A lot of strong negative reviews on this site.Believe them and save your money.
My family of 5 spent 10 days there in August 2010.the only good thing was the weather and leaving to come home.A very depressing isolated experience.
As one review has been left.Yes we were kept waiting for our room.Because we opted for an early flight.We had to wait 4hrs,keys from 2pm so not a good start.
We were H/B and the food was basic.What you have at home less the high salt and grease content you would normally use.Most of the food was left,it was the same menu throughout our stay.
Breakfast- was buffet i.e cornflakes,toast,muslie,bacon scrappings,beans,egg sort of scrambled.Tea only earl grey,coffee,juice
Tea-Set menu starters soup of the day main meal of two choices i.e meatballs,spaghetti bolognaise,fish,chicken all served with chips like mcdonalds.Pudding icecream or coffee.All drinks at tea are extras to be paid,even water.Paid Eu4.50 for 3 cans of coke at one tea sitting.At the local supermarket.which is not too friendly(they snatch your money and are ignorant) they are 50c.
Appartment was reasonably clean.Maids came in very late afternoon a bit inconvenient.All 5 separate beds,no air-conditioning.
No parasols around the pool,we had to buy one as many others did aswell.Pools in need of repair flooring,sides, missing tiles.
No activities for children during the day or night apart from the pool.A few excursions on offer nothing exciting.The entertainment was very very poor.A portugese man with a guitar shouting "olay ,olay"?? (not funny)
The beach/marina was too far to walk,in the heat during the day.However there is a shuttle 3 times in a day.Can only take 15 at a time and the last run is only one way.
We had to organise our own return transfers by phoning 24hrs before.The number wasnt recognised on the automated sytem.The manager at the hotel was not very helpful and was quite rude.As he tried to fob my partner off and said come back later,busy.Luckily there was an english man dealing with excursions who sorted it.
Go and make your own mind up.Or listen to this review we went peak season,spent good money for nothing.And would never recommend this place to anyone.

Hi my name is Alison (26). I went to the Oasis Village with my sister. I was not sure what to think as I read some of the reviews on trip advisor before I went. All I can say is that we had a great time here. (And would go back in the morning). At the end of the day all we wanted was a week away in the sun, we did not plan to sit in the apartment all day everyday!! People would need to realize this when booking some place "cheap" and then complaining about it on return. It wasn't 5 stars, and yes it could do with a paint job badly!! But it was clean & tidy. Air con would have been nice, but that would be my only complaint. Will go back to this lovely part of the Algarve again. Just a note to family's: it is a good 20 min walk to the beach/marina. We didn’t mind as we rented bikes or went for a run. There is a cafe in the apartment block and a shop across the road though. This is a quite part of the Algarve. But with plenty of walks/cycles to be had!!! Loved it :-)

This apartment complex is the worst I ever saw. Its dirty, run down - I would say it has not been painted in years. The room on the fourth floor in which we were expected to stay
for a week (we left immediately and and had to pay for a week in another accommodation) was old,musty, dirty, boken tiles on floor, the bed linen was appalling - the bedspread didnt even fit the bed - filthy curtains on the patio door.
The kitchen area was filthy and we had the added attraction of a cockroach running across the floor. The staff could'nt have been less helpful.
I did not think places like this existed any more! This kip is also a long walk to the town of Vilamoura. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED..........

Kavanagh Family, Rathfarnham Dublin. July 2010.

we arrived at the hotel ( sorry apparntment block) at 09:00 am great we thought drop the bags in the room then head out to the beach,wrong rooms arent ready until 13:00 and with an unlocked room to put our bags in we waited till 15:00 for the room from hell!!! oh my god dirty smelly small, we paid for a room up grade online, we got a stuido with single beds, they did come and chuck a bucket of dirty water on the floor each day and use the same mop to do the floor walls, loo and sink, after that i told them to leave. we found that the staff were very un- helpful, dont what ever you do get full board, food is very bad and only two to pick each night, they offer a mini bus to the beach and marina, that they forget to tell you about, and when you wait in line , they take the portuguese first, beach and marina is more like 40mins then the 20 they say, we spent 100 euros on taxis to the beach for a weeks hols, more like 1 star then 3, we found out when there that it is made up of 3 areas and they are all timeshare , not like they make out on the website, just really really bad, try and stay near the beach and marina , even if it cost you 50 more for the week it will be worth it.....................................................................
