    The fridge wasn’t very cold we had to put water and drinks in the freezer to have them cold.. there is no air conditioning and it was very hot but the host did provide a fan

    Great location about 20 minute walk into alvor which was nice .. the complex is very well kept plenty for the children to do… apartment was lovely our host as very nice and helpful and met us at the property to go through eveything with us. We were there for 10 days and it was cleaned twice with fresh towels

    Accommodation wise - the check in part wasn't easy as Booking.com said we'd pick up keys on site but the number given was for reception desk in a different location. This was a bit stressful and needs addressing. Pool - no inflatables or ball games allowed but yet you're allowed to to cannon ball and back flip?! So forget the idea of floating around on your lilo because it's forbidden! FYI the pool is not supervised by a life guard but wasn't ever overcrowded. Location-not ideal but more than doable. The pool and grounds really make up for things as you want to spend time there, as other reviews have mentioned.

    The apartment itself was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed (Block 9 room 1) The Air Conditioning in each room was brilliant and much needed. The pool and grounds were amazing and the pool bar was very reasonably priced and well stocked, including some nice cocktails on the menu, I must recommend the ham and cheese toasties too! :) The staff were all very friendly on site. The pool is super for all ages and there's a toddler pool at the other side of the bar which was really shallow and warm for the little ones. There is a really good supermarket across the road and has everything you could possibly need, fresh pasties and cooked meat too which is really handy for self catering. The apartment is a little out of the way but not too bad. About a 20 minute stroll into Alvor or the beach which isn't too bad if not too hot. Taxi's are really good though and about 5-6€ into Alvor. Overall, it is worth staying in this area if on a budget , looking for a nice quiet week with access to Alvor town, the harbour and an amazing beach as they are all not too far away. I would go back absolutely.

    There is no reception so when you get dropped to property you need to call the contact number to meet someone to get a key. We’re not aware of this so ended up having to get a taxi to friends nearby to leave luggage while we waited to meet host with keys

    The pool was fab lots of beds and green area to lie out pool bar was nice but cash only

    Having to buy a sun umbrella for the pool as only stands available - then leave it behind.

    Great room and pool. Staff (Rosa?) helpful with storing our bags as our departure was later in the day.

    I wasn't aware the apartments were privately owned so you need to buy your own umbrella for the pool. Also you had to enter a key fobbed gate to get into the pool. There was no WiFi which the teenagers were disappointed with. It is a good 25 minutes walk to either the beach or Alvor town, longer with the kids who often got an uber with one adult.

    The kiddies pool was fabulous for our two children who are under 5. Our 2 bed apartment was bright and spacious. The pool bar was lovely and staff were super friendly.

    I was with my family and having a dishwasher should be of great help. I know is well written in the offer description however if the apartment in future will offer a wi-fi will be highly appreciated.

    The apartment is very nice and spacious. The possibility we can use the beautiful swimming pools is one of the aspect that provide value to this location.

    Woman tried to make a big fuss about leaving luggage off early (even though I had messaged before hand and said we could leave in reception) she kept saying I've never done this for anyone before etc processed to take us to our room. Walk through the room that hadn't been cleaned yet and asked us to leave our suitcases on the balcony! (seemed strange). Beds where absolutely horrible to sleep on they were so uncomfortable, also all single beds. Pillows where lumpy. No air conditioning even though it states it does have? We had 1 electric fan inside. Bathroom had no extraction fan Noise from the rest off the apartment block was awful woke us all out off our sleep several times, between doors banging, people shouting, sing and dogs howling and barking at all hours. Not very family friendly in the block we where put.

    The pool/bar area That it was close to a supermarket.
