Good
Traveller Type:
  : The location to the sea front. Heaters in the room.
  : The photos on the website look better than the room, which was a bit tired looking but that didn't compromise the comfort.

  : Apartment-Nice apartment, spacious, clean, had what we needed.The kitchen had a hob, fridge, sink, cutlery, plates, utensils, pots and pans, etc. Only thing the kitchen was missing was scissors and a peeler.Lovely big sofa in the living area that can convert into two single beds.The bed in the bedroom was massive (either king or bigger!) and comfortable. The pillows were not so good but the duvet was nice and they supplied extra blankets in the wardrobe.The shower was easy to use and high power which helped to get all the sand off.We also had a balcony.Location-Lovely spot, right on the doorstep of the Praia das Macas beach (3 min walk). The 'town centre' (4 min walk) itself had a supermarket (supermercado camarao) which had everything we needed to make our own food, including gluten free bread and biscuits. There were a couple of bar/ cafes in the town that we visited, we especially liked Barmacia which had a great view of the beach and a stack of games to play. There was also a pharmacy in the centre. Its a quiet little place on the coast, great if you want to have a relaxing beach type holiday, but if you are looking for something a bit more lively then its probably not the best place to visit. We did a couple days in Lisbon before coming here which gave us a nice balance of busy city and quiet coastline.Hospitality-We picked our keys up at reception, there always seemed to be someone at reception from 8am to 6pm, and I think they may have had someone on reception at night but we didn't go out at night so cant confirm. The receptionists were friendly and spoke English, they lent us beach towels and made us feel welcome.Things to do-As well as the nearby beaches and cafes, there was a market (Sintr'Aroma) virtually opposite the apartment that was open from around 9am till 1pm and you could buy fresh vegetables, fruit, and fish.
  : There wasn't much that we weren't happy with. I think a safe in the room would have been useful as it would have given us a place to securely store valuables. The place looked a little run down from the outside, but I could see they had grounds people attending to the place.

  : Location is good. In between of all beautiful spots in the area of Sintra.
  : Poor, very poor experience staying even for one night. Wouldnt recommend especially for families with kids. Bathroom was very small barely fit in one person. Also it was a challenge to balance the hot and cold water. Foam mattresses, the pillows are stuffed with some kinda cotton balls. Literally Everything is very old.

  : The place is very well located, just a few minutes walk from Praia das Maas. It was quiet and calm, and I enjoyed the saltwater swimming pool a lot! The flat was clean and confortable. I Would happily come back :)
