    It was very enjoyable and the staff, including cleaning staff, were very helpful.

    We didn't use the dining room because it was mostly fixed price buffet and the occasions when we dropped down the staff didn't know when menu ordering would be available. Strange. We would have like to have had an option to eat there. The ladies at the store were only transactional and didn't really engage with people coming into the store (no welcome.) It was helpful to have it there but we think opportunities were lost by not engaging with those coming into the store, i.e. "can I be of help to you? "

    The people at the desk were very obliging and helpful. The rooms and balcony were fine. It was easy to access the beach area and local restaurants.

    There are no dishwashing tools and washing liquid, and the customer service said that they need to buy them themselves.

    There are many free parking spaces. It's a little far from the city center, so it's quieter.

    Good holiday apartment with chicken desk, but almost no WiFi

    The WiFi was almost disconnected. Supper slow connection and often disconnected.

    The room was nice and clean. It had the right size for a family with a kid. Facilitates were also good enough and complete for such a short stay. The access was easy and plenty of free parking places.

    The facilities in the kitchen could have been better. There wasn't a cloth provided for washing dishes and/or counter tops. Also a small amount of dish detergent and dishwasher soap would have been helpful for a 3 night stay.

    The location was terrific! A 3 minute walk takes you to an outstanding path along beautiful cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea!

    I liked the property and enjoyed my stay. The only little inconvenience for light sleepers like me is that if you get a room next to the main road, the early morning traffic may wake you up.

    The location is great for beach area but it’s not close to many shopping areas by walking. It would have been helpful to know a car would be suggested to visit shopping areas nearby.

    The location was great, employees were friendly, the food in the restaurant was good! Access to the beach and close by restaurants. The little shop was helpful for needed items!

    We were initially allocated to a different room than what we had requested, but this was rectified next morning.

    Good family rooms, beaches nearby, indoor pool, sufficient parking, playground. Very handy place for families. This was our second visit here. Staff is friendly and helpful.

    We could not figure out the aircon at all, balcony closed and locked should have allowed it to come on, instructions and control not great, however that was the only minor irritation. We will be back.

    Excellent guy on reception, spoke all sorts of languages (well done sir). Clean, tidy, just the right stuff to cook simple no fuss meals. Toilet and shower clean, no mould or lingering smells. Beds were firm, clean and bedding changed every couple of days. Living area sparse but what are you doing in the room on an evening? There is a tv with all manner of channels incl Portugese obes which are mostly in English (explains why all the locals speak it so well - thank you). We will be back.
