Our family of five returned home from here yesterday. I honestly can not understand how this place has any negative reviews. The accommodation far surpassed our expectations, the rooms are large, clean and well equipped. The pool areas are beautifully clean and inviting and all the members of staff we met were welcoming and friendly. The cafe serves delicious pizza and ice cold drinks, ideal for hot long days by the pool.
We enjoyed it so much we are about to book again but this time for two weeks. I would recommend hiring a car if you visit in the summer months as its a fair walk from the town and beaches, all up hill on the way back. We hired a car and it really made a difference to the holiday. The hotel does provide a free mini bus service to the local town and beach if required. We can not wait to return!

Our apartment was in the Village part where the reception is. As yet there is no-where to post a review about that part. The place deserves the 3 stars, it was amazing. The sofa can be a double bed, there is a double bed in bedroom 1 and two singles in bedroom 2. Everything is provided in the kitchen and outside are as many sun loungers as you might need plus a parasol. There is a roof terrace for sunbathing and drying your washing. The cafe is small but good, the pools are super clean. Quite impressive for the price, it makes you want to return.

Went for a week in April. Staff were friendly and helpful. Apartment was nice and clean, pool area was clean and well catered with the café / restaurant on site.
Cooking facilities were a little basic, could have done with a spatula and the microwave didn't work...but we don't use them so it wasn't an issue for us. That said I'm sure the staff would have sorted it out of we'd asked.

Stayed in the village part of the hotel. Where you get a Villa (a 2 bedroom terraced house). Kitchen facilities all included. This is on the basic end of hotels and needs some updates. This said it's still a good hotel and ideal for families with young children. You have a front garden, huge back area where children can play safely and a roof space. Hotel has 2 pools with play areas (no life guards). If you choose breakfast option this is basic but adequate. Small bar/restaurant on site that does some good food. It's set in a quiet area about 15/20 minutes walk to beach. A few good restaurants nearby.

It is a real shame that I have to give this hotel one star. We travelled to Portugal for a wedding and this hotel was a perfect location so we could walk to the ceremony on the sea front. It was good value for money and we had a two bed apartment and a 1 bed apartment where my in laws were staying. Both were very spacious and the 2 bed had a washing machine which was great as we had our 3 young children with us. The pool you can access if you have a 2 bed apartment is great as it is much quieter than the bigger pool and both have playgrounds attached. Most of the staff were really friendly but the service really let this place down. My father in-law popped into reception and asked if they could provide us with a high chair. They did, however it took two days and two calls to reception. But the main reason we will not be returning is due to petty theft. We were out for the day and while we were out the towels were changed so we knew housekeeping had been. My husband asked me if I had eaten a packet of smarties. I hadn't. He had bought a multi pack of three so there was enough for one each for the kids etc. One had been taken!!! We then started checking the apartment to see if anything else was missing, when we realised they genuinely had been stolen, and went into the freezer and we had bought some fancy magnum mini ice cream balls. The box had been opened and 4 eaten!!! To be fair I rang reception and explained what had happened. He came straight over and we explained what had happened, all the chocolate had been out of reach of the children, no rubbish left etc we had bought it that morning at the intermarché and dropped it home before going straight out. He said he would investigate and come back to us the next day at the latest and would compensate us. He did not. To be honest it was not the financial issue or the cost of the items as it would have come to less than a fiver but it was the fact that it appears people had been in our private space and stolen from us. It was just so unsettling. Like I said we felt it worked great for us for a family but obviously will not be returning to somewhere where you don't feel safe. As my husband highlighted theft is theft. In addition the fact they stated they would make it right and they didn't. We had a lovely holiday but I really would avoid as it just puts such a downer on the holiday.
