Myself and my partner stayed at these apartments at the beginning of September. We were located in the "old block" of apartments, not the nice new plush side advertised on web sites. Although we did have a large apartment, the furniture had seen better days, was quite old and musty smelling. The kitchen was poorly equipped, a whistling kettle from the 1930's and a hob that took 30 mins to reach maximum heat! Cutlery and crockery that wouldnt be out of place at a children's tea party (incredibly small).
Due to the poor design of the old apartment block, we could hear anything and everything of what went on, especially late at night when people returned from their nights out!!
The staff were friendly and helpful. Pool was nice with little shadows cast as the day wore on.
Only a 10-15 min walk to the "Strip",with a huge selection of bars & restaruants. Long walk to the beach/Old Town but apartments run a shuttle bus costing only 1 Euro each.
The Algarve is beautiful, so we recommend getting out and about. We would return to the Algarve but would not stay at Novochoro.

good location and good apartments staff very friendly and helpful going back oct the strip is about a 20 stroll and they have shuttle for 1 euro to old town

Myself and 3 friends stayed here in August for 1 week, We are girls in our 30s! It was a relaxing holiday and we didnt want anything too busy. The complex and grounds are really nice and well kept. The pool is very quiet during the day when we stayed not many kids around. The rooms are really basic but they are clean and the staff were very helpful and very approachable. The apartments are outside the main strip about 10mins in a taxi away -it is defo not a 10 minute walk more like 25 min walk but in saying that the apartments have a shuttle bus throughout the day to take you into the old and new town for 1 euro per person. Think 10.30, 3pm, 4.30 and 7pm. We took advantage of this sevice. The staff will order you a taxi they sometimes take about 30mins to arrive thou as it is very busy in evenings. The taxi would cost about 6-8 euros into town. The old town is great and worth a visit, we enjoyed the live music until 11.30pm. Plenty of steakhouses and cocktail bars available and loads of shops to browse around. Great time here. Would not recommend to families with small children who want to be near the beach and town. Defo small groups who dont mind being
a little outside the action but nothing that can be sorted with a short taxi ride. You get what you pay for this is a small basic 2 star complex with a family run feel, We enjoyed our stay it was pleasant.

Just back from the novochoro apartments we paid almost 500 euro each for 10 days not worth the money what so ever!!!!!! got there and was gutted with the apartment, we were placed in the old block of aprtments we did get a huge balcony which we did ask for but this is all I was happy about. Cons of these apartments and resort- no air conditioning in 36 degree heat, beds so hard and had 2 push 2 singles togther, toilet leaking, I would describe shower as a watering can, staff very unhelpful to say the least very poor English. The Cons of this holiday mainly reflect the apartments as seen above. Portugal is a beautiful city and we spent most of our time in the old town would not stay in these OLD apartments will look for better value somewhere else at an acceptable standard which we did not get. These apartments are only getting good reviews because of the new block of apartments they did seem a bit more acceptable do not stay in old block!!!!!!!!!!!!
