Excellent stay, plenty of pools to relax at. The rooms were a great size with a large variety of channels on the TV including Sky Sports. Kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was very good in the bedroom and the living room. If you wanted to unwind then everything on site Including Spar so you don't have to move.

Nice hotel with great amenities. Apartment spacious. However, room was not cleaned or towels changed until after 4 days, despite asking. Toilet also not very clean with mould on tiles. Had to buy soap as dispenser empty, even after clean.

We booked a one bedroom apartment and were delighted with the location, it has a well equipped kitchen, large lounge/dining area, two balconies plus ample parking. We were about one minutes walk from the nearest pool which had a snack bar staffed by a lovely woman who helped me with my Portuguese pronunciation. There were ample loungers by the pool and immaculately clean toilets.
