I had a... More

We have just returned from a weeks holiday at Villanova. After reading a few negative reviews we were a little nervous about what we would find, but from the minute we arrived it was brilliant.

Was very expensive many years ago but at the time the accommodation was quite modern, over the years the rooms have not changed much but the price has reduced. The pool is superb and would always suggest that people stay in the... More

In all honesty after reading some of the reviews I was a little worried about what we'd find. I knew this complex had been around a while and I knew the reputation of the Strip wasn't what I wanted for my kids. However I'd booked the holiday banking on the fact that the Strip would be quiet out of season.... More
