We stayed as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children, aged 2 and 4) in this lovely apartment.
Elsa was great at responding to any queries whilst booking and pre-holiday. She met us at the apartment and showed us around and we were surprised to see that she had left us a welcome basket, which was very kind and much appreciated. On first impressions, the apartment was exceptionally clean, well organised and with lost of home comforts.
We hired a car as we like to get out and about, however, as everything was on the doorstep, a car is not essential. The beach and shops are 5 minutes walk away with a variety of restaurants and 'Clipper' was a real hit and we ate lovely fish meals there and the staff are very friendly.
With it being our son`s 3 rd birthday whilst on holiday we paid for a 2 day pass at Zoo Marine, which is a must. Absolutely brilliant! We got cheaper tickets from one of the shops on the front instead of paying the full price at Zoo Marine itself.
We travelled to other beaches and Marinha was beautiful and stunning cove, but make sure you sit far back as the tide does come right in! If you do have a car, we stocked up on essentials, like cereal, milk, bread etc from the nearby Aldi (7 minutes in the car)
The pools are great for the family, one bigger pool and one for the children which we found very safe and gated. We managed to go down and get sun beds about 9.30 am, so not too early.
All in all, just what we needed. Thank you Elsa and Jose for providing us with a wonderful apartment and a memorable stay.
