Escape to Paradise: Belvilla's Luxury Altos del Golf Manilva!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a review of the "Escape to Paradise: Belvilla's Luxury Altos del Golf Manilva!" And trust me, it's not all sunshine and sangria. We're gonna get REAL, okay? Forget the curated Instagram posts, this is the raw, unvarnished truth.
First things first, Accessibility. Now, I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert on wheelchair accessibility, but let me tell you what I saw. From what I gathered, the elevator access was there (thank GOD!), and the general layout seemed like it would be manageable for someone with mobility issues. BUT - and this is a big but – I didn't personally test it, so take that with a grain of salt. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which could mean anything (again, research!), but the presence of an elevator is a good start. I didn't see any ramps that I can recall, but didn't search for them either.
Internet, Internet, Glorious Internet. Let's be honest, in 2024, Wi-Fi is practically oxygen. And thank the heavens, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And in public areas, too. I mean, I need to upload those poolside selfies, right? The Internet [LAN] option is there too (remember those?!). So, connectivity is pretty darn solid.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax – Cue the drool. Oh, baby, this is where things get interesting. They've got a Pool with a View. And not just any pool, a gorgeous one. I spent a solid afternoon just floating, staring at the landscape, and pretending my worries didn't exist. Sauna, Spa, Steamroom – the whole hot-and-sweaty shebang! I hit the Spa/Sauna, and, let's just say, my stress levels plummeted faster than my bank account after a particularly enthusiastic shopping spree. Massage was also a must-do. Honestly, the masseuse could have been rubbing my feet with sandpaper, and I wouldn't have cared. Pure bliss. There's a Fitness Center/Gym, which, fine, I looked at it. Didn't actually use it, but the thought was there! They also have Body Scrub, Body Wrap, what about a Foot bath?!
Cleanliness and Safety – The Pandemic Aftermath. Okay, so they're going hard on the safety. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere you look, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Staff trained in safety protocol. Makes you feel like you can actually breathe without worrying. Physical distancing of at least 1 meter is also listed (whether enforced or not is another question). They also had First aid kit and a Doctor/nurse on call. They even have Cashless payment service. I saw Staff trained in safety protocol, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Hand sanitizer, which were pretty reassuring. I didn't notice anyone actually measuring the 1-meter distance, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – My Happy Place. Now, let's talk food, shall we? They have Restaurants, several, actually. A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], you get the picture. The Poolside bar was my go-to. Sipping cocktails while lounging by the pool? Yes, please! They also had a Snack bar for your midday cravings. And Coffee shop for my caffeine fix. Breakfast service was also there (Western and Asian), which I appreciated. The Happy hour was a lifesaver after a long day of intense relaxation. Speaking about food, I noticed an Alternative meal arrangement, I'm not sure what this means, but if it means you want something specially made, they can help!
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things. They've got you covered. Concierge to help with everything. Daily housekeeping (thank you, sweet angels!). Laundry service and Dry cleaning (because, let's be real, who wants to do laundry on vacation?). Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Currency exchange, Cash withdrawal. No stone unturned!
For the Kids – Keeping the Little Monsters Entertained. Babysitting service and Kids meal, which, as a non-parent, is beyond my pay grade of understanding.
Available in All Rooms – My Personal Paradise. Okay, the rooms. They're pretty damn impressive. Air conditioning, which is a MUST in Spain, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Coffee/tea maker (essential!), Free bottled water, Mini bar, In-room safe box, Hair dryer. My room had a Window that opens (I NEED fresh air!). I felt great, and safe.
Getting Around – Navigating the Unknown. Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site] (helpful!), Airport transfer, and Taxi service. Getting around is easy peasy!
The Anecdote: The Poolside Debacle (and triumph!)
Okay, so remember that gorgeous pool I was raving about? Yeah, well, one afternoon, I decided to be extra ambitious. I ordered a cocktail from the Poolside Bar, grabbed my book, and settled in for some serious sun-worship. I was living the dream. Until… disaster struck.
I’m lounging, reading, enjoying life, and bam! The waiter trips. A cascade of fruity, colorful, alcoholic deliciousness hits me. Full on, head to toe. I mean, I was SOAKED. I could taste the mojito. I was mortified. I wanted to disappear.
BUT, the staff? AMAZING. They were so apologetic. They immediately brought me towels, more cocktails (duh!), and even upgraded my room. I did a quick change, went back out, and decided the best way to deal with the situation was to laugh. And laugh, I did. The accident, the mess, the apology… it was all so over-the-top that I found it hilarious. It’s a memory I’ll never forget! It made for a great story, and the way the staff handled it perfectly, making a disaster into a memorable experience!
More than just a place to stay!
It's about the experience. It's about the memories. And that, my friends, is what counts, right?
My Verdict: Book It, You Won't Regret It (Probably!)

Escape to Paradise: Stunning Blankenberge Apartment with Private Terrace!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly-planned itinerary. We're heading to Belvilla by OYO Altos del Golf Manilva, Spain… and let's just say, things might get a little… unstructured.
Manilva Madness: A Human's Guide to Altos del Golf (and Surviving It)
This is less a rigid schedule and more a series of aspirations heavily influenced by my current mood (which, let's be honest, is largely fueled by cheap airport coffee).
