Cabot Villa Can Borras

Pleasant
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Lots of space, great for a big group. The place was well stocked with towels, linen, toilet roll etc. The staff based at the neighbouring partner hotels were really friendly and helpful. Nice communal areas to choose from in the house, and the BBQ with outdoor heater was a great bonus, which we enjoyed using.
  : We were really, really unlucky with the weather for the whole of our stay (we travelled first week of April) - and unfortunately the house was absolutely freezing and everything felt really damp (including the bedding, which was really uncomfortable). The rooms do have heater/air conditioning units but these werent effective enough to make a big difference. Probably not a problem for most of the year but be warned if travelling out of peak season. Also, limited hot water so we all had to stagger our showers throughout the day.The smaller bedrooms are pretty pokey and if youre pushing the single beds together to make a double its pretty uncomfortable.Two main problems -The house and pool area are on a noisy, main road and completely surrounded by major building sites on three sides (none of this was in the pics so we were pretty disappointed), so wouldnt be the most peaceful or relaxing space if you were to sit out there on a nice day.Our biggest criticism is that this place really isnt child-friendly. The pool is completely unguarded and there are quite a few doors leading to the pool area and to the grounds of the property, including an exit onto the roof. The main stairs are curved, steep and hazardous and the floors are all slippery and marble. Also, lots of random steps in the house and pointy surface edges (e.g. the kitchen island). We had a three year old in our party and we were constantly on edge watching the stairs / corners / slippy floor / doors to the grounds and pool areas. Wanted to make this really clear to other families who might be considering booking.

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : the villa has so much to offer, a mix of families and friends we had a fab stay. the neighbouring reception at the apartments helped us with any hiccups we experienced and responded straight away to our enquiries. a thoroughly enjoyable stay ! thank you
  : a very minor point , the upstairs shower, lovely as it was , was prone to leaking . had to create a towel dam

Very Good

  : The help we recieved from the cabot apartments next door. They were fantastic and always happy to help.
  : My only comment if I had to make one is we wished we could have the sun longer around the pool area. The one large tree behind the pool blocked the sun from around 3.30pm which was a real shame around the pool and sun loungers so it was in the shade till late so we always went to the beach in the afternoons for the sun.

Very Good
Traveller Type:
  : great space inside, large kitchen and 2 big sitting areas large dining room, the upstairs bedroom and bathroom were excellent. outside space was great,big pool plenty of sun beds and cover for getting in the shade.
  : needed a few more comfy seats in the lounge kitchen looking a bit tired, no coffee machine apart from a pod one, lack of lighting or maybe just bulbs.

Poor
Traveller Type:
  : The bad outweighed the good. Villa, nearby shops, beach and restaurants all good.
  : Building sites BOTH sides of the house which meant building noise from 8am to 6 pm every working day and builders overlooking the property. Hopeless for a relaxing vacation.

Disappointing
Traveller Type:
  : Location, space
  : Building work going on both sides of the villa that we were not made aware of. Noise from wagons and workmen all day until 20.00 in the evening. Concrete dust blown off roof by contractors into our swimming pool

Good
Traveller Type:
  : The villa was in a good location only a short walk to the beach. The apartments Cabot Las Velas next door where we collected the keys were really good and helpful, we also used the facilities there which were really nice and the staff were very helpful.
  : The Villa is quite dated and could do with some renovation. On arrival it smelt very damp and musty. The pool could have been cleaner.

Very Good
Traveller Type:

  : Villa is a little dated, and the kitchen wasnt very well equipped would benefit from some decent knives, couple of tea towels and more utensils etc.
