Costa Vicentina Kid friendly Holidays

Location was excellent - easy reach of beach and restaurants and we had a wonderful holiday. However, the Nau Swimming Pool was over-run with children and families so we did not use it unfortunately. Further negatives were that there was a dirty nappy left on the balcony from previous occupants and we had to continually go and ask at reception for towels (not enough were supplied and were not replaced until we asked) and also for toilet roll (not enough was supplied and it was not replaced without asking). Another annoying issue was again regarding the supply of the shower gel and body lotion - we had to ask at reception for this to be replenished when it ran out but this should have been done automatically without asking during the cleaning/ normal maintenance. Also, the patio doors on the lower floor where the bedrooms were did not lock so we ended up having the shutters closed for the whole stay which was not ideal.

The pool was as advertised. We didn't get a chance to use due to our later arrival and 1 night stay. The internet was very sketchy. It was difficult to make calls and connections were dropped. We were hiking and we had a bit of a walk to get to our place. There were no amenities such as coffee, water, or salt/pepper. No store was nearby and getting any groceries would have involved a 3 mile round trip on foot. There were also no restaurants or cafes nearby. We were provided with a fan for each bedroom. The air was quite still and it was hot making it difficult to sleep even with the windows open. The mattresses were quite hard and I slept on the couch also hard but not as bad. Everything was clean but quite dated. If you have a car and access to shops and restaurants, it might be ok but if you are hiking this is not the place for you.

Excellent location, views, amenities and team No on site parking, you have to find your own
