diamond villas

Very excellent and helpful Egyptian worker

Distinctive villas, excellent location, very close services, high level of cleanliness and excellent treatment. Thank you very much

Booked a 2 bedroom through Jet2Villas but was pleasantly surprised to be given a 3 bedroom (No.4). This villa seems to be the most private of the four in this group. First impressions were awesome. You enter via a rear door to the kitchen/dining which is open-plan to lounge and patio doors to veranda/pool. The downstairs bedroom "suite" is massive with a huge bed and a decent-sized en-suite also with patio doors to veranda & pool. Upstairs, there's a further two bedrooms (one twin and the other double with patio doors to a balcony), and a smaller bathroom. All of the bedrooms have large wardrobes. The kitchen is adequately equipped and we received a welcome pack in the fridge. Once the initial wowness wore off, it was evident the villa is a bit tired. Bathrooms could do with a refresh with better shower screens as the water still ended up on the floor (slip hazard). We were also a bit bemused about maintenance workers turning up unannounced - the pool guy most mornings and the gardener one afternoon. The leaf blower blowing up dust meant we couldn't lay by the pool until he was finished. Overall, I had a very enjoyable time and would probably return but not without considering other similar villas first.

The villas are okay but nothing special, the swimming pool is well maintained and great for cooling down but the local beach is no good for anyone wanting a regular swim in the sea, as it’s full of massive rocks. If you have a rental car you can travel to Potima beach but then again without sand shoes you will cut your feet to ribbons on the sharp pebbles. The sea is extremely fierce making swimming a challenge and dangerous with the undercurrents. A better place to swim is round the coast in Akrotiri Bay. As for Diamond Villas it is surrounded by properties with dogs that compete with each other to see who can bark the loudest, not the thing you need for a relaxing holiday.

The houses are clean and well maintained, the place is remote and peaceful and has a unique atmosphere. The person who accommodated us is extremely responsive and considerate. We were all fascinated.
