We LOVE the Algarve and are *very* well known in this area. But if you ever have to stay somewhere, don't do it here. We booked for one month in November/December as a family of 4 with 2 small kids but left before we stayed the night. The house had no central heating (we contacted before arrival that we'd come with a baby of 1 year old) and the villa was literally freezing and smelling very bad. Also the paint on the walls was crumbling. When we asked about heating, they said the fire place didn't work and we were given 4 very old electrical heaters that smelled badly when turned on. With a baby that's 1 year old those things were a very high (burning) risk which we did not accept. There were more complaints about the villa (like dirty nappies in the garden) but the heating was the main issue. The reception came up with another villa, but style-wise completely wasn't what we booked. Old & dark. We didn't accept since we'd be staying for the whole month, so the next day we found another place in the area that was pricier but gave us the comfort we needed with 2 young kids. We were devastated. The biggest mistake we made was paying the second term (€750) right at check-in, before we've seen the house. Otherwise we'd still have it in our pocket today. That made us the most upset: we weren't obliged to pay then and there, but we trusted it, and they refused to send us back the money we otherwise would still have had. The whole time the reception (especially the general manager João) were very unhelpful, even opposing us by not e-mailing back for a long time (in the beginning they were very quick) and only replying when we came by to complain, and making problems about paperwork. Finally we went back for the third time and demanded to get our money back. The reception told us João would not let them do this except by giving up our total rights as customers. We didn't want to sign this document because then all our rights were gone and made very simple for them to not pay us back at all. The reception signaled to us that the manager was not a nice person and till this day we think even the reception is afraid of him. They were always very stressed and not happy. We are still fighting to get 50% back of the €1500 we paid and we've only stayed 1 night in the villa (dressed in 3 layers of clothing) due to unsafe conditions. They even lied in response to the creditcard company which we asked for a cashback so now we'll get a lawyer in Portugal and take this to court. Not because of the money, but because we think you can't treat people this way. A lot of words to say: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

Lovely resort with one of the best locations in the Algarve! It's relatively quiet with an easy walk to the 2 beautiful beaches of Senhora da Rocha, Lord's Bar (for a tasty cocktail/coffee & ocean views), Palmeiras (for wonderful grilled food) and Sweet Spot (for brunch or drinks/food). Definitely will be returning!!

If you enjoy your holiday with constant construction noise, this is the place. During our stay there were major renovation works in a neighbouring unit sharing a wall with ours, resulting in continuous drilling and construction noise throughout the day. We were not informed in advance that such works would be taking place during our stay. If we had known, we would have chosen a different unit as several were available at the time of booking. The location itself is fine, but the experience was severely affected by the noise levels and the lack of a quiet environment expected for this type of accommodation. Not the relaxing stay we were expecting.

A very noisy resort. Every time we go there is always someone drilling and making renovations to their houses. The gardeners are aways out too. Using strong smelling petrol machines that are extremely noisy. This work and all repairs should be done off high season. More Jan Feb time. Complaints have been made before but nothing gets done. People work hard and deserve a rest not a constant racket.
