Luz Ocean Club

Apartment was very spacious and clean. Cleaners came in mid week and changed towels and bedding. Everything we needed in the kitchen, would benefit from a bigger frying pan. Lovely view from the balcony. Swimming pool was nice. Luz is a quiet place to stay, lovely beach. Went into Lagos lots. First time in portugal, would definitely come back.

Went to Luz with our friends who'd been many times before. We thoroughly enjoyed it, great beach, excellent eating options (YOLO, Boaty, the Dolphin). Easy to walk round and plenty to do: mountain biking, coastal walking, kayaking, surfing.......

We arrived at the complex to be told that we were not allowed use of the swimming pool. We were told that the owner is in dispute with the management company also the canopy was ripped. (see photo) apartment was old and not clean needed refurbishment badly.

It's hard to blame the staff at the Ocean Club for the fact that the complex is tired and in need of some investment. A decade ago, it was a Mark Warner complex, for the better off. Now, it's a mish-mash of individual owners and it's a lottery to see what you end up with. We arrived at the main entrance and were taken to our room via a rickety old minibus which had plainly seen better days. Our room, with two bedrooms, was a little musty but clean and tidy enough. There were signs of damp at the apartments. The kitchen was excellent with everything you would need, there were books to read and a television with seven channels, all in Portuguese. That's the good news. Here's the rest. The beds were horrendous, absolutely brick hard in one room, springs sticking out in the other. The shower was decent enough but water escaped from the bottom onto the floor and lots of it. One thing that surprised us was how quiet it was. Some days there were maybe a dozen people by the pool, other days less than that. The streets were similarly quiet. We were a matter of yards from THAT apartment and the pool was n full view of it. The tapas bar is now a snack bar of variable quality. It could have been me but the recent past hung very heavy on Luz, particularly the Ocean Club. It is likely that other apartments were better or worse than ours. I can only write about the one we were. We had a good break but it could have been better. We like to meet people, get to know them, even just talk with them. There were no opportunities to do so at the Ocean Club. Nice beach, shame about most other things. Oh, and no wifi in the apartments. In this day and age.

Wonderful relaxing place. Luz is beautiful. The Ocean Club Pool had plenty of sun beds and accommodating staff. Lou on the front desk is really attentive and a great ambassador for the complex. Dee Dee in the pool bar makes the best latte coffees ever! In all, a lovely place to unwind and relax.

Stayed here in a 2 bedroom apartment (was all that was available at the time). Fabulous room located near the rear of the complex. Clean rooms on arrival and fully kitted out with everything that anyone would need. Stereo system for a cosy night in, wardrobe packed with kids toys, inflatables, beach amenities, and board games. Had a lovely balcony that looked over the roofs towards the sea (would've been nicer to be higher) Ample parking space as we had a car for the week. Location - close to all the resort amenities such as bars and restaurants. Lovely little resort, perfect for those needing a break away to relax with minimal things around to get by. Supermarket within 100m Pool area was quiet, clean and the staff were attentive to needs. Would highly recommed

The apartment was the best we have ever stayed in it had everything you could possibly need from ceiling fans to picnic boxes, the complex itself was clean and the staff where friendly, as this is a self catering complex the pools where never very busy, all amenities where with in easy walking distance and the roads around this area where quiet and easy to drive on, I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing and family friendly holiday.

As a family of 4 we stayed in apartment 0409 (2 bedroom 2 bathroom) which was spacious, clean, comfortable and equipped as a home away from home. If you are looking to stay in Luz I would recommend this as a good establishment.

Spacious appartement, clean, great location, quiet, safe, Nice and clean swimmingpool, the best pizza we have ever tasted in the Secret Garden restaurant in the evening, great base for daytrips along the Vicentina Coast, We will definately book in this place the next time we come visit the Algarve.

Stayed at Luz Ocean Club in last week in June, myself and my 19year old daughter. The appt was very clean, had WiFi, Sky channels which we hadn’t expected so a nice bonus. The kitchen was fully fitted and there was everything in the appt that you could have wanted including a hairdryer, but no pool towels. The staff were very helpful, when we found that the oven wasn’t working they let us use an appt next door. We didn’t do much cooking so they we only found out on the last night, the issue was very quickly resolved. The pool area was clean, loads of loungers, the lady called Lou at the garden pool was extremely helpful and helped us as no Thomas Cook rep visited the resort unless an appt was requested. The complex is spread over a wide area, when we checked in, we were driven to our apartment and then also collected. So make sure you are clear where you’re staying before you venture out, as easy to get lost!