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Villa Unveiling (Cue the Dramatic Music)
- Morning (Approx 10:00 AM - Whenever the Flight Actually LANDS): Pray to the Travel Gods. I'm a nervous flyer. My pre-flight ritual involves obsessively checking my passport, multiple bathroom breaks, and mentally composing my obituary just in case. Landing in Malaga… wish us luck.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - The Great Scavenger Hunt for the Villa): Rental car, check (hopefully that little hatchback doesn't break down on the mountain roads). GPS, cross your fingers. The drive to Altos del Golf… well, it's supposed to be scenic. Which means, for me, a mix of breathtaking views and frantic Googling "how to change a tire" on my phone. The important thing is to arrive at Belvilla and discover if the pictures live up to the hype. I'm expecting a pool, a view, and hopefully, air conditioning.
- Early Evening (Depends on How Lost We Get): Villa Inspection! This is where the real drama begins. Is the place clean? Is the Wi-Fi actually working (crucial for Instagram updates, obviously)? Are there enough wine glasses? (The most important question, frankly). Expect a whirlwind tour of the villa, punctuated by loud sighs of relief or panicked calls to Belvilla customer service (depending on the state of the plumbing).
- Evening (8:00 PM -ish, depending on siesta): First meal! I'm hoping to stumble upon a local tapas bar for a proper introduction to Spanish food (and wine). I've got visions of sizzling prawns, crusty bread, and a very, very large glass of red. The only potential problem: my Spanish is worse than my driving skills, so wish me luck deciphering the menu. If it all goes horribly wrong? There's always a supermarket for emergency cheese and crackers. (Priorities.)
Day 2: Poolside Perfection (and a Little Bit of Panic)
- Morning (8:00 AM - Ideally): Wake up, stumble out of bed, and immediately head for the pool. This is the dream, people. Sun, water, book, utter blissful inaction. I'm envisioning myself as a glamorous, relaxed figure, a vision of Mediterranean serenity. Reality probably involves me trying to balance a sun hat, a book, and a half-eaten pastry, while simultaneously dodging rogue pool toys.
- Mid-morning (When the Sun Gets Serious): Sunscreen application extravaganza. This is a serious business. I'm pale, I'm prone to burning, and I'm not trying to look like a boiled lobster on day two. I will slather myself in SPF 50+ like a religious ritual.
- Lunch (Whenever Hunger Strikes): Light lunch by the pool. Perhaps a sandwich, some fruit, and another large glass of something cold and refreshing. I feel like I'm mastering the art of relaxation.
- Afternoon (Fear of the Sun): Another dip in the pool - because you know that once you get in it you don't want to get out. I plan on taking a nap by the pool. I'm thinking about getting a book for my vacation.
- Evening (7:00 PM): I'm hoping to find a restaurant to have dinner. Maybe a lovely restaurant.
Day 3: The Beach Blunder (and the Unexpected Beauty)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Beach day! The plan: golden sands, turquoise water, and a healthy dose of vitamin D. The reality: probably a battle with a rogue beach umbrella, sand EVERYWHERE, and a sunburn I'll regret for weeks. I'm prepared for it.
- Midday (Post-Beach Survival): Showering the sand off will be my primary goal. Possibly buying a hat that actually works.
- Early Afternoon (Optional): Exploring the local town and seeing what it's got to offer. I'm hoping to stumble upon a cute little cafe with delicious coffee and a view, you know, the ones that are Instagrammable.
- Evening (7:00 PM): More tapas! This time, I'm determined to try something new, even if I can't pronounce it. Maybe some paella? Maybe a complete dietary disaster? Who knows! But I'm going to embrace the mystery.
- Late Night (Any time after meal): A leisurely stroll along the beach at sunset (if I haven't been defeated by the sand). We can admire the beauty of the moment or whatever (while secretly checking Instagram).
Day 4: Excursion (and Potential Disaster)
- Morning (10:00 AM, give or take): I'm thinking of visiting Ronda - that famous town perched on the cliffs! A little exploring, some history, and a lot of photo opportunities. This could be an adventurous day, but I'm also a little scared of heights.
- Lunch (In Ronda): Finding a spot with a killer view (and good food) is a must. I'll need to replenish my energy after dodging the crowds of tourists.
- Afternoon (Back to base): Swimming? Reading? Doing nothing? I've learned that I can't schedule relaxation.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Back for dinner. With the experience, I've learned that it's okay to be flexible and change plans.
Day 5: Relaxation and Goodbyes
- Morning: I will probably spend the morning at the pool, just relaxing and being myself.
- Lunch Last lunch at the villa.
- Afternoon: Packing and preparing for the flight.
- Evening: Say goodbye to this lovely place.
Important Notes (Because I’m Trying to Be at Least Slightly Organized):
- Food: Pack snacks. Lots of snacks. Because you never know.
- Sunscreen: See above. Seriously.
- Phrasebook: Learn at least a few basic Spanish phrases. "Where's the bathroom?" is usually a good starting point.
- Flexibility: Embrace the chaos. The best travel memories often come from the unexpected detours.
- Emergency chocolate: Always a good idea.
- Most Importantly: Have fun! Don't take anything too seriously. And remember, even if everything goes wrong, you're still on vacation.
So, there you have it. My highly-unstructured, likely-to-be-chaotic, and hopefully-entertaining itinerary for Altos del Golf. Now, let's see if I can actually stick to it. Wish me luck! (And send wine.)
