“Great Apartment in a Central Location” This apartment has everything you need and some things you don't! The apartment is very clean, well maintained and secure. We stayed for just over a week and the location is great for exploring the Algarve. Close to a new supermarket and some very good restaurants in walking distance this is a great place to stay. The balconies get the sun all day, so if you don't want to go out you can still get the sunshine. You will have everything you need from sewing kits to sun hats and there are plenty of things to amuse kids if you take them. The pool in the complex is huge and is clean and well maintained and Tiramusi restaurant has great food and service. Will be booking this apartment again without doubt.

“Great apartment and location” Lovely apartment in complex, perfectly clean, lots of towels, great facilities, SKY TV, video and dvd to keep the kids happy after the beach/pool. Heard nothing from neighbouring apartments. Fantastic pool, with restaurant which has super friendly staff. Cheap but really good quality food - the best in the immediate area. 10 minute walk to supermarket. Less than 10 euro in taxi to Villamoura (which is lively with loads of shops/restaurants), 10 euro to Vale de lobo (but 20 back !) which is posher and has stunning beach and restaurants. Really recommend this apartment. Only perceived downside for some maybe location as it is detached, but for us we liked that as you can leave the hustle and bustle behind for peace and tranquility. Great comms by Tony who owns the property really good service thank you.

Guestbook for Al Sakia-for families/golfers

Del and Linda Barnby from Middlesex- September 2005

"We really had a great time and we can't thank you enough for letting us use your apartment. It really is home from home with all the comforts.
Isn't it well situated too? Bang in the central Algarve with great beaches, interesting places to visit and high quality restaurants where the only difficulty is which one to choose. Those stretches between Fonte Santa, Almancil and Vale de Lobo have some great eating places plus there are plenty of more simple alternatives all within striking distance."

Chris, Joe and Connor from Bedfordshire- June 2007

"The apartment was very accomodating and comfortable. A great location with a fantastic pool and the ability to explore the Algarve"

The Cridlands from Brighton- September 2007

"Fantastic time had by all. The apartment was superb and very comfortable - a real home from home. Will definitely come back again and will recommend to our family and friends"

The Murtys from Leicester - September 2008

"Myself and the family just want to say thank you for the apartment - it was out of this world, very clean and modern. We had a lovely holiday and the kids loved it and really enjoyed Portugal and would definatley return for another visit in the future."
