“Lovely property but terrible communication.”
+The property was nice, modern and in a good location. It had everything we needed and a comfortable bed.
−The communication was very bad. we received no communication from the owner at all. We paid in full via booking.com and despite contacting several times before travelling to understand how to check in we were not responded to. We arrived with no check in details and still no response from the owner. Long story short, we eventually got access but this was a stressful situation they took no responsibility for and no apology.

“Great location, comfortable stay with a few areas for improvement”
+The location in Block C was excellent, within easy walking distance of the beach and town, with a supermarket just a few hundred metres away. The double bed was very comfortable, the apartment was clean on arrival, and there was plenty of storage space. The pool area was spacious,and extremely clean and the pool staff were extremely friendly. Check-in and check-out were straightforward, and we experienced no issues with nighttime noise from the restaurants and bars within the complex.
−Although the apartment was clean on arrival, it is starting to show signs of neglect. One of the table seats needs repairing, and the sofa is looking worn and could benefit from a deep clean. The washing machine was particularly disappointing, as it appeared to have mould inside and left our clothes covered in little black particles after use. The shower has excellent water pressure, but due to the way it is installed, using it above halfway results in water flooding across the bathroom floor. We worked out how to manage it, but it is a shame you cannot enjoy a powerful shower without soaking the bathroom. Having stayed in many apartments across Europe booked through Booking.com, we found the provisions very basic. Only two toilet rolls, four towels and hand soap were provided, with no cleaning products or even a bottle of water. A few extra essentials would make the apartment feel more welcoming. Communication and information could also be improved. We received no reply to our initial message through the Booking.com app, although a text message was promptly answered. There was no information in the apartment explaining how to access the pool, so we had to ask at reception. Check-i

“Beautiful apartment close to all local life.”
+Apartment was beautiful and clean. Plenty of space and close to all local night life. I felt comfortable in the property. The kitchen had all the equipment to cook.
−We didn’t have the codes to get in the apartment or of where our apartment was on arrival. But the issue was soon sorted. Also would have preferred a double bed.

“We had the best time in Alvor. It was our first trip away with our 9 month old and Dunas so Alvor was so comfortable and”
+Great location and nice spacious apartment
−The only thing that was annoying when we were there was that the elevator by the door that we had a key to didn’t work for most of the stay and the door by the other elevators was closed a lot and we didn’t have a key for it which meant my husband had to walk around and go in to open the door for me and our 9 month old in the buggy. But it wasn’t an issue just more annoying

“Bom apartamento para férias curtas”
+Apartamento confortável e bonito, limpo Piscina muito limpa Cama muito confortável e ar condicionado no quarto que é imprescindível
−Péssima comunicação da proprietária… tive de ser eu a pedir instruções para fazer check in, para saber se tinha garagem e podia usar, como usar a piscina… o comum nestes casos é haver pelo menos uma mensagem automática com isso tudo e nem isso. Também há regras diferentes para quem pode usar a piscina (no nosso caso tínhamos de pagar algumas utilidades por exemplo e não sabíamos porque não fomos informados). Tem ar condicionado no quarto o que é perfeito mas seria melhor ter também na sala/cozinha. Bate muito o sol no apartamento e mesmo baixando as persianas, fica muito calor.

“Lovely apartment in a great complex, everything needed for your holiday”
+This was our first trip to Alvor and the accommodation couldn’t have been better. The apartment is privately owned and had everything anyone would need from a full size fridge, cooker with oven, washing machine, dish washer, toaster etc and a proper king size bed (not two joined). There was also a walk-in shower, air con in the bedroom & safe. The balcony overlooks a square with the Chill Out bar but we were never disturbed by any noise etc. the Dunas apartment complex is about 6 min walk from the town & lovely beach & boardwalk is about 8/10 mins max. The pool area is secure with a key card needed to enter this area & there is also a lovely garden area to lie under the trees if preferred. Also on site are another few bars, laundrette, restaurant, bakery and little shop for essentials Overall we had a fabulous stay and will definitely be back
