Great beautiful villa to stay in. We stayed in the apartments and it was fully equipped with everything you need, ample space for more than two people really. Room service/cleaning was great. The only recommendation I'd give is perhaps offering more ways to access other parts of town through renting a cab service or scooter/bike for customers. Overall location is not too far from shops etc but you definitely need a car, cab or scooter to get around.

From outside it looks stunning!!! However, we had a late check in and when received the room it had a leak in the ceiling. Not too visibile in the picture but it was dripping from 3 points. We came back to complain next day morning... the receptionist said there was nothing she could do about it. The apartment is old, many insects with noise AC and super cold. Smell like dump and walls full of damage. Not impressed. The are is lovely and the town is beautiful... many nice restaurants...

We stayed here in a standard apartment in February and family we travelled with stayed in a villa. I feel the apartments and villas currently offer different experiences and the apartments need a refresh to have the same standard.
Pros: Remote if you want peace and quiet and don't mind being a drive away from any 'touristy' places. 40 mins drive from faro.
Very clean standards in the accommodation and surrounding resort. The staff were all nice, friendly and helpful as much as they could. Spacious apartments and villas for large familys.
The villa has more modern furnishings comfy beds, towels provided for the pool and internet TV. Easy to to check in and out and daily cleaning and linen changes.
I had a really tasty octopus salad in the restaurant all food was well made and enjoyed. We only ate there once however would recommend.
Cons: The apartments are dated and in need of refurb, ok for 2 nights but not a full week if you want to relax. Loose floor tiles, old solid beds, lumpy pillows, I was on pain killers all week for a bad neck and hips, adding blankets didn't help. It would have been better if the bed options provided a double and not twins, it doesn't make for relaxing holiday with a partner with a metal frame in the middle of the bed. The sofa/fouton had no cushions so uncomfortable to sit on. The kitchen while well equipped but old, only one plug for 4 devices made making breakfast laborious while the villa had adaptors provided so all items could be used. Washing machines are very rusted and don't really wash clothes well. The TV never worked while we were there I was advised they knew of an issue with TV reception however was not rectified, I would suggest changing all TVs to internet fed as there were not really any English speaking channels. When there's not much to do around or entertainment TV would have been nice to have in the evening. There was no soundproofing so every sound can be heard in the apartments! Furniture needs felt pads putting on the bottom, being woken by people at 1am moving furniture is frustrating. All pools would be used more if they were heated they were ice cold so we didn't swim. Only the kids braved it.
We do have to say again thank you to the reception team who assisted our family member who needed urgent medical treatment they were quick to action and help us!
My advice would be to stay in a Villa if you want a relaxing holiday and only use the apartments for short visits.

Tired, needs some internal refurbishment.

Clean and tidy complex of detached villas or apartments.
The apartments are at the furthest point from reception, away from the road. Parking for apartments is a short walk from the door to your car.
Tennis courts are well maintained and pool looks in reasonable condition.
The real issue here is the internal condition or the age and condition of the equipment.
The items in the pictures are in a bit of a poor state. I thought the fridge was dirty on the outside, it was a little but the main issue was rust! How someone is able to get the door to rust is beyond me. The internal condition looks a little tired but clean.
There's a juicing machine in the kitchen that I thought was mouldy, a little scratch of the plastic surface took off some of the plastic.
The cupboards, I thought we're an attempt to have a little keeping with the outside colours, nice try but, they might have been there since 1970. Yes, colours people can live with short term, but, my word, these units are showing their age.
The location is a little out of the way. Good 45min walk, down hill into town. 55min walk up hill.

I stayed here off season and have to say it's fantastic value for money hotel. I stayed in 1 bed apartment and although the inside is a little dated it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The balcony had a really nice view and check in was very easy and friendly.
