Great swimming pool - short opening hours
Great apartment and conditions. The pool is open from 9 AM to 7PM : this is not good in the summer, it should be open at least until 9PM . There is no logic on reduced opening hours in the summer , with perfect weather conditions and temperatures around and above 30 degrees Celsius.

Had 2 bedroom apartment which was huge, great view of the pool. Tried the restaurant one evening and very disappointed by the buffet, not much choice especially for children, lots of dishes empty. Very clean and had everything we needed. Not close to amenities though. Would recommend

esn't feel like Portugal
Basic requests like kitchen equipment (chef knife or any other than bread knife, manual orange juice squeeze) were neglected several times. Those are not expensive. Service and staff not on a good level. Didn't feel like Portugal 😒 e.g. In a bar i ordered and paid for fresh squeezed juice. Instead I got carton one. When complained i got response - yes but then I would need to take more time to squeeze it! Sic! Isn't that what I paid for?
