Wintersun Getaway to Playa Blanca
I booked us to stay at the Villas Kamezi just outside Playa Blanca - we just wanted a few days of relaxation and heat & it was perfect !
We flew with Jet2 and I can't rate them enough for comfort & service onboard - I booked a package with them so we had transfers included as part of it. Coach transfers are really handy to have included but there is definitely waiting almost always involved and as it had been a few years since I had been on a traditional package trip - I had forgotten about the waiting around !
The Villas Kamezi are a short drive outside of Playa Blanca - about 45 minute or so walk round to resort - or 5 minute taxi ride that averaged around €7-8 each way. We had a villa with private heated pool as well as a roof top terrace and it was perfect for us ! It had a bbq out on the patio and plenty of seating areas. The complex has a gym, spa, deli and onsite speciality restaurant. Every villa has parking spaces available so if you wanted to hire a car and be more adventurous around the island this is a great base for you as well. Staff were super helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them.
This was my first time staying in Playa Blanca and I really liked it - we dined out every night and the value for money in the local restaurants was really impressive.
It was the first time I have travelled this close to Christmas - but won't be the last - being away in the heat while it was freezing at home was a treat. In fact when we landed back at Belfast International it was so cold that my car was frozen shut !
