Beautiful resort in need of some updating
We booked a 2 bedroom villa. The night we arrived we were put in an awful villa with old furniture by the gentleman on the night desk. He asked for the Expedia "voucher" which I did not have or know anything about. Perhaps this was the reason why..We complained the next day and to the credit if management were offered 2 very nice alternatives. We opted for a 3 bedroom villa which was very comfortable apart from the somewhat hard beds.
Would I go back? Most definitely! Good points are as mentioned above the attentive management, the location, the facilities in the resort and ability to have a great holiday here.

Peaceful location
Lovely villa and setting.
On a hill so very windy though.
Need a car.
Algarve is beautiful, lots to see.
We only ate at The Italian restaurant once, it was the dearest meal we had during the week.
Restaurants in Salema (2 we tried) were good value, clean and very good food. We also ate at a restaurant in Lagos and a morning snack in Alvor but other than that we self catered.

Relaxing holiday.
Stayed in a villa with two bedrooms. Clean, very quiet, nice pool, three restaurants. A very enjoyable holiday. I'd suggest that you hire a car to get to beaches, towns, etc. Grocery store is close by (4-5 minutes by car).
