The resort is beautifully situated in an upscale area, surrounded by luxurious mansions and manicured lawns. The apartments are spacious and well-kept, offering a peaceful environment. However, the resort currently faces some construction noise and a lack of modern amenities, which may not suit those seeking more activities or convenience during their stay.

Situated close to a serene lake, the location is nice but a bit far from the beach and other activities, making it less ideal for those who want a more vibrant atmosphere.

The pool area is adequate but could use some updates. With only basic amenities like tennis courts and a pool, it may feel underwhelming for guests looking for more entertainment options.

The resort offers a stunning setting within Quinta do Lago, surrounded by beautiful mansions and manicured lawns, which is truly breathtaking. However, there were some downsides, including notable construction work that caused intermittent water and electricity issues during our stay. While the apartment was spacious and clean, the overall facilities felt quite dated and lacking in energy. I wouldn't recommend it for families with teens looking for more activities, although the nearby tranquil lake was a lovely escape.

Rooms

We stayed in a ground floor apartment that was very spacious and clean, featuring a nice private garden. However, the decor and furnishings are quite dated and could use an update.
Service

The reception hours were somewhat inconvenient, only opening at 9:30 AM, which made early check-ins and check-outs a bit tricky. The staff, when available, were friendly and helpful.
Location

The resort's location is quite nice, with easy access to the nearby lake and Quinta beach. However, the distance to shops and the beach can be a hassle, especially in the heat.

We enjoyed the daily delivery of fresh bread, which was a lovely touch, though we missed breakfast on a few occasions due to timing. On-site dining options could be more extensive.
Facilities

The resort had limited facilities, primarily just a pool and a couple of tennis courts, which felt underwhelming, especially for families seeking more activity options.

The resort is beautifully situated within the luxurious Quinta do Lago area, surrounded by stunning mansions and manicured lawns. The apartment we stayed in was spacious, with a lovely private garden, but the overall accommodation felt dated and could use a refresh. While we appreciated the serene atmosphere and enjoyed the nearby lake, the lack of activities and some construction noise were drawbacks. Given the steep price, I might seek other options on my next visit to the area.

Rooms

The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms, although I wasn't expecting the upstairs to be a separate unit, which could have spoiled our privacy.

The resort is nestled within a stunning neighborhood of Quinta do Lago, surrounded by beautiful mansions and manicured gardens. The apartments are spacious and well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay. However, the overall facilities feel a bit dated, and the noise from construction work can be disruptive. While it's a peaceful retreat, families with teens might find it lacking in activities and convenience in accessing local shops.

The resort boasts an idyllic setting in Quinta do Lago with large mansions and manicured gardens, which is simply stunning. However, the ongoing construction and occasional power outages detracted from our experience. While the spacious apartments and private gardens were a plus, the lack of activities and dining options nearby made it less appealing for families, especially those with teens. Unfortunately, the cost of over €400 per night feels high given the limited facilities and services.

Rooms

The apartments were modern, clean, and spacious, although I wasn't expecting the upstairs to be a separate apartment, which affected our garden and pool privacy.
Service

Service from the staff was adequate, but it felt a bit impersonal since our apartment was privately owned, and we didn't receive the full benefits offered to hotel guests.

The resort is located in a beautiful area with a serene atmosphere. However, it is a considerable distance from the beach, which might be a challenge during the heat.
