About 25 minutes away from the airport. Everywhere you go in taxis, they all provide car seats which funny enough I haven’t been to a country which provide them as usually they just sit on your lap. Cooking facilities in the apartment were great. Instead of eating out every night as we had two babies with us, we stayed in and cooked food, everything you need was already there, pots and pans, cooking utensils. There’s also a washing machine, hair dryer and the tv is great! I have the same tv at home so was ideal. There were loads of British channels, so that night when we stayed in we were able to watch something. They also have numerous of children’s channels, nikelodeon, Disney channel, cebebies, good for when we had to get ready in the mornings. There wasn’t a bath but that didn’t phase us, my 4 year old showered and my 11 month old had a bath in the sink. There was BBQ facilities in the garden which would be great if you had a family and friends with you.
There’s a local super market which has everything you need. Fruit, veg bread butter meat, so on..
also on the complex were a few restaurants.
1.2 miles away, 6€ in a taxi, was the Vilamoura marine, there was a beach to one side and marina on the other. we took a nice walk along the dock, loads of amazing and expensive boats/yachts to have a look at. There were a lot of shops and restaurants along there. We had cleaners come in and give us a bin liner and fresh towels after two days, no one came in then for the rest of the holiday and I would advise maybe after another 3 days to come in again and check if everything is ok, change the bin liner and bed sheets only because our lovely 11 month old baby, decided to spew absolutely everywhere, which went over the bedding, I tried to work the washing machine but weren’t sure how to use it as no lights were coming on, it wasn’t a problem in the end.
Would definitely come back again and are even considering getting married here !
