Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Holiday House Awaits in Spain!
Escape to Paradise: My Honest (and Slightly Messy) Take on This Dream Holiday House in Spain!
Okay, so, Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Holiday House Awaits in Spain!… the name alone is enough to make you fantasize about swaying palms and a seriously good tan. And honestly, after my stay, I'm mostly still fantasizing. Let's dive in, because honey, this place has layers. Forget those cookie-cutter reviews – this is the real deal, warts and all.
First Impressions: Getting There & Getting Settled (Accessibility & General Setup)
Alright, so, "Accessibility" is HUGE for me, and I want to be super honest about this. The website claims it's accessible, but you know how that goes, right? "Wheelchair accessible" can mean a lot of things. While I didn't travel with anyone needing full accessibility, the general layout felt pretty doable, with elevators (thank goodness!) and ramps where you'd expect them. But, and this is a big but, double-check with the hotel beforehand. Details are key. Having to navigate stairs after a flight is NOT my idea of paradise.
The "Getting Around" bit is easy. Airport transfer? Check. Car park? Huge check, and it's free! Score. Valet parking? Fancy! (But I’m not fancy, I'm just me.) I’m thinking they've got the basic transport stuff VERY sorted.
And speaking of basic… "Check-in/out [express]" – yes, please! Especially after a long flight. No one wants to deal with paperwork when they’re dreaming of a cold drink by the pool.
The Digs: Rooms & Creature Comforts (Oh, the Wi-Fi!)
So, the rooms, what's the lowdown? Honestly? They nailed it. "Non-smoking rooms," "air conditioning" (essential!), and "Blackout curtains" (perfect for those epic siestas). I’m also a sucker for "Complimentary tea," because sometimes, you just need a cuppa. (And "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" THANK YOU, sweet, sweet angels). Seriously, I’ve been to places were the Wi-Fi died quicker than my hopes of actually finishing my novel on vacation.
My room had everything: a "mini-bar" (hello, celebratory Prosecco!); "Separate shower/bathtub" (luxury!); and an "In-room safe box." Crucially, I could open a window, a massive thumbs up for me. They had a "reading light," perfect for when you end up reading until 3am because you can't sleep from all the excitement.
The pillows, though… they were amazing. It's the little things, you know?
Food, Glorious Food (Dining, Drinking & Snacking)
Alright, let’s talk about the real reason we travel: food. This is where Escape to Paradise truly shines, honestly. Starting with the "Breakfast [buffet]" – pure bliss. Think a mountain of pastries, fresh fruit that burst with flavor, and seriously good coffee. They had a "Vegetarian restaurant," which catered to my vegetarian travel buddy, and Asian cuisine, which was a great discovery.
The "Restaurants" in general had such a great vibe. I loved the "Poolside bar" for my daily "Happy hour" escapades .The a la carte restaurant was just a great touch.
Relaxation & Rejuvenation: The Spa & Beyond
Okay, prepare for a stream-of-consciousness, because this is the part where I fully indulged. The "Pool with view"…. breathtaking. Seriously, I could have stayed there forever.
Now, about the "Spa/sauna"… this is where things got very interesting. I opted for a "Body scrub" followed by a "Massage". The masseuse, she had magic fingers! Seriously, all those nagging knots in my shoulders? Gone! Poof! Vanished! I felt like I had been reborn! Then I explored the "Spa/sauna", and the "Steamroom," and I felt my stress literally melting away. The place was really good, very clean, and super chill.
And the "Gym/fitness" center? Well… let’s just say I intended to go. I did, however, take the stairs, and then I just sat on a sunbed with a book.
Cleanliness & Safety: The Important Bits
Okay, so, in our post-apocalyptic world, the important stuff, right? "Anti-viral cleaning products"? Check. "Hand sanitizer" EVERYWHERE? Check. "Staff trained in safety protocol"? Good. "Rooms sanitized between stays"? Double-check. The hotel really takes this seriously, and honestly, that's a huge relief. I felt safe and secure throughout my entire stay.
The Extras: Services & Conveniences
They really did think of everything here. "Concierge"? "Cash withdrawal"? "Laundry service"? All present and accounted for. A "Convenience store" came in handy when I suddenly craved a particular brand of chocolate at 11 pm. Plus, the "luggage storage" area… a lifesaver on checkout day.
For the Kids (If You're Into That Sort of Thing)
I'm not a parent myself, but I noticed that they had "Kids facilities" and a "Babysitting service." So, if you're traveling with the little ones, it seems they've got you covered.

**Ibis Styles Nantes Rezé Aéroport: Your Dream Nantes Getaway Awaits!**
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your sterile, meticulously crafted travel itinerary. This is the raw, unfiltered account of my impending adventure to Holiday House In Chayofa Casa La Isla 2 in Spain. Expect detours, meltdowns (hopefully not my own…though you never know!), and enough tapas to clog a small artery. Consider yourselves warned.
The Pre-Trip Panic (and the "Why Did I Agree to This?" Phase)
- Week Before: Okay, so I thought I booked flights. Turns out, I mentally "booked" them. Cue the frantic clicking, the price gouging, and the existential dread that I’m going to miss the entire trip. Found a semi-reasonable flight, but my luggage weight allowance is starting to resemble a cruel joke. Currently wrestling with the age-old question: do I really need five pairs of shoes? (The answer, of course, is yes.)
- Packing Disaster: My suitcase currently resembles a chaotic explosion of fabric. I mean, who actually folds their clothes? More crucial questions: Where's my passport?! Did I even get a travel adapter?! and does anyone know how to prevent airline-induced ear pain?!. Oh the Joy.
The Arrival and Initial Bliss (Before the Wheels Fall Off)
Day 1: Chayofa! We Made It (Kind Of!)
