Colina Village

性價比可以 會再去

Czystość pokoju na bardzo słabym poziomie brudna podłoga , pająki na suficie, nieprzyjemny zapach w pokojach oraz samej pościeli.

A nice facility approx 1.5k from the main village of Carvoeiro, Colina Village is a great base for exploring the Algarve. Location-wise it’s ideal for Albufeira, Portimaò and Lagos as well as the two main water parks in the region. An uber to Albufeira cost me €19 and to Carvoeiro if was around €4 a time. Allegedly it’s around €45 to Faro airport but I had transfers so it didn’t worry me. The facility is formed of a number of apartments in a two in a residence formation ie one apartment on the ground floor, one on the first. Reception is at the main entrance. There is an indoor heated pool and a large outdoor non-heated pool, both are very clean and have showers. There is a bar, a restaurant and a couple of tennis court and a small kiddies play area at the back. The apartments consist of bedroom(s), loving room, bathroom, living area, kitchen and an outdoor patio area which is your space but openly accessible from people being curious. The kitchen was well appointed having a fridge freezer, filter coffee maker, toaster, double hob and oven. Ticked a lot of boxes, but it had no kettle so I had to boil water in a pan. No big deal but just took a wee while. The living room had a tv in it, lots of Portuguese/Spanish channels as well as CNN, Sky News and BBC News. The only kiddies channel was in Portuguese but you are in Portugal so don’t knock it. Now the big downside - NO WIFI in the apartments. This was a bit of a pain but I had a reasonable amount of data roaming, but I went with a view to getting some work done and I was quite limited in that. Of course if you are travelling with kids then this could be difficult, likewise if you are looking to hook up your BBC player etc. Overall though I had a pleasant stay, the staff were superb, facilities good and location superb. Would I stay again, well if they had WiFi I’d book again for next year right now but to be fair, I’ll hang off for now as oni do like my digital stuff.

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter

Overall we had a good family experience. The complex was rustic and pretty with flowers but needs serious maintenance work around the pool area. The rooms are spacious, old but clean. A huge plus is the staff experience, all encounters were friendly and helpful, lovely people. Depends on the time of year but we were inundated with mosquitoes so advice is keep doors windows locked and aircon on.

We had a 3 bed apartment. It was huge. Loads of space. We didn't cook much but the kitchen is well equipped with new electric hob, oven, toaster, kettle, coffee maker and microwave. Furniture is dated and a bit shabby but that didn't bother us. There isn't much soundproofing. But we had mostly quiet neighbours. There are sliding doors between two of the bedrooms so privacy is a bit limited. Pool is nice. No scrabble for loungers. Ate in the restaurant and snack bar which was fine. Like most restaurants around Portugal, they do grilled meat and fish well. But other otions are ok. Staff were all lovely. We didn't have a car. Uber and the shuttle bus were enough for us. I think it would be a pain to find parking anywhere around the town anyway.
