Reviews
![]() 30 Aug 2011 |
Twenty of us travelled to Praia Da Luz this April from all corners of Europe for my nieces christening party. We were travelling with my parents and two young children so the needs were slightly similar - good access and preferably quiet! Having searched the web and enquired about at least 30 apartments we chose Stephens apartment in Estrela da Luz and cripes did we pick a winner. There is no doubt we were in the most luxurious yet comfortable and child friendly accommodation of all of our extended group. The little touches such as beach towels, parasols, books and toys made a world of difference to our packing. There was sun on one of the many balconies at all times, the staff were fabulous, the bar/restaurant was great value, the resort was amazing - I have to stop gushing. This is a fabulous resort with everything one could need for a fantastic holiday, great beach, fabulous restaurants, 5 star accommodation - I hope we will be able to return in the near future (we were pretty blessed with the weather to boot!!) |
