“Excellent just what it says on the advert”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

person found this review helpful

The resort itself is lovely. We stayed in APT 203 which is owned by DRWProperties. Dealing with the owner David was very straight forward and his description of the sea views and accomodation was spot on. You do need a car tho as it is built on a hill over looking the Atlantic. Mid September weather was also lovely 28 to 30 degrees. The appartment has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms a large lounge with patio doors on to the veranda. There is also a well equiped kitchen including dishwasher and washing machine. The pool area has a small bar and is perched over looking the sea. It is a walk to the glourious sandy beaches and if you drive up the west coast the surfing beaches are spectacular. A very quiet and relaxing holiday - thank you

“Outstanding Location. Poor (and getting worst) service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The resort is located on a cliff with stunning views over the sea. It has 1 (or 2 floor) houses organized in rows, depending on the room you are placed on you may have different views: direct sea view only (the 100s rooms), sea & swimming pool (all other rooms).
The place is very quiet, the pool is huge and rooms are big and spacious. It is a good place for families with kids but also for a quiet and relaxing holiday. If you are into nightlife or shopping you must have a car to go to Praia da Luz or Lagos.
On the downside the furniture and room equipments could use more maintenance. The cleaning service is clearly under-staffed and is getting worse from year to year, I am a regular customer since 2004 and the service is no way near the service I had in the first years.

“Not as perfect as advertised”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2010

I was looking for a relaxing stay in a perfect spot. In fact, the seaview is amazing, if you are lucky to rent the best apartments! But, and this is a big but, the noise and service ruins everything. Daily cleaning is most of the times pathetic and neighbors don't respect other people's tranquility. Cars, especially at night are particularly annoying. Won't recommend it.

“Stunning views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Stunning views of the coastline and sea from this resort.

Basically the resort consists of townhouses overlooking the gorgeous pool/sea or low rise studios/appts overlooking the sea. We stayed in the sea view appt with spectacular views. There are lovely walks on the coastal path to Luz and Bergau. The resort itself is situated in a quiet area near Praia da Luz. It is quiet, there is no entertainment/restaurant/bar etc. However,both Luz, Lagos are not far away, though suggest that you will need a car. The appt itself was a 'rustic' design, it was roomy and was cleaned daily. Fresh bread delivered to the door daily.
