The property was as advertised. It was clean and comfortable. I would have preferred not to pay a cash deposit though for the wifi router- as you do not get this back until you leave. As I am UK the 20 Euro at end not so useful.
The surrounds pool and location is wonderful. Such easy access to the beach via walk or train. The beach is breathtaking along with view of the Ria Formasa. I will return. The local staff friendly. I was made to feel welcome.
Very easy walk and open train to the beach on Ilha de Tavira. Room was nice and lots of villas to choose from when booking. We drove into the old town of Tavira which was very charming. The pool closes ontime and the area is very quiet in the evenings.

We stayed near end of season, atmosphere in the resort was rather tranquil, which we liked.
Apartments and public areas are a little worn, but spacey and well-equipped. We even got an upgrade to a suite with a third bedroom (which we did not need as a family of 3, but overall we enjoyed the extra space).
For wifi in the room we needed to rent a router, but the price of 1 Euro per day is moderate and quality was perfect.
Access to the (public) beach is by a 1500m walk, but there is a small train which can be used free of charge by hotel guests.
The property is very beautiful, however we had a lot of issues with the stove in our suite. It wasn’t working properly, and two people had to come in at different times to help us fix it, which took about 1-2 hours. Then when it was “fixed”, it still didn’t work properly, and would randomly shut off and we had to keep flipping the breakers on and off for the suite. This made our cooking experience very frustrating. There was also loud construction that started in the suite next to us around 9:00 in the morning. However the staff were very friendly and nice, and the surrounding area is beautiful.
We are a family of 5 ( 2 adults and 3 kids), we had an amazing stay. I cannot recommend the place enough, we will definitely come back!

We have been passing the property for many years on our way to the lovely Barril beach nearby and it was convenient to stay one night this year. Staff were friendly, the price was right and we were not disappointed. Dinner was excellent and also well-priced in a cosy part of the bigger restaurant. The small supermarket on-site had good fresh food and the room well-equipped with kitchenette and bathroom. We would stay again !

The property is getting worn out. I had repeated problems with my entry door lick and parking lot access.
Zeer ruim en proper appartement, op een prachtig resort. Onmiddellijk vakantiegevoel.
Wel risico op lawaai-overlast door luidruchtige buren tot 's avonds laat.
Voor ons zijn goede bedden ook belangrijk, wat hier wel dik tegenviel (erg harde matrassen).
Al bij al een zeer leuk verblijf gehad: leuk zwembad, lekker restaurant en ontbijt, zeer vriendelijk personeel, prachtige ligging, ...
Toch blijft dit resort wel erg prijzig voor een toch verouderd appartement.
