Fantastic apartment in great location.
Apartment was spacious, light and had great features, air con, drying room, cable tv, modern facilities, over sized bed in main bedroom, whirlpool bath, steam shower, secure underground parking...really fantastic.
The apartment is on the ground floor, literally 25 feet to the pool which is large and spacious and gives you lots of flexibility to go in and out of the apartment and pool, with the bonus that you can also keep a watchful eye on the kids! On odd days the pool area became quite busy, but never to the point of being crowded.
The location of the apartment was good, if you take the short cut a 5 minute walk to the nearest supermarket and to a great mini-golf centre, 15 minutes to the heart of the marina. We didnt walk to the beach, I but I would guess it was a good 20 minute walk, 5 minute drive. The beach has plenty of sun beds / shades and is great for the kids, though the pool area at the apartment was so good we couldnt prise our son away to the beach for long!
Vilamoura is a great base for exploring the remainder of the Algarve, great apartment and we would definitely return here if we visit the Algarve again!
Great trips out: Zoomarine, Krazy World, Loule Market, Almancil Karting, Aquashow, Dolphin safaris at the Marina and a trip on "The Sea Rocket"
Marina restaurants recommended: La Fragata and Mayflower were our favourites (75-100 euros for 3), Cais I and Nosovo Italia slightly cheaper options with good quality menu and food.
