Lovely townhouse appartment in well located and quiet resort

Excellent appartment. Spacious. Immaculately clean and great location close to the external security gates entry for easy walk down to Carvoeiro.

Pros:

Excelente Resort. Tranquilo.
Fizeram um upgrade para uma moradia. Muito boa. Excelente insonorização.
O pequeno almoço é mesmo TOP, com bastante qualidade nos produtos. Bastantes funcionários, sempre disponíveis. A reposição não chega a ser tema. Os funcionários estão sempre atentos! Muito bom.
Boas piscinas. A piscina grande é mesmo grande ! Não falta espaço. A piscina interior é também muito boa.

Cons:

Muitas bolas na piscina grande (por parte dos hóspedes). Acaba por ser incomodativo.

Decepcionante
Pros:

Tamanho

Cons:

Aquecedor toalha quebrado em um wc, no outro ralo do chuveiro entupido. Restaurante que fecha até para hóspedes etc
Não vale nem de perto o preço que paguei.
Hotel mais caro que fiquei e com pior custo benefício, totalmente diferente do que eu imaginava quando reservei

The 0 maintenance resort
Pros:

Mooie grote appartemeneten. Het eten is er best ok, de BBQ is een aanrader hoewel erg duur. Personeel in het resto is wat onhandig maar zeer vriendelijk. Er is een bar aan het zwembad

Cons:

0 onderhoud. Overal verf die loslaat, tuinstoelen die vesleten zijn, de bruggen over het zwembad die je op alle foto's zult zien zijn afgesloten omdat ze op elk moment kunnen instorten. Ook bruggen in het resort die je nodig hebt om overal naartoe te wandellen zijn rot. Sauna en bubbelbad waren defect. Het hele resort is "has-been" en onderhoud is er gewoon niet. Prijs kwaliteit voel ik met wat onrecht aangedaan aangezien ik betaal voor 5 sterren maar er maar 3-4 kreeg. Sommige bedden zijn onbeslaapbaar door slechte, heel slechte matrassen (je kan de metalen veren tellen als je ligt). Heel veel losse tegels rond het zwembad. De airco werkt maar half

Pros:

A simpatia dos funcionários, a qualidade dos apartamentos em si. A qualidade de todos os materiais é notória. As várias piscinas, que proporcionam uma zona mais infantil para quem tem crianças e uma zona mais reservada para quem quer descansar. Recomendo mesmo muito e vou voltar brevemente.
