It's in the details

After the pleasant surprise of the high ceilings on our 3rd floor apartment there were little niggly things that dragged the experience down. The TV was very tiny for such a large living room. We had to move the furniture closer to watch TV. The headroom on one side of the loft master bedroom was inadequate (I'm 6' tall). Not enough light in the large ensuite. The dishwasher door needed to be forced to close properly. All this small stuff that was wrong kept popping up - it's like the design wasn't thought out 100%, just got to 90% instead.

GREAT ACCOMMODATION

Could not fault this complex. The apartments were spacious and very well equipped, clean and the staff were very helpful. This complex impressed us so much that we are intending to return at the end of the season for another week of relaxation, comfort and good food.. Local buses to take you to other resorts in the area.

Great Apartment

I stayed on my own for five nights at the beginning of Dec, excellent roomy apartment , very well equipped, good underfloor heating, just two slight negatives ; the bed was a little hard, but as it was warm I slept on top of the duvet which was more comfitable also there is very little hanging space in the basic apartment, ok for me on my own for a short stay but not so good for a couple on a longer trip. I had a look at the one bedroom apartments while I was there and that had an excellent full size wardrobe, when I go back with my husband I will defiantly pay the extra an book that instead of the basic apartment . The position of the hotel is ok, five min walk to the beach but quite a step hill to come back, not too bad if your fit. A fair amount of reasturants/bars near by plus two good size supermarkets if your self catering. Luz itself is a pleasant village that has a brilliant beach and is just a short bus ride away from busy Lagos. Overall a really nice break.

Second time in this hotel, although stayed in Praia Da Luz many times before. Very happy with facilities, service and especially location, 5 minutes walk to the beach and bars, shops etc. It's a great base to explore the Western/Central Algarve region and we will be back again!

Below my Expectations

This complex did not live upto *5 star status. I could not use the balconies due to the high winds, they never eased.Informed by management it was due to the wind direction, for the 1st time ever, changing direction.I checked via weather websites nothing supported this claim, the direction of the tree trunks also suggested the wind blew towards the Atlantic Ocean. The internet is poor, every time I entered a site it crashed, I need the internet when on holiday,I could not even view my security cameras from the complex. Had to walk down the hill every day to local pubs for a good internet signal, this resulted in additional costs as I needed to purchase a drink every time I visited.The desktop computers at reception did not work.The complex has 2 outside pools (1 for families & 1 for over 16yrs).There was a constant noise around the pools which sounded like a jumbo jet in the distance taxi-ing down a run-way which was very annoying.I discovered the noise was coming from the family pool area, there was 3/4 large condensers located at ground level, the noise was a lot worse at the lower pool, not ideal for families in my opinion. We decided to use the local beaches rather than the complex pool. De Luz is a quiet location, if you need lots of bars & restaurants you need to travel to Lagos which is a 20min bus ride or 10min drive.In my opinion this is a good 3*+ complex with 5* prices.This complex is off my list to re-visit or recommend

Wonderful apartment, brilliant location.

Stayed in apartment D2E for one week, arriving back yesterday. Lovely modern apartment, fully equipped with everything you need. There is an adult only pool (aged 16+) and a family pool as well as an indoor pool, spa & modern gym. Plenty of sun beds. The bed in the apartment was very hard, but not really a problem for us as it was only a week. The staff were very helpful & friendly. Hugo & Vitor from the Calabasas Ristorante on site make the best sangria & pizza in Luz!!! You have to try this. Car rental is not needed unless you want to explore the surrounding areas & national parks. The beach, supermarket & bars/restaurants are all within walking distance. There is a reliable and cheap bus service from Luz if you want to explore Lagos or further afield. It was a lovely holiday & we can't wait to go back. Excellent location, wonderful 4* apartment & friendly staff & locals. Would recommend this to couples, families or friends looking for a relaxing getaway. If you want a lively party holiday then go to Albufeira!

Fantastic time in Estrela

Apartment was really big, very clean and had everything you would need right down to powder that you might use for the dishwasher and washing machine, some bathroom toiletries and even a first aid box! We had a 3 bed apartment and the balcony was huge, with loungers as well as a table and chairs. Easy to walk down to the prom and beach area. Pools were lovely. Two food shops very near - Spar and Baptista. Lovely restaurants nearby. Great holiday.
