For golfers, there are 4 golf courses between a 5 and 20 minute drive of the apartment and the beaches of the western Algarve are famous for both surfing and fishing.


Praia da Luz Beach: A short 10min walk from the apartment brings you to the gently shelving Luz beach, with soft golden sands. The remnants of volcanic activity from long ago can been seen at the far end of the beach, know locally as the Rocha Negra or 'Black Rock'.
Rock pools and a beach-front restaurant, complete with children’s play area make the beach a great place for all the family!

Activities / Things to do: From Luz, there are day trip coaches to the water parks (Aqualand is one) and the Dolphin park (Zoomarine), and many other attractions in the Algarve.

Would stay again, and will recommend to friends.

Great apartment with huge terrace in lovely village
We spent three weeks in the apartment and everything we needed was provided. There was ample parking just outside the apartment. Lisete was a good cleaner and came in each week to change the bedding and towels and do a basic clean for us. Unfortunately the pool was out of action at the time of our visit, but we are sure that when all the retiling is done it will be an excellent addition for any holidaymaker. We ate out a few times, at the Chinese on Rua April 25 , just below Paulo's which we went to four or five times and found the food delicious, and the staff extremely friendly. We also had fish and chips one night at Kelly's Irish Bar and enjoyed that. All in all, a lovely place to spend a holiday. If you want to go to the beach, Luz beach is long, wide and sandy.

Excellent apartment which is set in a great complex
We have just returned from a great holiday. staying this fantastic apartment. The apartment was spacious, clean and really well equiped. The balcony, as shown in the photograps, is really large and overlooks the pool area. The only very slight downside is that we would have liked to access some English channels on the TV, but non were available. This was not totally clear at the time of booking. However, this did not detract from our holiday stay. We will certainly look forward to further holidays in this great apartment and complex in the future. Thanks Ian.

Great winter sun trap! Appartement bien orienté pour le soleil d’hiver!
A warm and sunny stay. The heating was rarely used as the living area and 2 bedrooms got the sun most of the day. The big terrace too even if it was windy was very sheltered. A bonus for a winter rental. Good communication with the owner and the agency that looks after the day to day issues and servicing. Don’t expect to learn much Portuguese. Thank you. We are returning. Séjour très ensoleillé. Nous n’avions peu utilisé le chauffage puis le séjour et les deux chambres étaient baignés par le soleil. La grande terrasse même par temps de vent était bien protégée. Un bonus l’hiver. La communication avec le propriétaire et l’agence qui s’occupe du quotidien sur place était très bonne. Par contre ne comptez pas apprendre beaucoup le portugais. Nous allons revenir. Merci beaucoup!

Superb!
We stayed in St James the first two weeks in July 2018. We had a wonderful holiday. Apartment is clean, spacious and has all you need - esp WiFi for teenagers!! Complex is very quiet and we often had the pool to ourselves! Luz itself is lovely and has plenty of nice restaurants within 5/10 mins walk to choose from. We ate out each evening and every restaurant we tried was excellent. Luz is very quiet but there is a regular bus service to & from Lagos which costs €1.60 or 80 cent if you buy the bus card (Can buy this in municipal building across the road from Paulo’s restaurant). A lovely apartment in a lovely resort - if you want a quiet & relaxing holiday this is the one for you!

A good apartment
This is a well equipped apartment in a good location.I agree with the previous review that some areas around the pool area look tired but the pool its self was clean.The UK TV system in the apartment was poor with a slow complicated system and only the basic 5 channels.I know that you do not go on holiday to watch TV but we had our grandson sleeping over several times and it would have been nice to catch up with some TV programmes. Over all though we had a lovely holiday.
