Just got back from this hotel and i have to say i was impressed. I wasnt too confident when i booked it as it was very cheap but the cost just added to making this a great holiday. The 1st thing that struck me was how clean the place was, it was spotless. We booked it hoping for a very... More

We arrived on the Monday morning and were taken directly to our apartment - they had just opened for the season. The apartments are more than adequate, sleeping 4. The kitchenette and shower cubicle are a bit on the small size. The big pluses for us (60+) are the quiet location, well serviced apartments which were just a 15 minute... More

We returned on 22nd April. Had a 1 bed apartment which was spotless as was the whole complex. All staff were friendly and really helpful. Evenings were chilly but extra bedding was available. A 20 minute walk to beach and supermarket/restarants but well worth it. Our only negative surprise as a first timer to Portugal was the 'Strip', one word.......TACKY,... More

We stayed in a little studio for 2 which was simple but adequate for what we wanted as we were out most days. A little chilly at night due to the disappointingly cold weather but plenty of blankets supplied to keep warm and loads of hot water for showers. The gardens are lovely and well maintained giving a really nice... More

Just returned from a very pleasant break - stayed in a one bed apt - 2 adults and 2 kids - spotlessly clean spacious apartment and pool, very relaxed and friendly - a little distant from the main tourist zones - but we prefer this - local bus service runs every half hour - taxis cheap - will return again

The actual appartments are spacious, suitably equipped and the staff are all very pleasant and helpful, I found the beds (being 6ft+) small (2ft-6" wide) and short and unpleasantly hard, tossed and turned most nights, Location wise nice and quiet, but wished we had researched more throughly as 1km from nearest supermarket and eating place and 2km from beach, if...

Stayed here in july 2011, it was the first holiday away with my partner and it couldnt have been more enjoyable. It is a 15-20 min walk down to the strip which we could do easily but someone older or with mobility problems may struggle. The apartment we stayed in was an adequate size for what we needed. Kitchen had... More
