Quinta Pedra Dos Bicos

tres bien

mais il ne manque qu'un lave vaisselle à 7 ce serait bien

Having just returned from from a 10 day holiday Any one booking this place as a family holiday. I really would think twice about it. We needed two rooms that were close together As it was family with 2 children ages 7 and 10, and grand parents. There are 18 blocks in this complex. We were placed in block 1. Nicknamed the prison block. Over the Chinese restaurant. One of the worse experiences of any holiday we have been on. These apartments. Are full of stag and hen. Groups. Or. Gangs of middle age men. Language. And being sick. Not once. Loads of times. Complained every night due to lack of sleep with children. The youngest was a bit frightened due to, the noise. We eventually got moved after day 6. When we say stag groups. It’s groups of any number. Totally took over the pool even the children’s pool. At the main pool It could be a very nice place. If they put the big groups in certain blocks. Another downer. Dealers driving round the complex

Arrived mid morning, check in is 4pm. They store luggage but they take it off you and give you a ticket to collect, so definitely have poolside items ready at hand if you want to enjoy your 1st day on site. Check in was easy and staff very pleasant. Room was ready early at 2pm so that was a bonus until we got to it! It was awful to be honest. I knew the whole place wasn't modernised but I mean this was from the stone age bath looked dirty, toilet seat didn't fit and the lounge area is weird no air con, only on the bedroom whichbJet2 does not stipulate. Grounds OK, but someone vomited outside my block and ot was just left for the remainder of my stay. Was also work going on, on the neighbouring block for the entire week which was very noisy starting at 8am. I thought the pool area was lovely and quiet, until Thursday arrived along with hundreds of groups of males. Who of course couldn't check in so made full use of the pool bar which btw is extortionate 11 euros for 2 small beers in plastic cups. The security man is ride I know what orecious reviews mean. He pretends he is monitoring the pool, but he really isn't and one male in one of thee groups dived I to the shallow end of the pool, I could see it happening and was almost sick when it did, luckily he just had a rather large bump but it could have been so much worse and there were a few other near misses. I could barely relax for fear of someone really injuring themselves. I know it might seem common sense but there is no signs warning no diving until a certain point and since they're selling copious amounts of alcohol to large groups all too ready to show off it is a serious accident waiting to happen. Location is OK if you want the strip which is about a 10 min walk away there isn't really anything much else next to the hotel unless yiu want burgers, pizzas and English vibes. Old town is a 50 minute walk and under 5 euros in a taxi (recommend taxis, the walk is a bit of a killer). For a lads or lasses cheap weekend away this place is probably fine, but I don't think I'd return. Oh also our block the maids were not turning up until 4pm a time I think is a bit rubbish as it's generally when people are in their room taking a nap or getting ready for the evening. Expect noise through the night on a weekend too. Especially of you end up with a full hen party occupying the other rooms on your block.

Only Disappointment on the Holiday was we didn’t get checked in until 15:45 on the day we arrived. We booked the 2 Bedroom Apartment and there was enough space for the 4 of us. Spotlessly clean and plenty of bedding changes and towel changes during the 7 Night stay. Bits of ambient noise during the evening into the early hours but nothing that was excessive. Close to the strip but also close to Aldi. Turn right out of the hotel for a quieter life and Turn left for the noisy strip. Beaches close by and plenty of bars and restaurants to eat.

The apartment rooms were clean and comfortable, and we were impressed with how nice they were.

Short walk to the strip, but the rooms were a very high standard

The relaxed atmosphere, great food and drink and good location

The only negative unfortunately was the sometimes aggressive attitude of the pool Security and ni life guard
