Disliked: Listing accuracy
It was advertized online as being on the beach. This is not so! We had to walk 5 minutes which is not a big deal But to advertize it as being on the beach is inaccurate. Also it was very cold in the unit. It just had a few little heaters that was unable to heat the place. We expressed concern and they gave us another plug in heater. The place itself was nice and large with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms This unit is not for people with mobility issues . There are a lot of stairs up and down. Also there was nothi.g in the kitchen. Not even any dishsoap (basic necessity) Also no shampoo or body wash.

Wonderful apartment, very comfortable and clean, well appointed with thoughtful touches. We felt right at home and loved the location although there are steep walks up from the town. Parking excellent and nice to have a pool nearby. Would definitely recommend and come back for another stay.

You get a villa. We had 2 bedrooms, kitchen, two bathrooms, a living room and a private-ish yard. The staff was I soy and very helpful. We could easily walk everywhere. The bill is a little steep but that’s what

Beautiful spacious condo with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Has an amazing view of the sea from a great balcony. Close to restaurants, beach and shopping. Very hilly area. Would be nice to have a few more supplies like shampoo and some kitchen staples.

This property was absolutely amazing. Although our room did not advertise a Seaview, we still had a partial beautiful Seaview. We were right next to the pool area. Could get a little loud when there’s a lot of people there but nothing that bothered us. The property is well-maintained. The location is beyond convenient. You’re close to everything. Everything is walkable. Unit we stayed in was A37, and wow. This unit was huge two bedroom two bathrooms both with showers great kitchen, new washer I cannot ask for more. The local town was really cute with lots of eating and shopping options. Great access to all the local beaches and the seven hidden valleys Trail. Everything right at your fingertips.

Les autres clients de l’établissement étaient irrespectueux et bruyants. Très mauvaise communication avec la réception / l’administration.
Excellent location for a family. Close to the town square where the restaurants and beach are.
Swimming pools had enough chairs for multiple families (with umbrellas).
Be prepared for a walk up a hill from town to the resort
Our apartment was really spacious having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The lounge area was lovely and had access to a small outside seating area on the pool side. The beach and resort centre is only a short walk down the hill.The small town was full of gorgeous restaurants to pick from and l recommend a visit to the sky bar for drinks first
We would definitely like to holiday here again sometime in the future x

A good stay
The Resort is located very close to the town center and the beach. The area of the resort is beautiful the view from some of the apartments is magnificent. The pool areas were a bit dated but ok anyway. The apartment we had was convenient for us although the furniture was dated. But I think the apartments have different styles and decor so it depends on which apartment you get. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Visited in January 2025 which is the slow season for the Algarve. Quiet location in Carvoeiro with numerous shops and restaurants. During my stay there was maintenance being performed at the resort as well as various business in town. Property is clean and well maintained.
