Quiet place to stay in Algarve
Pros:
1. Quiet location. Neighborhood felt safe.
2. Good amount of space for a family of 5.
3. Pool and hot tub near unit.
4. Kitchen utensils, pots and pans, salt, pepper available.
5. Communication with management was great during business hours.
6. Availability of parking near unit.
7. Washing machine.
Cons:
1. Car dependent unless able to walk into town which is about 25 min.
2. Only one set of towels (bath and hand towel) per person, 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom for a 5 day stay. No shampoo. No paper towels, no dish soap, no extra trash bags, no detergent.
3. The sleeping couch in the living room is dated and extremely uncomfortable with a very thin mattress.
4. All 4 beds have spring mattresses. While we specifically asked about it as we read some of the reviews, we were told that it’s about individual preferences (soft vs firm). After sleeping on those beds, I can assure you that it has nothing to do with a particular preference as I am ok with either one but you can feel the coils just by placing your hand on the mattress. Old mattresses with little to no padding.
5. While the unit had a coffee machine there was no coffee at least for day one. After purchasing the wrong size pods we gave up on the idea of using it.
6. No pool towels while advertising a pool. When we asked about pool towels we were told that we can either purchase those at the store or rent for 5euros per night.
7. Tech came to look at the bath fan. Left dust behind while fan still not fixed.
