October 2009
I stayed at this apartment with my 17 year old daughter. It was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had. The apartment was clean and well kept, the pool area was 30 seconds walk from the front door, the terrace and garden were private. Although the road was close, I wouldn't say it was a busy road, and did not stop up relaxing on the patio, or having a good nights sleep.
The terrace was a little sun trap with all day sun.
The walk into the Old Town took approx 20 minutes. Turn left at the entrance to the complex and turn right at the roundabout then its a straight walk, but we stopped for full English Breakfast half way at a small cafe next to Belavista Hotel. 5 euros for breakfast and drink.
If you turned right at the Complex entrance the Bus Station was only a few minutes walk were you could get one of the City Buses into the Old Town or to The Strip. 1.10 euros per trip regardless of distance but we bought a Bus Pass and loaded it with 20 credits ( 1 credit per person per journey) and it only cost us 14 euros.
Just further down from the Bus Station was Zoo Marine and 2 minutes after that was a Lidl supermarket. We got all the basics for the apartment, water, bread butter etc and it had a good range of groceries. We got a taxi back which cost 4 euros.
We ate out every night either in the Square at the Old Town or on the Strip. The price of the meals was very reasonable, piri piri chicken seems to be a speciality and was lovely, and only 6.50 euros.
The beach at Albufeira was lovely and clean, and had lifeguards on each day.
All in all we really enjoyed this holiday and would definatley stay at this Apartment again.
