Casa elisabetta

Just back from a stay in Casa Elisabetta. Been using Optima villas for over 10 years and this is the first time I've not been overly impressed with Optimas response whilst on holiday and the accommodation.

Pros:
*Secure entry complex which was quiet and next to a little mini supermarket at the base on Montana Roja.
*Plenty utensils in the villa
*Usual welcome pack from optima which is appreciated.
*TV channels excellent.
*WiFi throughout
*Good for smaller family holiday

Cons
*Beds uncomfortable.
*Tired and dated decor inside with marks on the walls.
*Showers needing updated
*Layout was a little strange with some sliding doors not feeling 100% secure at the back.
*Washing machine broken on arrival. Reported on day 2 of holiday as needed to wash child's clothes. Optima took 3 days to rectify this after saying it was delayed until the day before we were leaving to go home. Explained how disappointed I was of this and they eventually said one would be replaced in 2 hours time. They fixed the issue but taking 3 days with a slower email communication update on the situation wasn't their usual service we had in the past from them. Not sure why this was this time but nonetheless they sorted it thankfully.

*Sofas in the living areas were stained and very very uncomfortable.

*Table in hallway screwed to the wall a hazard for banging toes on, getting in and out of the front door.

*Pool had green round the sides until the last day when two Pool cleaners came in and cleaned it properly. Sadly this wasn't done for us arriving for our weeks holiday.

*30-40 min walk to the main playa blanca harbour. Walking didn't bother us too much. Just a little further than previous stays.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review after your stay at Casa Elisabetta.

We are sorry that this time the standards within the villa and the service you received fell short of the usual high standard you would expect from Optima Villas.

We have noted the main areas of concern following your stay and will share these with the maintenance and housekeeping teams.

We hope your next stay with Optima Villas is just as memorable and impressive as the wonderful holidays you’ve already enjoyed with us.

Both the Villa Keira and the company were great.

We recently had a great stay at Villa Keira end of March 2026. The company were really responsive when I had questions and were really accommodating to our needs with early check in and late check out. Villa was great with a fabulous pool. Lovely and warm despite the cooler conditions in March and the challenging recent weather.
Only had one disruptive nights sleep with the wind but that’s no reflection on the villa.
Lovely hot tub area and very private.
Would highly recommend the villa and this company. Will stay again

We stayed in Villa Ciocco

We stayed in Villa Ciocco. As other reviews have said, the Villa is a little rough around the edges, nothing major but it would make it a 5 star experience if a few things were updated and replaced. The dishwasher wasn’t working well and my husband had to clean it all out. The pool and outside areas are lovely, the heated pool was perfect and the kids spent hours swimming. It’s in a lovely spot with stunning views of the sea. In easy reach of most things with a car. You could hear the entertainment from a nearby hotel most evenings, but it wasn’t loud and finished by 10pm. All in all we had a great holiday and would go back to the Villa for the outside space and easy proximity to Playa Blanca and the surrounding areas.

Just back after a wonderful stay in…

Just back after a wonderful stay in Casa Azul in Playa Blanca. Our first time trying the villa life and it did not disappoint!!! The house was lovely and exceeded our expectations. The kids loved the heated pool and we spent our days lounging around the pool and enjoying the beautiful sunshine. The villa is in a quiet area about a 20 minute walk to the seafront - great to get the steps in each day! Plenty of towels including beach towels, a very well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, powerful showers, washing machine, dishwasher, iron etc as well as board games, cards and books too! Really appreciated the very thoughtful welcome pack too as we arrived late in the evening. Would highly recommend Optima Villas based on our stay.

We had a wonderful time staying in Puerto Mar apartment, serviced by Optima Villas. The apartment was in a central location in Playa Blanca, near to shops, bars and supermarkets. It was very comfortable and clean with an outstanding view of the sea. We will definitely return!

We were given this villa as our booked one was flooded, it was cheaper but you get what you pay for. Villa was very miminal, beds were very comfortable, linen and towels very good, plenty of china etc. Welcome pack appreciated but would have liked some salt and pepper. Bbq was unusable due to heavy rust as was shower head in ensuite bathroom. No greenery outside and very sterile. Swimming pool cover straps broken. Very quiet area as mostly residential. We would not return to this villa but will always use Optima for further bookings as we have done before, great communication.

Thank you for your review. It was unfortunate that due to a water leak you were unable to stay at your original choice of villa for which we apologise.

We appreciate the feedback you have given and we will ask our maintenance team to address the issues you have raised.

We are delighted to hear you will be booking again with Optima Villas in the future and we look forward to welcoming you back.

We stayed at Villa Su Casa

We stayed at Villa Su Casa. The weather was bad when we were here and we lost power and water. Rachel was so attentive and ensured all was restored very promptly. The Villa was very clean and we felt if we had any problem that Rachel and team responded brilliantly.
Playa Blanca is only a ten minute walk and if we needed to leave the Villa all was on our doorstep. Look forward to coming back again.

Comfortable, private and fabulous!

This is our second time at Villa Maria. We love it! The villa has everything you could wish for to make a self catering holiday stress free. So many utensils, pans, plates and a dishwasher! Inside and outside the villa is comfortable, fabulous and the pool is just amazing. We will definitely return again.

First time with Optima Villas

First time with Optima Villas, having stayed in many Villas, in the SW Corner of Playa Blanca. Cannot fault the App, really 1st Class, and so informative, well done. Would strongly suggest a Handle to exit and enter the pool, 1st step is very narrow. Extremely clean on arrival, and Villa located in a quiet location.

No probs with Optima

No probs with Optima, booked with them for 3 years.
Second time in Villa Juabel for 3 weeks, nice quiet area about 25/30mins from Playa Blanca centre, however we felt it is in need of some upgrading/modernisation, especially
en suite showers.
Outdoor area is spacious, actual patio furniture needs replaced, some cushions were missing and others badly stained. Due to winds the area was covered in white paint flakes, also around fake grass was needing weeds removed.
Too expensive for next year given how tired it is.

Do not book

Do not book! Have planned and paid in full (a substantial amount) for a family holiday due to commence in 2 weeks. I was emailed ( not even a phone call!) this morning to say the property is no longer available!!! No call, no offer to accommodate us elsewhere. The office can not be contacted and they will not return my calls. This is supposed to be a ‘premier service’?

Dear Jen,
We're truly sorry for the disappointment this has caused to your holiday plans.
To provide some context: the cancellation was due to a significant water leak that flooded the lower level of the villa, rendering it uninhabitable for at least a month. This was an emergency discovered that day, and we contacted you immediately.
A follow-up call was planned for that afternoon — you called us first, and we were glad we were able to speak with you. We also processed a full refund on the same day and sent you a researched list of the best alternative we could offer you from a known provider, as we had nothing suitable available within our own portfolio.
We completely understand your frustration, and we wish the circumstances had been different. Our team acted as quickly and thoroughly as we could in a situation that was beyond anyone's control.
We remain available if you'd like to discuss anything further.
Kind regards,
The Optima Villas Team

3rd time in villa Dafne

3rd time in villa Dafne. We enjoyed it just as much as ever. Optima maintain the same high standards throughout.
Nice team and nice staff. We are already booked for the same dates next year.
We have mentiondd before but it would be nice to have one of these wind breakers on the right of the patio as you step out from the villa to make it more comfortable sitting out in the evening.
