It is in a secure complex with locked gates. The owner met us upon our arrival and we even had a welcome gift which was lovely. The apartments are within a 5 minute walk to the main part of Alvor and the beautiful beach is only a 5 minute walk in the opposite direction. There is a large supermarket around the corner, the whole complex is very clean and the pool area looked lovely although we didn't use it because of the time of year. I will definitely return to these apartments without any hesitation whatsoever. ##### Tracy H.
