Conociendo el Algarve
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena, ya que estas más o menos en la mitad del Algarve y puedes visitar muchos puntos sin tener un viaje largo en coche, las instalaciones sobre todo para familias con niños están genial, pueden organizarte excursiones en barco, y el tener parking en el propio recinto es una maravilla. El apartamento que nos adjudicaron era amplio y con todos los servicios necesarios para la estancia, es verdad que no había cafetera pero como llevábamos el desayuno incluido (muy recomendable), no la echamos mucho en falta. El personal muy amable y atento.

Cons:

La última noche, supongo que tras la limpieza del apartamento, dejaron la puerta de la terraza de la habitación abierta y como es una zona en la que hay bastante campo entraron unos visitantes poco deseados (insectos) avisamos al día siguiente en recepción para que tomarán las medidas correspondientes.

Pros:

가격에비해 넓고 편안한 거실과 주방.
직원 친절하고
아침 조식이 종류 다양하고 풍성함.

Cons:

샤워기 수압이 너무 낮다
에어콘때문에 밤새 잠을 설쳐 하누종일 피곤했다
온도 조절도 않되는데 전원이 꺼지지도 않았다
더운 바람 잠깐 나오다 강한 찬바람으로 바뀌어서 춥고 시끄러워서 전원을 껏는데, 잠시후에 자동으로 다시 켜져서 찬바람이 계속 얼굴을 때려서 결국 카드키를 빼내서 방 전체의 전원을 끄고 잠을 청할수 밖에 없었다
다른 좋은 점이 있다해도 다시는 같은 경험을 하고 싶지는 않다

Tempo de descanso em familia muito proveitoso.
Pros:

Estava praticamente tudo perfeito.
Localização, tamanho do quarto, vista muito bonita, funcionários simpaticos, pequeno almoço muito bom.

Cons:

A casa de banho poderia se modernizar um pouco.
Não foi nada que atrapalhasse a estadia nem diminuisse a nota do hotel, mas tivemos problemas com a agua, demorava para esquentar e não vinha em uma quantidade adequada.
Mas isso não prejudicou em nada, apenas uma sugestão para se conseguirem deixarem ainda melhor.

Härligt stora, ljusa lägenheter på en geografiskt bra plats med serviceminded personal.
Pros:

*Frukostbuffen var väldigt bra. *Poolerna städades varje morgon, såg även städerskor som dammade av bänkar och lekplats. *Personalen är Topp! *Fina vyer från balkongerna: Åt ena hållet berg och andra pool samt lite hav i horisonten. *På bilder såg inredningen lite ”ledsen” ut men i verkligheten är allt fint och ser ut att ha rustats upp nyligen. Likaså verkar lägenheter och fasad nymålade *Läget är toppen vad gäller lugnt men än dock nära till strand (10-15 min gå). Jag anser att man behöver bil när man bor här och hotellet ligger då längst en gata som leder direkt till de lite större vägarna som tar en till matbutiker etc

Cons:

*Lägenheten jag fick luktade nymålat och trots konstant vädring försvann doften inte under tiden jag var där. *Frukostbuffén är bara öppen i två timmar (08-10) och sista halvtimmen var det alltid något som tog slut, croissanter, brödbullar etc. *Relativt lyhört i korridorerna
