The apartment is located in a quiet area near the golf course and around a 15 minute walk to the beach/praca. The supermarket is around 1km away.
The apartment is beautiful and very well appointed, there is a large balcony from the living area which is nicely shaded from lunchtime onwards so great for sitting out on. We also loved the jacuzzi on the roof terrace (obviously it does not need heating!) and spent time relaxing there under the umbrella when it got too hot, it was a great plus for the apartment, we could sunbathe if our son wanted to get out of the sun and just chill in the apartment. There is everything you need for a self catered stay, it is very secure and safe and the apartment is very spacious.
The swimming pool is a five minute walk away at the tennis club, which was great (drinks and food are well priced there), and the Well is a good place to spend a day (more of a beach club). You definitely need the Val cards for getting around the resort on the shuttle, they are worth getting. Ubers are also plentiful and great value.
We liked the restaurants on the way out of the resort (Bamboo, Alambique, there is also a highly recommended Indian which we didn’t get to try) and on the beach (Julia’s) and Tinto at the Praça was lovely.
The beaches are beautiful and lovely to walk along.
Would highly recommend the apartment.
