Luxury close to beach and picturesque villages
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
We simply loved our stay at this appartment, which felt like staying in a five star hotel - it had functional and modern appliances, and rooms were nicely appointed, each with their own private balcony (!).
The single beds were small though comfortable, and could be joined to make a double bed (be careful not to fall in the crack, however). The maid service was efficient - coming twice during the week to clean up and change bedding/towels.
The appartment is very close to a nice pool and a mini market which was great to get milk and some "basic" gourmet products (such as Hagen-Daaz!).
The resort itself is rather spectacular, with an award-winning golf course (too bad we don't play!), 5-star Mariott hotel (with pool, spa, etc.) and an amazing beach (though the latter is supervised, waves can be strong - so be careful).
You need a rental car to take advantage of what this property has to offer (rental cars are available from the Marriott, with cheaper prices than those from the airport!).
If you don't feel like driving to Lisbon or Porto, there are several nice villages to visit close by, all within 30 minutes of driving time - Peniche, Nazare, Obidos, Alcobaca, Sao Martinho de Porto, etc. Take the local roads if you have the time - they are well maintained, signage is fine, and scenery is great.
We would hapily return to this property - which hopefully says it all !!!
