The place is wonderful. The flat was spacious (2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms) and well equipped. There was a balcony and beds are comfortable. There's a well priced restaurant on site by the pool. The pool is much bigger than the picture and well maintained. There's enough loungers for everyone in sun or shade. Very peaceful and relaxing. No loud crowd around. Also a pool table and ping pong near the pool. Easy access to the beach and shops within walking distance (or 4.5 euro by taxi ). It's a brilliant place. Only improvement could be WiFi and TV but we were not there for that.

We had ten days here and it was great value to money. Large suite with super large balcony that got sun at any time of day. Great restaurant with peri peri chicken my favourite. Lovely lad Gabriel who manned the bar with Ola Mar who was very helpful. Superb pool. Beaches around 15 minute walk but all bays so very child/swim friendly. 20 minutes to the town but other restaurants nearby plus a Super Marche at the top of the hill (7 minute walk).

May 2023. Very good value for money. We had the two bedroom, two bathroom apartment, overlooking the green area of the 5 star hotel. The room was on a self catering basis with a large supermarket only a five minute walk away. The beach, in a small pretty cove was only a twenty minute walk away. The apartment had good sized rooms with a large balcony and roof terrace. If you want a quieter, restful break with lots of walking routes around the coast , it is an ideal location. The pool areas have been recently renovated and the apartment recently refreshed. Ok, so there is a lot of brown flooring, tiles and woodwork, but this is Portugal. Out of season this is lovely place for a break and each apartment had a car parking space built into the design. There were eating places on the road with the supermarket and it was about a thirty five minute walk either way to a small town.

Don't go by the photos, the studio we were allocated was nothing like them. It was clean and housekeeping came from Monday to Friday but not at weekends. However there was no oven, so cooking was limited. The lack of plugs in the kitchen meant not more than 2 appliances could be used at the time. Utensils etc were of poor quality eg. blunt knives, no small spoons. The bathroom was clean but no grab bars by the over bath shower meant slipping was always a possibility. There was only one mirror in the whole place (over the bathroom sink) and that was cracked. No hairdryer which was surprising as most places provide one. The beds were rather lumpy.
The whole place looks tired and doesn't appear to have kept up with modernisation. Also be warned, the shop is closed and unless you are reasonably fit, the walk to either the beach ( average 5euro taxi) or the supermarket isn't doable for anyone with mobility problems.
Having said all that, the owner was very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was very nice and reasonably priced. The view over the gardens (not part of the same complex ) from the balcony was very pleasant while eating breakfast.
All in an interesting place, but we won't be back.
