just returned on 25th june and really enjoyed it. Ok the rooms are a bit dated but how much time do you spend in them. The bar staff are bonkers and make your stay a lot of fun, beer is only 1.5 euro per pint and goes down well in the heat. The old town is beautiful and some great... more

We went on a budget, all booked separately, flights accom etc. Cannot fault appts for what we paid at all. Staff really friendly and looked after us the whole time. Appts spacious and clean. Basic but being well travelled know what to expect. You want the Ritz - pay for it!!!!! As said, this was cheap and really good value.... more

Starting with the positives the owners Rui and Jorge and the barman Jao were excellent, they really made our trip fun. The Bar has good evening entertainment and the pool and terrace area are really nice and quiet and communal toilets were cleaned regularly. The rooms on the other hand, in the apartments blocks across a main road, were not... more

Went here with my g/f, her daughter and daughters boyfriend, we read good/bad reports but we saw nothing bad about the place. We asked for adjoining rooms; no problem, we were met at reception by Rui [james bond] who allocated our rooms. We had a one bedroom apt per couple and both were large and comfortable, the cooker was a... more

The studio we were staying has all the basic things for self catering, all very clean. Two big supermarkets are within 100m, and the basic food, vegetables, fruits are all well priced, comparing to those in the UK, which made the life in that week so easy as we are not food explorers. The staff were very friendly and helpful,... more

The rooms are very clean with great views, staff were great and couldn't do enough for us all (thanks Jorge and Rui!!!) and the location was ideal, about a fifteen minute... more

My friend and I (both women, 28 and 31) stayed here the week of 5th Oct. I'd read the nightmare reviews previously posted on here and I was very concerned that it would be a cockroach infested dump. That couldn't be more wrong. The worst I saw was a fly or two! We had a ground floor apartment opposite reception... more

Not long back and we cant wait to go again, We are a large family with a disabled toddler and we have had the most fantastic time, the apartments were basic but really clean and a great base for a holiday. The reception staff were really friendly and the kids loved them, the entertainment of a night had us in... more
