Mixed bag for us. The apartment was spacious and pretty clean. The beds were comfortable and the landscaping was lovely and picturesque. We had an odd smell in the master bathroom that came and went. I did come across a cockroach but just the one. I didn’t complain as I just dealt with it but including for transparency. The kitchen was clean and well stocked with pots, pans, plates etc. Breakfast was the same for the entirety of our stay. Was filling but the lack of variation meant it became a bit boring quite quickly. Had to ask a few times for extra as you got a standard spread. Jose and most of the staff were lovely and really flexible, they gave us a packed lunch as our early flight meant we miss led breakfast. However the complex felt a little bit like a retirement home. There was no entertainment and no atmosphere. The one shop there was closed during our stay and there wasn’t loads to do around the area, can recommend restaurant Valeiro which is a five minute walk, and the swallow bar wasn’t far but we didn’t get a chance to visit, the Beijinhos beach is a 10 minute walk away and lovely but has no amenities so bring your gear and swim shoes as it gets rocky in the water. The kids enjoyed the pool and the beer in the restaurant (where you had breakfast) were good and reasonably priced. The Vila vita complex that sits behind Turiquintas appears to be the dominant force in the area. Although our stay was fine I’m afraid we wouldn’t go back.
