26.10.17The apartment hotel is excellent, super clean, generous well appointed apartments with everything you could possibly need. The 1 bedroom seaview apartments are beautiful.
Right at your doorstep is the Ponta da Piedade beautiful boardwalk, not to be missed, the views are spectacular, 2 hour return walk to the lighthouse.
The Praia Dona Ana(beach) is a 2 min walk, a long staircase ( 50 steps)to get down to beach.
Lagos is a 17 min walk on sidewalks, there is also a bus #2 or the Lagos tourist train that both stop in the parking area right outside the hotel.
In the local neighborhood two great places to get food are Sunrays Kitchen, great breakfast and Super Eureka small but extremely well stocked grocery store, both are a 15 min walk.
The hotel has a pool and the main hotel Costa D'Oiro, has a pool, sauna and restaurant, a 5 min walk away.
If you take the train to Lagos I recommend you take the #2 bus, weekend schedule is limited, or a Bolt, otherwise it is a hilly 40 minute walk. The train station to centre of Lagos is a 20 minute walk.
26.07.20We stayed in a one bedroom apartment at the rear of the building. It was spacious, clean, had 2 bathrooms and basic kitchen utensils. It’s a 100m walk to the beach, and about 5 mins walk to the main resort where there is a larger pool & restaurant you can make use of. There is an abandoned resort building next door that at some point will be under construction, it detracts from the view, but it does not cause any problems. The apartments are modern & cheap for the area, the price, cleanliness and proximity to the old town and beach make these a great place to stay.
26.07.08We had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel.
The location is fantastic—just steps from the beach, making it incredibly convenient for swimming and enjoying the seaside. The hotel is modern, well-maintained, and everything feels new. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was especially appreciated in the hot weather. The room was well equipped with quality branded appliances, and we particularly loved the large balcony, which was perfect for relaxing and very convenient for drying clothes.
The room was also well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
One small downside was the housekeeping service. Although there is someone available to answer the phone 24 hours a day, housekeeping is not available after 6:00 pm. We only needed an extra rubbish bag, but unfortunately no one was able to help us at that time.
Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. The excellent location, modern facilities, and comfortable room made it a great place to stay, and we would happily return.
26.04.20No AC or heat control a guest can control.
The huge building next to the hotel is an abandoned property with graffiti all around.
Some good things about this place is the proximity to beach, about 100 m and plenty room.
26.02.23The highlight of this property is its location, you walk to the right for miles on end with stunning views of the algarve coast, walk to the left and you reach the cute downtown within a mile, and you can continue on. You are literally steps away from the beach where people drive miles to get to. No 403 flat had sunrise views. The heated floors of the bathroom was such a pleasant surprise! Even though we knew the unit didn’t have a washer it’s very evident from the spot that maybe they’re planning to install one which would be great. The kitchen was sparse except for the Braun electric juicer and the toaster. There was only one sharpish but very small knife, a standard brew coffee machine which is very small like 4 cups, and no condiments like salt pepper, etc. Although they have a dishwasher there was no dish drying rack. We’d love to come back for a longer term stay but without a washer, an espresso machine, a few more knives, we couldn’t consider this property. For 6 days it was perfect!
