Our stay at the Palms in early June was extremely pleasant. Our two bedroom apartment was well furnished and central and we made good use of the roof top sunloungers. The kitchen was well fitted out, although we ate out most of the time - there is a good restaurant on site and many others within easy reach. The pool... More

It is located about 10 to 15 minutes walk from the town of Carveiro and although the average taxi fare from the town... More

We visited this resort on a timeshare exchange via RCI. The resort comprises approx. 74 units being 2 bedroom townhouses. It is situated atop some cliffs overlooking the sea.
