This is the first time we've been to the Algarve. Others had recommended it. I was very impressed with the resort as a whole. The staff were very friendly & helpful. Nothing was too much effort for them. Our villa in the Quintina Village & the whole resort was beyond expectation. Very clean, comfortable, well equipped & peaceful. I would imagine in season it might be a bit more hectic. We had half board & found the food to be of a high standard with a good varied choice of a 3 course meal in the evenings. It is a bit secluded but they have a courtesy bus to the nearest small beach holiday town. Their own beach is a 20-30 min walk depending on how fast you can walk. Walking back is uphill so took us longer. Walking is not our forte. The beaches are lovely & clean as well with beautiful fine sand. They have numerous restaurants & a supermarket nearby as well so an outdoor laundrette, much to my amusement, although the villa had a washing machine, clothes horse & pegs, iron & ironing board all supplied. All in all we really had a fantastic week there & will be going there again
