Beautiful apartment, fantastic location

Review Submitted: November 19, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
We've just returned from Firstgreen where we had a brilliant holiday. The apartment and resort exceeded my expectations and they were already high. The property and resort were perfectly maintained and the facilities had everything we needed. We loved the indoor pool and gym and all the boys thought the golf at Boavista and other nearby courses was fantastic. The non golfers even made use of the driving range.

The food and service in the clubhouse were a really high standard, we had dinner twice which was excellent and reasonably priced. The outdoor patio overlooking the 18th green is also a lovely place to sit over a coffee.

We did have a car and made use of it most days by driving 5 minutes to Luz which is a gorgeous place where you can watch the most stunning sunsets. This has a lovely beach but we alse found the beaches of Salema and Burgau to be scenic and quiet too.

I really can't praise the apartment and resort highly enough and Phil was really helpful and patient even when I changed and extended my booking. Thanks for a great holiday.

Review Submitted: October 11, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
arrival slightly dissapointed with the interior very end of season not helped by the fact we had two faulty shutters. slow responce from careways .this is our third visit to boavista whilst we loved the location of your apartment lack of dressing ,poor tv plus overrun with ants ,nevertheless had afab holiday we will be back in2012 .the owner provided good custumer service and acted very quickly when informed about shutters
Recommended for:  Age 55+
Owner's Response: We appreciate all feedback, however we were very surprised to read the comments as they are unrepresentative of our other reviews and guests experiences.

I'm not sure what 'the interior very end of season' means? The apartment is furnished and cleaned to a high standard, with modern furnishings and everything holidaymakers could wish for (see previous 'home from home' reviews). There are photographs on the advert and more on our website which show the interior. If anything, the interior has been improved since the photos were taken.

The guests reported that the electric shutter became slow when closing. This occurred during their stay as neither the previous guests or housekeeping reported any issues. Once notified, maintenance attended straight away and although the shutters still worked (but slow) replacement motors were ordered from the manufacturer and fitted a few days later.

Regarding 'poor TV' there are 3 TV’s with sky multi room? The sky channels are the same throughout the resort.

The apartment is on a golf course which attracts nature. As with most European countries ants can occur if food is left around. We provide a supply of ant killer solution to combat this. However, housekeeping weren't made aware of any concerns about ants even though they attend to the apartment daily.

It should be noted that the guests stayed for over a month and other than the shutters issue (which was promptly resolved) no other issues were brought to either ours or the housekeepers attention - so we weren't given the opportunity to address these points raised.

family of four parents and two teenagers

Review Submitted: July 19, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
Our teenagers had finished state exams and we all needed down time. Boavista gave us everything we needed. A beautiful outdoor pool with spotless showering facilites, a fantastic indoor pool with an amazing jacuzzi and very helpful bar staff in the club house. The huge number of restaurants in Lagos meant that eating out offered enormous choice. Three tv's in the apartment, one in each bedroom plus the lounge meant that as we relaxed between pool and dinner everyone's needs for the box were met.We had coverage of gaelic matches on Sunday a must for Irish GAA supporters. The two large balconies gave us plenty of personal space. All four of us would have liked to stay longer. None of us chose to play golf during our stay but we enjoyed watching the golfers from both balconies. The only minor irritation were ants in the kitchen if any food or drink was left out. We had said that we were allergic to feather duvets and had been supplied with non allergenic duvets, which we actually didn't need, yet it was great to know that they were there should we need them.

Owner's Response: Unfortunately ants can surface during the summer months, they are attracted to food. To try and deter them we provide tupperware storage containers and raid ant bait. Thanks for the review.

Absolutely Fabulous

Review Submitted: June 27, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We have just returned home this afternoon after spending two weeks at the above apartment, we visited Sept 10 and couldn't wait to return.
The place is wonderful the health spa and both indoor & out door pools are fab.
There is plenty of places to visit lots of lovely local beaches.
Slide and splash is a great fun day out.
The Grotto and Caves tour is well worth a trip
Food is good where ever you eat The Fort at Luz is very nice.
If you go to Albufeira the American Diner is a must especially deserts if you have a very sweet tooth.
There is something for everyone & the apartment is fantastic a opportunity not to be missed.

Fantastic resort - excellent accomodation

Review Submitted: May 10, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We have just stayed in the First Green apartment for two weeks with our two boys aged 12 and 14 and we all had a most wonderful holiday. The apartment was everything we had hoped for from reading previous reviews, large, clean, with excellent facilities. The grounds of the resort are beautifully kept and very clean. The use of the spa turned out to be one of the highlights for us as the well equipped gym, jacuzzi and swimming pool were always very quite and we ended up there nearly every day at onr point at another.

We are not golfers but this did not matter one bit, and making use of the extensive information package the owner had provided we explored many of the lovely local beaches for surfing or just sunbathing, walked several of the cliff paths, cycled and visited the pretty local villages.

We ate in the restaurant at the resort and I treated myself to a beauty treatment, both very pleasant experiences with friendly and professional staff. We found that this rental was excellent value for money and definately intend to return.

Helpful owners, overall very good experience, would recommend it to friends.

Owner's Response: Thanks for the review Sally. It's great to see you made the most of the facilities and surrounding area. As you say, the resort also has a lot to offer to non-golfers, infact many guests aren't golfers but love the setting..
