A clean modern apartment with the pool close at hand. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. They are extremely helpful. They supplied us with an extensive welcome pack, even popping in some sweets and squash for our son which was very thoughtful, with water, wine and beers already cooling in the fridge too! Use of pool towels was an added bonus. Some toiletries such as handwash and moisturiser, soaps, new flannels, cotton pads for face cleansing and two hairdryers were supplied too which all helped to make for an easy start to the holiday. Lots of stations on the TV, lots of novels on the bookshelves, beach parasol, buckets and spades too. Large TV in the master bedroom also a nice touch. The property has private use of 4 very comfy sun loungers and some side tables for a lazy day by the pool. Plenty of crockery, pots and pans etc. Really well equipped property. Plenty of space to eat and relax on the terrace. Use of a hot tub too. A car is essential to get to local amenities but the nearest mini supermarket is a couple of minutes away with a very nice cafe next door too. The marina at Vilamoura is a short drive away but be prepared for a little traffic queuing as you get close to the centre. It is a very pleasant marina with a very large selection of restaurants for every taste and lots of icecream kiosks to keep the kids happy. We found Quarteira is the most accessible of the two resorts and has some good restaurants. We found a fantastic churrasqueria called Rei do Churrasco a short drive away, full with locals as well as tourists that served excellent food, don't let the exterior fool you...you could easily pass by without noticing it, but it is worth booking a table. Recommend the chicken with Piri-piri sauce.
We would recommend packing a cool bag for trips to the beach as there isn't one at the apartment. We enjoyed our stay at this apartment and have already recommended it to friends.
