The villas do look lovely though. If you are after a suite, La Geria has some and they are really good

@@brionaclinton6800 It is quite a walk to PDC strip and a little hilly. You can get a taxi from reception and it's about 4 Euro to the strip. There's a few restaurants and a Spar nearby but again it's a bit of a hill back up to Hyde Park. There's another video on my channel about it's location and distance to the beach. I liked Hyde Park but probably wouldn't stay there again due to it's location and my wife has walking difficuties. Our favourite place to stay is Las Gavitas in Matagorda (block 2), booked there again for August. I'm off to Corfu for a week at the beginning of May so will be uploading some videos of that.
