It is only fair and deserved to start with the positives. The property was clean and in good condition. The kitchen has everything you would need for self catering and again everything was clean. The outside area was what we expected and provided a good area for our 2 year old to play in the shade when needed. It was also good that the double doors from the living area opened up, so that we could be sat outside whilst our boy flitted in and out. This helped to create a relaxing holiday for us all. The communal pool area is clean and well maintained. It was also very quiet and we were often the only ones there. The pool is 60 seconds from the bungalow, so easy access. We loved going down to the pool.
The bungalow was cleaned by the management mid week but you can also opt out.
The only negative and the only reason I would probably not stay again was the fact that there is no air conditioning in the small bedroom. The response from management was that we should put the air con on in the other rooms and leave the door open. However, the reason we booked a bungalow was to be able to put our boy to sleep at night and still be able to sit in the living space or outside but instead we had to switch all the lights off, keep the air con in the living space and go to our bed, so that we didn’t disturb him. We did get a fan on request but it didn’t really effect the room temp.
This was the only negative for me.
Location is not great but it didn’t bother us. The supermarket in faro2 is close enough, we walked to a few restaurants and a taxi to the Yumbo Center was €3 each way. Holiday world is 2mins away.
We didn’t go but El Nero restaurant in faro 2 got really good reviews and the international restaurant just outside the supermarket do good pizza (I got a take away).
The New Rustico tapas was brilliant. (20 mins walk) and the chineese next door ok, although doesn’t look much from first impressions.
Yumbo Center has lots of options. We ate in a Mexican, royal restaurant and the Italian next door. All recommended.
A couple of tapas in the centre recommended.
