Reviews Apartment Golden Beach ***

We had a great holiday at the Golden Beach (17 days). The atmosphere at this residence is relaxed. In fact, the entire area breathes an air of relaxation. It's not mundane anywhere; it's relaxed though and cosy and there's plenty to do: beach, shops, nightlife, restaurants (also on the beach!) and a nice city nearby. Price level is a bit lower than in the Netherlands. In P. da Oura there are 2 centres. One on the strip with many eating houses, it's nice to enjoy some fish here, and a centre at the busy road with restaurants to have an luxury dinner. Excellent supermarket is Pingo Doce. Modelo is even better, opposite McDonalds, you can also have lunch here. If you buy a cheap pan you could prepare something simple in the apartment. Only minus was the cold that set in once the sun had set, horrible. But after 4 days (half April) it got warmer and the cold faded, the weather was lovely!

very good location with a view of the sea, apartment has become a bit outdated.

We had a nice holiday.

We also have to sing the praises of Golden Beach. spacious clean apartments with an enormously big balcony. It is a bit obsolete, but that is not annoying. The beds are good. The cleaning is good and the cleaning ladies are very pleasant. Luis at the reception is fantastic and very pleasant, he even speaks a little Dutch and even welcomes you in your own regional dialect (in our from the town of Groningen in the Netherlands). The condo is near the sea and the strip is around the corner, however, it is quite a steep climb up.

next to Golden Beach (towards the sea) is a small supermarket, bakery, outdoor cafes and souvenirs shops. Tip: also have an evening meal once at the restaurant at the end of the road, turn to the left, at the sea (almost nobody goes there, everyone takes a right). The food is surprisingly nice and cheap there. And during the day the toasted ham and cheese sandwiches and bread rolls are of course also very nice to eat on their patio.

If you want do some really serious shopping: 'Algarve Shopping' at Faro is enormous (go by taxi).

Unfortunately, the inventory to cook with is a bit sparse, and the bathroom is a bit small, apart from that it was great with a sea view and near the beach.

An ordinary place. Lots of Dutch people around. A magnificient location. Unkind personnel.

Shame we had a terrace instead of a balcony. No view. I loved the other balconies with a lovely view of the sea and some flowers.

Great service. A great location. We would go back in a second.

Nice and big apartment, neat, clean and a bit old-fashioned (but that didn't matter to us, it made it extra cosy!). A nice seaview, close to the busyness and yet still a quiet complex. The pool wasn't very big, but big enough for our kids. Portugal was a nice country, you really needed to rend a car here. Golden beach was great!

The apartments were very old and very sober. Not suitable for families with children, because of the noise!!! There was a club across the street. The service from Louis was SUPER! He showed us the beautiful Algarve and certainly not Praia da Oura. The pool was far too small! The cleaning personnel was very friendly and they cleaned the place very well.

A bit old-fashioned complex, but that's the only bad thing. Lovely location and big enough. It could get a little noisy (from the street), but you knew that this could happen when you booked.
