it would be a bit of a pain. It was also lovely to sit out the front in the morning and again there could be more chairs or a better table to have breakfast.
Thank you - it was our first family holiday we had a fabulous time!"

"The property was five star, and had all you could ask for. As in many of the other reviews about this property we had the pool to ourselves most of the time. The few things that let the property down was the view to the front of the property, and the communal gardens had a lot of dog foul around. But apart from that it was a fantastic villa."
Owner reply:
:
We are pleased that you had a such a great time in our villa at La Marina and your kind comments are gratefully accepted. We are obviously concerned by your comments regarding the dog foul and immediately investigated the cause. Our neighbour has informed us that a cat has recently been coming into the communal gardens for relief in the gravelled area. Solutions to the problem have been put forward and steps are being taken to alleviate the issue.

There are some nice restaurants within short drive of the villa. A car is needed to get to the beach and the lovely restaurants further afield, although there is a good supermarket and restaurants within walking distance."

Both have all that you need for a great holiday, but in different ways. At La Manga, the view of the harbour was lovely, and at both La Manga and La Marina - the local facilities were excellent, food was good and service well above average.. Booking through Jonesvillas was pleasant and straightforward.. I would like to see more Jones Villas, preferably with private rather than communal pool, in the same general Alicante area as we visit regularly and this was the one thing that would determine where we stay..."

plenty of resteraunts and bars in the area all within walking distance, and the beach is only a small journey in the car.
car is recommended if you want to go that bit further, as there is lots to do.
overall a fantastic holiday !!!!"

The pool was within a stones throw from the villa so we could see the children from the villa bedroom. A clean and tidy villa, well managed and looked after.
All in all a great mini break and I will happily recommend it to friends and family.
Thank you.

| "Having previously used Villa Renters and also stayed at another JonesVillas accommodation, I had no hesitation in using either again. This villa in La Marina is both comfortable and impressively located. Just a few minutes by car to the beach where we used the new beach bar & eatery and a leisurely stroll from the villa to the local shops & bars where a good supermarket & British style butcher among others can be found. Try ‘the venue’ nightclub for a late night drink. The private garden area of the villa, quite pool area (felt like having a private pool its so quite) and the local children’s play area en route to the shops were all used by our party. As we have come to expect with JonesVillas accommodation, it is appointed to a very high standard with everything included for a great holiday. The meet and greet service offered is also very good. Gina did a great job of letting us know what’s what. We can’t wait to go back later in the year.
Thanks to all at JonesVillas.com

| "The villa itself was beautiful and very good value for money. The owner was most helpful with supplying airport transfer details and different websites.
My only critiscism really is that it was too urban. The local bars and restaurants were not really very trendy or located in a particularly nice location. They were all a good ten minute plus walk away. The view from the villa was a building site due to the expansion in the area.
The beach took us over an hour to walk to which was a lot further than we expected and there was nothing there when we eventually arrived.
A great villa in a quiet residential location, not really near to much on foot. Very clean villa and ideal if you want to chill out and do nothing. The pool area was very clean and quiet."

"No problems with the villa at all. Took me a bit of time to work out the hob a v. simple 123 written instruction would help here I think as so much to go through when we picked up keys that when I came to use it I had forgotten the procedure - just lots of beeping noises!!. Cot and welcome pack were there as per instructions. Great holiday and no doubt you will see us back again."

Ooops! We agree that the hob is a bit high tech, we have taken your comments on board and have now added simple instructions into our welcome file. Thank you very much for your feedback.

It was great for the children to have their own private garden to use for play and with the added advantage of being secure from the main pool area.
For best use a car is ideal, the beach being about 10 minutes away as well as some of the best visitor attractions. There are loads of shops and restaurants within a short stroll from the villa though (you can even get a decent curry).
This is one place we will be back to again and again for a ‘really relaxing’ family holiday. Thanks jonesvillas, 5 Stars.

We travel to Spain approximately three times a year and this is the first time we've stayed at La Marina. Although the Urbanization is still undergoing some development the villa is situated in a peaceful area - which is always a bonus!

"We were not told or forewarned that the water and electricity supply would be on and off at any given time. There was no warning. It was a big problem for us having children and not having any water most of the time. It was off more then it was on. Then on the Friday the electricity supply kept going off, we only could put it on again as being an electrician, i could find the switch at the box near the swimming pool, otherwise the whole street would have been without any power. That was the only downfall of the villa, the location, the villa itself was excellent, i would book again, only if i was sure that we wouldnt have problems with the water and power supply."
Owner reply:
:
It is with regret that we acknowledge the problems you encountered with the service utilities while staying in La Marina. It has since been widely reported in both the Spanish local and national press that the Alicante and Murcia regions have suffered from acute water shortages due to the lack of rainfall in 2006. On further investigation following your review we now understand that without notice, a number of town halls in the area took the unprecedented decision to restrict the supply by switching it off for about an hour in the morning and evening around the time you were staying. As we are sure you will appreciate, this was outside of our control. We understand that restrictions have been lifted and our more recent guests have not reported any further supply problems. We have also had the electrics fully tested for faults. No defects were discovered and no further problems have been reported. Your comments are appreciated and we’ll continue to monitor the situation. We would love to welcome you back to the villa sometime in the future and assure you of our best attention at all times.

"The Location is a bit a drawback and if you are
coming first time it would be difficult to locate
the villa. Also the swimming pool in the deep end
there are no steps to come out and you have to push your yourself upwards and get scrathed by the rough on the pool .The apartment was well cleaned and ready when we got there.Finally the lady Gina was very heplful ."
Owner reply:
:
We have recently revised our location details, which also now include a map and recent guests have had no problem with finding the villa. Thank you for pointing out the lack of steps in the deep end of the pool, a set has now been installed.
