Just returned from our stay at this beautiful house. We would like to say what a wonderful time we had. The house was perfect and the outside area, the surrounding was very beautiful and very quiet with access to amazing pools and we could not have wished for anything better. All communication with Ian was very fast and no problems at all. More than 20 years that we spend holidays in portimao, and for sure the best house and host that we had. looking forward to come back soon. Thank you.
overall a very good property with plenty of facilities.
Best beds we have ever slept in for a rental property. very well equipped, great communication with the owner although the reception staff are a little frosty. The Bar staff and the catering on site was exceptional especially on a Thursday evening when a Band came in to the Bar but you must book a table.
Property is in Oasis Parque and backs on to the central Leisure area. This was fine except for one afternoon where they held some kind of outdoor disco which was loud.
There is a small garden which was nice. The welcome pack of bread, butter, milk etc was unexpected and greatly appreciated after a late arrival.
The beds were fantastic- easily the most comfortable that I have experienced in the Algarve.
The only thing we didnât enjoy were the metal shutters on every window which were required to be in place whenever we were out. These were very fiddly at first and meant the apartment never got natural sunlight so was very cold throughout although three oil heaters were provided and these were great. TV never worked at any time but this didnât bother us.
Thanks
We stayed for 2 weeks as a family of 3 adults and one small child.
The Good: The apartment is spacious and well located. Everything (grocery stores, gas stations, beaches, restaurants, shopping mall) all less then 15 minute drive away. There was a small welcome "basket" in the unit upon checking in, which was nice and appreciated. No issues with parking, there was always a spot available. Well stocked if you have small children (highchair, beach toys, and a new addition of a small umbrella stroller we left behind). Well stocked with extra towels and sheets.
The Bad: The apartment was not well cleaned. There was long hair all over the floor, stains on the couches, some of the sheets smelled of body odor. The last thing you want to do after a 7 hour drive is clean and change laundry, so VERY disappointed on this front. When the cleaning service came through at the half way point of our vacation, I noticed she changed all the sheets, but not all the mattress covers. The mattress covers she did remove, she didn't replace with a clean one. Why?? Although the kitchen was "well stocked", it was very disorganized and many of the kitchen items are broken, dented, scratched and are due to be replaced. There wasn't a single extra roll of toilet paper or paper towel provided. Never rented a unit that doesn't have at least one extra roll especially when the one provided is already half used up. A/C worked but had a musty smell, the filter probably needs to be cleaned.
Nette, schone en zeer compleet appartement met een fijne tuin. Vriendelijk contact met de verhuurder, attent. Kinderen hebben genoten van al het aanwezige speelgoed voor op het strand. Heerlijke vakantie gehad, bedankt!
So sorry Ian but nice though the property was, it badly let us down in a lot of ways. It was advertised as being wheelchair friendly but it was very difficult pushing a wheelchair on a path that took us past the downstairs bedrooms of the next door apartment in order to get to the pavement in order to get into the car without using the steps. The kitchen cupboards were filled with so many plates, dishes, cups etc that we had nowhere to put our groceries, except for the fridge, which was being used for bottles of wine, beer and cold drinks because on arrival the temperature was over 30 degrees for the first 4/5 days. Weâve never seen so many kids toys in an apartment before and there were boxes of them. We couldnât find a sunshade anywhere so we had to buy one with a stand as it was so hot. We later did find one but there was no stand making it useless for us. Also, as pensioners 70+ we were not able to reach the cupboards with the plates in etc., without standing on a chair or ladder which at our age, we were loathe to do. However, the main gripe was that we were not told before booking that there was no maid service halfway through our 2 week holiday. It was halfway into our second week when we found a note in the pantry. However, there was no mention of how the bedding was to be washed and dried. We have stayed at this complex 3 times now and this is the first time weâve been asked to change our own bedding. We have always enjoyed these apartments in the past but are seriously considering not using them again.
Spacious property
Nice Jacuzzi and indoor pool in the country club.
Very comfortable beds. The house has everything that you need.
We had a problem with the process of synchronizing the TV but the owner (Mr. Ian) gave a contact of an technical assistance that resolve the problem very quickly.
Kitchen well equipped but pots and pans need to be replaced.
We had a very pleasant stay, will return!
Thanks
We had a wonderful stay in oasis parque, the apartment is lovely & clean very well equipped, with a lovely garden to sit in for breakfast. Canât fault any aspect of it & would definitely book again. Thank you Ian & hope to return one day soon.
The apartment was everything we needed and more. Everything was really clean, the garden was a massive bonus as the 11 month old could crawl around. We didnât cook in the apartment as the cafe onsite was easier for 2 of the 5 nights. We checked in late and the keys were easy to get and the apartment easy to find. We will definitely keep this place in mind for further trips. We found we needed the hire car to get places but there is ample parking and everything is a short drive away and a few nice Reston walking distance. We heard back from the owner promptly and all our questions were answered
De woning ligt in het achterland van Portimao. Een auto is hier wel noodzakelijk. Fraaie uitvalsbasis met eigen tuintje. Schitterend groot zwembad binnen en buiten. Supermarkten in de buurt.
We are a married couple who like a good standard of accommodation when on holiday. We decided to buy as we wanted a home from home where we felt relaxed with some home comforts. Everyone has a hectic life these days so we hope we can provide as many things as possible for you to relax and enjoy your holiday. I hope you like our home as much as we do!
We had had previous holidays in this location and loved it so much we decided to buy a property! We have visited lots of resorts in the Algarve and found that the western Algarve in particular was more family friendly and unspoilt than some of the more central resorts. It has several things that appeals to us, the weather, lots of choice of restaurants and cafes and a good choice of beaches all within a few minutes drive and the golf courses. We also liked the fact that it is well served by several airlines all year round to Faro. Also you can visit different locations very easily we particularly like: Alvor, Praia da Rocha, Lagos and Carvoeiro each with its own merits.
Oasis Parque is unique in the sense that it is a country club with excellent facilities and well maintained grounds and properties, yet within easy reach of various attractions and resorts. We visit our property on a regular basis to ensure it is well maintained and is kept to a high standard. We provide tennis rackets and lots of things for the beach and for those with children we have a travel cot, a booster seat, bottle steriliser and a high chair. The apartment is situated close to the swimming pool and is handy for the cafe but still maintains privacy. We have had plenty of positive feedback and have some clients that come back year after year.
