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 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.

We had a good appartment, somewhat dated furniture, but ok - 2 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms and terrace with view overlooking great pool and atlantic ocean. Location is perfect. Only problem is that some Portuguese families owe their own appartment and act as if they own the place. very noisy children screaming all day, having fun at the pool, which is normal. if it is a quiet hioliday you're after don't go there during school holidays. The cleanng of the flat took no more than 10 min every day. I made some complaints at the reception but I was told they could not do anything if I had complains abt. owners. Besides he confirmed that they are now going to start to build a massive hotel next to the pool area so the entire site will be turned into a building site for the following years- so don't go there as from 2009 for a few years.

We just returned from a two week stay at Porto Dona Maria resort and loved it. Our apartment overlooked the ocean. Bed was comfortable, and we loved having fresh bread delivered to our door each day! Besides the terrific view, we were able to walk to two towns, Luz and Bergau on ocean-side paths. The pool was lovely and at that time of year, virtually deserted. We particularily enjoyed the fish restaurant on the premises. Serafina in the reception area was very helpful and gave us good suggestions on places to visit. I would recommend this resort to anyone who desires a little more privacy. Sheila, Ontario CAN.
