Just to give a more balanced view on accomadation:
I actually like Holiday Villa's, location is good, 15 mins from the airport. My 3 bed apartment has probably more floor space than my house in the UK, all open plan, fully furnished, flat screen in the living room and master bedroom, 3 bathrooms, seperate air con in each room. Basement carpark out of the sun, good gym, nice pool (granted you only get the sun for 3 hours - but thats enough for me), 24hr room service at discount.
As for the security, the guys are very pleasant, I know many who have had wives, girlfriends and female friends to visit/stay - no problems.
Flying longhaul I don't intend to stay days on end twidling my thumbs watching TV, I've got hobbies that get my out and about.
It is what you make of it at the end of the day.
