Very Good
Not that we spent much time at the hotel as we was out most of the days. The hotel was clean and the views from the hotel room was amazing. The old town was about a 20 minuet was down some very steep hills. Cab back was only about 5 euro. There's no bar at the complex but plenty of nice bars and restaurants in the old town. Would recommend this hotel to anyone but it is very chilled out. The lady who showed us to our room (I'm guessing is the owner) is also very nice, which always helps you enjoy your stay

Lovely apartments and very spacious and clean.
Lovely apartments and very spacious and well equipped kitchen with washing machine and dish washer like home from home apartments. We were in block H with a amazing panaramic views over the marina and the sea with a large veranda. The gardens and grounds are really lovely and there is 24 hr security patroling the large grounds also very safe with locked gates at all times and all windows in apartments have electric roller shutters. The pools are lovely and have lots of space for sunbathing, but pools are very cold even in peak times of August. The only downside to these apartments is there is no restaurant or bar on site and no reception. Be warned if you are booking with an agent that you have the keys before you arrive at the complex as were were left stranded outside the locked gates and couldn't get access as no reception or anyone to meet us there to let us in, ok if you already have your keys before you arrive or booking from a owner direct..... Not for the unfit as these apartments are built in a very hilly area and where ever you go you have to go up and down very steep hills and cobbles pavements are slippy if you don't have the right footwear - not a place for heels for the lady's.....flip flops ideal. Would recommend these apartments if you have a car as a lot easy that walking everywere and you just want relaxing holiday in luxuary apartments. The nearest supermarket is a 15 minuite walk down steep hill and the Old Town 20 minuite walk again steep hill.

Nice new apartment
I was very disappointed when I called the hotel to confirm my booking only to find that they were moving my family and I to another apartment half a mile away. I had to make several over seas phone calls and endure a lot off stress to try and confirm that my original booking was upheld. My booking was for a spascific apartment block with air con and the other problem was that I had other family members booked to stay at the same place. My concerns were not rectified until I arrived on the day. All in all a very stressful time and very off putting in regards to using Expedia again. Yours sincerely Scott Reekie.

Lovely apartments
Great apartments, very clean, we had an apartment that had sea views which was great. The apartments are on abit of a hill so probably not suitable for people with walking difficulties! Also you have to pick your keys up from the reception at the marina! Would def stay again here.

Lovely apartments just up the hill
Clean, self-catering apartments with two pools. Rooms had great facilities. Really nice and easy to stay there. Owner was EXTREMELY accommodating and lovely as she gave us a lift back into town AND let us check out on the last day at 5pm! Make sure you arrange to meet her to get the keys BEFORE you get to Portugal so you can get in the apt smoothly with no waits! (We didn't do that!) She'll meet you there and give keys and explain everything ;) No downsides to this place apart from the fact that it's located on the hill so you have to walk uphill for 10-15 minutes or taxi it. It's not too much bother but you kind of have to plan your day and take everything out with you if you don't want to walk up the hill twice in one day.

Bad service
The owner was not very nice. Bad service. We had to wait 5 hours outside the apartments to get the keys to our room. The apartment was dirty. Lots of hair in the bathroom sink, so we had to wash our hands and brush our teeth in the kitchen. We are NOT coming back here.
