There was everything we needed from fully equipped kitchen to a decent hairdryer. Three patio doors from the lounge to the wrap around terrace. Gated complex felt really safe and the pool area is lovely with no fighting for sunbeds. Restaurants and bars are close by and it is only about 10 minutes to the centre of Alvor and to the beach. There is a smart TV but no British channels on it. The patio chairs and table are wooden and it would have been nice to have a more comfy chair to lounge on outside. Other than that, it was perfect and so clean. Would definitely return. ##### Carol T.
