Average accommodation on the outskirts of Alvor
The accommodation overall was practical with all the mod cons on site. However the property itself we felt was slightly dated and could do with an update ie the bathroom needs updating, beige suite. The shower hook didn't work on the wall so couldn't shower handsfree. The sofabed was uncomfortable but the single beds were ok. The kitchen was ok and we had all the plates and saucepans we needed.
The biggest factor, where this property loses points was the noise of the water sprinklers/generator that came on EVERY day twice a day, once at 7.30am and again just before midnight. The taps were just outside the bedroom window and the noise was very very loud. I woke every morning to this sound. It was impossible to sleep through! And if you were up late by the time it went on again before midnight you'd struggle to get to sleep. Luckily the night time sprinkler lasted a lot shorter than the morning one!
The swimming pool was a 2 minute walk and very small which you share with another apartment block.
The neighbours above woke up very early each morning before 7am and unfortunately I woke up too, where we could hear them walking about and scraping their chairs. That with the sprinklers in the morning was a big no no!
The hair dryer blew up within seconds of using it on the first day or 2 but the agent looking after the property was very helpful and replaced it pretty much the next day.
The agent was great and responded very quickly to any problems we had and actually gave my friend a lift to the airport when she checked out. He was also quick to respond when i complained about the sprinklers.
Sadly I felt it was the owner that let the place down rather than the agent. Maybe the owner should think about giving the apartment an up do with some new furniture and bathroom suite. There doesn't appear to be any other reviews apart from one on this property so I'm not sure if its just recently been rented out?
Other than that the neighbourhood was really really nice and Alvor and the beaches are very pretty. I'd definitely come back just not sure to this property!