- Morning: Flight. Prayed to the travel gods for a smooth landing (they mostly listened!), navigated the baggage carousel (a true test of endurance), and somehow ended up with all my limbs and suitcase. The Spanish air practically sizzled with promise.
- Afternoon: Taxi to Casa La Isla 2. The drive was a blur of scenic beauty, palm trees, and my increasingly frantic attempts to understand the driver’s rapid-fire Spanish. The house itself…wow. The pictures didn't do it justice. That view! I think I might just sit here and stare for the next week.
- Evening: Unpacked (mostly, let's be real) and wandered the neighborhood on my very first shopping spree. Found the local supermarket, bought way too much food, and attempted to say "gracias" with something resembling confidence. (It probably sounded like I was choking on a fishbone.) Dinner on the balcony, watching the sunset. Absolute perfection.
Day 2: The Pool, the Pain, and the Promise of Paella.
- Morning: Officially declared the pool my new best friend. Spent the morning attempting to read a book while simultaneously trying to master the art of floating without looking like a beached whale. Success (mostly).
- Afternoon: Disaster struck. My back decided to stage a coup. Suddenly, I’m 80 years old and moving at the speed of a sloth. Cue the ibuprofen overdose and the desperate search for a decent massage.
- Evening: Hired the local chef as a result of my backache and managed to eat the most delicious paella the entire time I was there. Found a charming little restaurant, ordered way too much wine, and watched the world go by. Feeling slightly less creaky, and infinitely happier.
Day 3: A Day Trip to Los Gigantes (and a Near-Death Experience with a Seagull)
- Morning: Got up early in response to my back feeling a bit better!. The cliffs were breathtaking, the boat trip was a treat.
- Afternoon: Visited a local market. Found amazing souvenirs. But the real highlight? The seagulls. I might have gotten way too close to a particularly aggressive specimen while trying to steal a bite of my (very delicious) baguette. Almost lost an eye in the process. Lesson learned: respect the local wildlife, especially when they have talons.
- Evening: Back at the house, nursing my (slightly bruised) ego and wondering if I should invest in bird-proof headgear.
Doubling Down: That Incredible Day in Teide National Park (And Why I Might Actually Be a Mountain Goat)
Okay, let's talk about Teide National Park. Forget everything else for a minute. This was not just a day trip; it was an experience. Forget the slightly dodgy rental car and the near-constant fear of driving on the wrong side of the road. Those are minor details. This was pure, unadulterated, breathtaking beauty.
We started early, the sun just beginning to paint the sky with gold. As we drove up the winding mountain roads, the landscape transformed. Gone were the palm trees and the beaches; replaced by a vast, otherworldly expanse of volcanic rock and rugged terrain. The higher we got, the thinner the air became. I felt like I was on another planet.
We hiked. And let me tell you, I'm not exactly what you'd call a seasoned hiker. But the views…oh, the views! We scrambled over rocks, teetered on the edge of cliffs, and (at one point) I even let loose a little yelp when I saw a particularly precarious drop-off. But the effort, the altitude, the sheer scale of the place…it's something I'll never forget.
We reached the summit. We were greeted with a panorama of craters, and clouds. The world just spread out before us. I was struck with awe and I teared up! It was an incredibly humbling experience, and it made me feel small but also incredibly alive.
The descent was a mixture of exhaustion and elation. We stopped at a tiny cafe for lunch, where I devoured a sandwich the size of my head. The sheer beauty of the place had completely erased the slight headache that altitude had left me with.
The Crumbling Bridge (and the Unforeseen Delights of Being Lost)
Day 4: The Charm of Garachico and the Quest for the Perfect Tapas
- Morning: decided to go on a trip to Garachico. What a quirky little town! The natural pools were fantastic!
- Afternoon: My GPS. I had the "bright" idea to be adventurous and explore some backroads. Cue getting horribly, spectacularly lost. Realized I missed the sign for the exit. My phone's battery died. Started to panic. Needed to ask for help. But there were no locals and no signs. Walked around the corner and saw something. An old bridge. It was a beautiful but slightly scary sight! I felt like I was in a movie. I quickly learned how to ask for directions from the locals and found my way back.
- Evening: After my disastrous detour, I had one mission: to find the best tapas in Chayofa. (Mission accomplished, thank goodness.
Day 5: A Day of Rest and Reckoning (With My Laundry Pile)
- Morning: Sleep in! Oh, glorious sleep.
- Afternoon: Facing the mountain of laundry that had accumulated. Decided to embrace the chaos.
- Evening: Enjoyed the sunset on the terrace with a glass of wine, and a newfound appreciation for clean clothes.
The Goodbye Blues (and the Unspoken Promises of a Return Trip)
Day 6: Farewell and a last taste of the island.
- Morning: Last trip to the beach.
- Afternoon: Packing. I stared at my suitcase, and just couldn't face it.
- Evening: Dinner at a restaurant I hadn't tried yet. Said goodbye to the island, the sun, my new favorite people, and everything else that was amazing.
Day 7: The Journey Home (and the Post-Holiday Hangover)
- Morning: Quick breakfast. Headed to the airport.
- Afternoon: Flight. Tired, a little disoriented, and already dreaming of my next trip.
- Evening: Home. Unpacked the suitcase. Started planning the next trip!
Final Thoughts (Because I Can't Help Myself)
This trip wasn't perfect. I got lost. I definitely ate way too much. I may or may not have accidentally offended a local with my terrible Spanish. But it was perfect to ME. It was an adventure, a chance to unplug, and a reminder that life is too short to be anything but a little bit messy and incredibly joyful. Until next time, Spain… you haven’t seen the last of me.
