Comments from previous renters:
'A relaxing holiday in a really lovely apartment which has everything you need, you are spoilt for choice as to which balcony to sit out on. The location within the resort is ideal for the golfers in your party, the clubhouse/restaurant and the beautiful beach, which we had to ourselves most days, all are within walking distance. We will definitely book again next year'.
'The apartment was lovely, it was spacious, well appointed and well situated for the golf course and the club house. We had a very enjoyable stay in your apartment and even though we played golf every day it was wonderful to get back and enjoy sitting in the sunshine, on the balcony (great sun trap) with a cold glass of wine/beer until the sun disappeared. The pool and its surroundings was very clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone and would consider using it again in the future if we come back to that area of Portugal'.
Golf:
The resort is built round a golf course which has been rated by 'GolfWorld' as being in the top 100 courses in the world. In 2007 Praia-D'El Rey was chosen by leading golf tour operators as 'Best European Golf Resort' and as 'Portugal's Leading Resort 'by the World Travel Awards. The course is very attractive, combining the best features of links courses with those of parkland courses. Some of the holes have spectacular views over the Atlantic. The course is magnificently maintained and is challenging for low handicappers while not being intimidating for the weekend golfer. Savings on green fees can be made by booking starting times on-line.
