We stayed at this resort for almost a week. The rooms were nice and spacious and offered a kitchen. The hotel is pretty big with different things to do. The food menu for the buffet had a good selection meats, seafood, desserts and other items. And when The buffet was closed they still had a snack selection that offered pizza, burgers and hotdogs. The staff was very pleasant especially Simon and Ismael at the bar making delicious drinks. Overall it was a nice stay.

Stayed here for a week and first family holiday abroad. We couldn't have picked a better hotel and location close to the beach and small area of shops, cafes and restaurants.
The hotel itself is lovely and clean. We had a room to the rear overlooking the children's pool so was quieter. Spacious accommodation with 2 TVs, fridge/freezer, kettle etc and 2 balconies, one of which had a drying rack to use.
The pools do get slightly busy but we never had an issue (3 and 6 year olds) and a staff member does remove towels from sunbeds that are not being used (there are signs to say no reserving). The food is very plentiful and while it can be similar, due to the wide choices, can have something different each night (except the apple cake which I could eat every day!).
Bar is available for a choice of drinks and the sports facilities are also open for use (football goals, running track, tennis, padel, gym). Also provide alternate day trips to local towns, however we used a taxi as we didn't spend full days there.
Entertainment is always on, kids loved the mini disco and reptile show where can hold the well looked after animals and have a picture. Staff look like they genuinely enjoy being there l, are very helpful whether it be in the restaurant or activities and as ever, if you're polite, it is reciprocated.
Overall, a great first holiday as a family, would highly recommend and would not hesitate to return if we find a great deal

Brilliant holiday made amazing by all the fantastic staff, especially Pedro, Johnathan and Sergio in reception. Sonia catering manager went out of her way to look after my special dietary needs ( even on her day off) Barbara in catering made us laugh every meal time and at the bar,and was a complete joy.
The four members of the entertainments team Marta, Jojo, Flora and Arthur were such good without being pushy.
The apartment was amazing the food was excellent and we look forward to returning next year.

Such an outstanding staff at all levels, loving, caring, genuinely supportive, goes extra mile to help and make the stay comfortable. Our kids and us loved it there. So many dedicated activities, well planned through out the day. Bird show, Reptile show, Belly dancing, kids continuous activities.
I must say Flora and Arthur together did an amazing excellent job together to keep families happy with so much energy and passion in them to make it all exciting for kids and parents. Big big thank you to both of them. Marta and Johana are amazing and loving and so dedicated to make it an exciting experience for families.
The staff at breakfast and dinner are amazing. The front desk is always available with a big smile on their faces to greet their guests. We have been to so many countries at so many resorts, but AP beach and resort in Faro has something very different and positive about it, so much positive energy from staff. Arthur, Flora, thank you so much for amazing time!

Food quality is really low. Don't expect variety of fish nor meat. You always get the same dishes which after 7 days can be boring. Also everything is pretty much frozen/instant/fast food. Room cleaning is poor, floor was dirty when we arrived and stayed dirty after we asked for cleaning. Our welcome drink was a bottle of water (said by the staff). There is not enough room in the pool area for all the guests. Both English and Portuguese understanding is very low amongst Hotel staff. We decided to leave earlier then expected.
