Regarding Villa AH2311 situated in Port Pollenca on Majorca:
We booked a "luxurious" villa through Azure Holidays from July 14th to 21st 2018. We had planned this trip a year in advance, assembling a family reunion from all over the world.
The rental cost for the villa was 拢10,386 for the week and, frankly, the villa did not meet our expectations.
Prior to our arrival at the villa, we had paid a deposit to Azure to rent baby equipment (cots, travel seats etc). A representative from Azure later advised that an independent company would better meet our needs and would therefore refund our deposit. We eventually received our deposit after 3 phone calls, 2 emails over a 3 months period.
On arrival to the villa (Saturday July 14th), the owner of the villa was present, along with manager of the property, checked us in and made a point to personally hand us his business card, asking us to refer friends, and to contact him if there were any issues that arose during our stay and the response from the management company was unsatisfactory .
We immediately noted that house was not adequately cleaned with garbage under some of the beds and on the main balcony. Air conditioning was not working in 3 of the bedrooms. There was also grafitti on a wall next to the outdoor pool-house.
We contacted the management company (the owner was not contactable despite several attempts during the entire holiday) of the villa immediately to fix the air conditioning who informed us that the electrician does not work weekends. It was 32 degrees celsius at night. The manager arrived late on Saturday night, with a terrible attitude, stating "in my opinion it is not very warm and you can just leave the windows open". It was a circuit breaker issue and he was able to resolve 2 of the A/C units however one bedroom remained without a functioning A/C. He informed us that he would be back on Monday to fix the remaining unit..However it was not "fixed"..until halfway through our holiday (Wednesday). The A/C unit leaked water everyday onto the floor which was hazardous for those sleeping in the bedroom.
On more than one occasion when the electrician visited the property, he left the security gate open leaving direct access from the main road to the pool, the house and where our small children were playing.
Despite the numerous disappointing aforementioned issues, the final straw came when the property representative arrived to complete the check out. Our party were immediately summoned to the pool area, the manager began pointing out the graffiti and accused our party of defacing the property. The eldest infant in our party was 2 years old and was not tall enough to reach the graffiti and furthermore would not have had the coordination to carry out such an illustration. When we pointed these facts out, he became extremely aggressive, branding one of our party a liar repeatedly. Incredibly unprofessional.
We left our vacation feeling frustrated, disappointed and, ultimately, feeling robbed of our luxury holiday experience that we worked so hard to plan.
When we returned from our "holiday" we contacted Azure to detail our experience and were told by Azure that they were "appalled" to hear of the treatment we received and would furnish us with a full explanation from both the owner and the management team. We were assured that action would be taken.
We did not receive an update nor was there any action taken.
We have stayed in luxury villas all over the world and have never been subjected to such treatment nor have we had such poor follow up from a travel agency such as Azure Holidays. Our advice- DO NOT BOOK WITH AZURE HOLIDAYS

We loved the holiday so much we've rebooked for February !

They told us we had to book a villa they recommended nearly a year in advance
Without telling us it was about to be sold
They took our final balance after it was sold and the new owners wouldn't take our booking.
We had 18 flights booked over the 3 weeks we were having the villa for, all of which unrefundable
They then offered us another villa that they said they were subsidising as a form of compensation
We were offered the same villa at a cheaper price by another 2 agents. I.e. They were talking rubbish
These guys lie and are totally awful with a post sales
They just want the initial sell
The owner is the worst
Beware …..
,
Subsequent enquiries are always promptly and professionally dealt with and we have just returned from our second trip arranged by them.
I will always go to Azure first when thinking about a new trip.

The staff are very helpful and quick to recommend villas that they feel would be ideal for your requirements but still giving you a range of options to choose from.
When we first booked we were a little concerned as we had not heard of them before and they were not ABTA bonded but after several conversations and paying by credit card we felt slept a little easier. We have now booked for the third time which speaks volumes!
Azure have a great range of villas for small and larger parties and small and large budgets.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Azure Holidays as we now don't look anywhere else.

When the usual change in flight times raised a few worries, we were advised that we could leave our luggage at the property until it was ready for us, and that we could stay for as long as needed on our final day because we had a late flight and the next occupants weren't due until two days later, such a relief!! Otherwise they would find us somewhere comfortable for a couple of hours. There's nothing worse than being turfed out at 10am with your luggage and not flying until 6pm.
The welcome at our villa was wonderful. The whole place was immaculate, and Julie welcomed us literally with open arms and a hug along with a gratefully appreciated plate of freshly made sandwiches and a fridge full of essentials. We were so grateful at not having to trudge off to find supplies after a very early start and long flight. We couldn't fault this company and would thoroughly recommend them for their friendliness, sound advice and helpfulness.

In fact the Villa management part was excellent. We had two issues with the villa both of which were sorted out within a few hours of them being reported!!!
Only one issue was that Azure took the 拢400 security deposit but forgot to pay it back. Luckily I noticed this and it was refunded immediately.
I would definitely use them again.

This apartment is very nice just what myself and my sister needed for our stay, very central location just in walking distance from most shopping places, eating places and of ourcoursr Hard Rock Cafe. Also at the reception you can book your excursions Lito parquet is a must! The apartment is exactly like the photos all nice and clean and the bathroom was lovely. would defiantly recommend this apartment as it was very central and accessible, also azure holidays made it so easy and simple to book this apartment
Thanks for a fab stay in this apartment

Only issue is had to chase a couple of times (still awaiting refund of pool heating) which I shouldn't have to do.

The villa sits higher too, so we weren't overlooked by anyone else, and it faces south-west onto the golf course so the sun was always in the garden. Outside space is super comfy, lovely large long outdoor table for lunches and dinners and comfy sofas outside one of the living rooms. Hot water on demand, great showers, pool heating, outside grill.
The housekeeper is one of the nicest people and also a brilliant housekeeper. and the House Manager was super efficient and friendly too.
Super close to all amenities of Quinta do Lago, shopping, golf, restaurants and beach all within cycling distance.
We dealt with Iain at Azure for our villa rental. He was friendly and efficient from the start. He was always responsive to phone calls and emails, and was able to sort out anything we asked for.
Nothing was too much trouble for him and our villa rental experience went without a hitch.
I cannot recommend Azure (and Iain) highly enough. We are using them next year and wouldn't even think of changing villa companies in the future.
Best villa experience in the past 6 years of renting villas. We are returning to this villa next year!
