Review of Villa Vista Reina in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote

At the end of March we took a trip to Lanzarote to get some winter sun. I’d been the year before and loved getting away from grey England to some much-needed Vitamin C. This year, my boyfriend, toddler, and I, stayed in the fab Villa Vista Reina in Playa Blanca – not far from all the fun of Flamingo Beach. Here’s my review…

Reggie, Ben and I arrived at Villa Vista Reina, in the Vista Lobos area, desperate to not be on any kind of transport any longer. It’d been a long day!

Maria, the villa rep was there, ready and waiting to greet us with a smile and the keys to relaxation. She helped us with our bags as we ascended up the stairs to the front door at Villa Vista Reina.

Oh it was good to be inside!

And Champagne? For us? Go on then.

The villa already looked great – Maria took us on a house tour around everything we needed and wanted for our 5 days away.

Sleeping at Villa Vista Reina

Villa Vista Reina is a 6-bed villa. The best two rooms were upstairs (bag those ones quick!) but we wanted to be downstairs as I already had my eye on the bunk bed room for my son. At two years old, and almost a metre tall already, I always worry where and how he’s going to sleep when we go away.

He’s still in a large cot at home, but he’s well past a travel cot.

I’d studied the photos of the villa online, and thought if I could turn the bunk bed round, he could sleep in there – with a barrier to stop him falling out. It worked perfectly. And he loved having all the space. He affectionately named it ‘New Bed’.
