“Nice and relaxing”

The condo was, lovely, clean and spacious. Not very insulated as you could hear people talking during the evenings and night but it wasn't a problem as it didn't continue until the early hours. The kitchen was well equipped and all utensils were very clean. We were on the ground floor which was perfect for us with a toddler. He was able to run in and out as and when he pleased. The balcony had garden furniture and a clothes airer, the balcony backed onto a green with sun lounges and space for children to run around. The pool area was nice to relax by but not to swim in as the water was quite cold. Not too bad for an adult to get used to but I had to take my toddler out after a few minutes as he was shivering. We got a few takeaways from the restaurant which were o.k. The shop was handy to pick up a few last minute items but we tended to use the supermarket which was approximatley 10 minutes walk. We found all the staff to be very friendly.

“Wonderful experience - even more so at the price we paid!”

Following a drunken girls night we decided on a short break to start the sun off. We couldnt have made a better decision. The hotel is extremely clean and friendly. The apartments are well equipped and although the beds are a little hard they are not the worst we have stayed in. The grounds are very well maintained and the pool was spotless. There is garden furniture for each apartment including sunloungers and the front gardens are relatively private for sunbathing. As we were "out of season" (last week of April) we had the pool to ourselves for the first 2 days. The hotel run a free minibus down to the town/beach which runs until 6pm and the driver took us down and arranged a time to pick us back up. A taxi to the town is only 5 euros. A supermarket is within easy walking distance as is a range of restaurants and take-aways. We can recommend Porters in Armacao de Pera (nearest town), we had steak on a stone and the hanging kebabs, both of which were superb. The ice-creams from the specialist shops are to die for, especially the Chocolate Brownie one!!! The whole area is definitely a place that we will revisit and this hotel is an excellent base from which to explore. Although if you just want to be a sun-worshipper it is pleasant enough to veg out in. We used Algarve365 for our transport from Faro Airport which was brilliant service, booked before leaving home. Friendly driver who went the extra mile and let us shop for essentials before delivering us to hotel.

“Good value”

Good value, good and friendly service with excellent English spoken. Not sure about the hotel facilities (pool, restaurant etc) as I was self catering and on business - but it was ideal for this. My only complaint was neighbourhood dogs constantly barking, but even they shut up after midnight.
