Accomodatie. Weinig spullen in de keuken

Carvoeiro was fantastic! Plenty going on, nice beach too, but a far cry from the likes of other places which have been invaded by Irish bars/steak houses etc. (I like them by the way, just not with family/young kids in tow!). The outdoor swimming pools and surrounding area were spacious and well-kept (plenty of sun loungers assuming you don't turn up midday... even then we did find a couple). There are plenty of families with children here too which was welcome. Some groups of younger folk but no daft behaviour/noise from them really (bar one plonker thinking he was in Ibiza dancing round poolside - bless him!). The apartment was MASSIVE!

The apartments were a strange mix of recently renovated (e.g. kitchen/bathroom) and old battered decor (living space/bedrooms/'balconies'). But, even the renovated areas were grubby/tired/worn. It feels like malfunctioning time-travel! Overall, the quality of the apartment was lacking, more akin to 2-star stays I think. Ants.... there were that many I'm sure I brought some home in my pants! Still, it was nice to brush one's teeth with much company! The oven didn't work well at all... we ended up grilling a pizza which is a first (I wouldn't recommend!) The indoor pool and the areas surrounding it (Changing rooms/toilets) were dirty. The location is so-so. Luckily we had a car, I wouldn't have liked to walk to Carvoeira, particularly with kids.
