Hi Lillian Just a few lines to let you know that we had a great holiday. Apartment, complex and village all first class. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. First week quiet, second week much busier. Enjoyed our day trips to Albufeira, area around Sagres and kids had great time in Zoomarine. Would thoroughly recommend your apartment - spacious, comfortable, fab balcony and the position, overlooking the pool, was perfect. N Hanney (August 2008)
