Alvor Marachique Duplex

The view and facilities,

Works going on in apartment, 8am there was a hammer drill echoing the place. This was in October so maybe it’s the time to refurbish facilities.

We were informed 2 days before arrival that there would be building works but these were very intrusive. They were converting the apartment next door and the drilling and banging started at 9 am and continued all day until 5pm . We couldnt stay in the apartment during this time, nor could we sit on the balcony. Going to the pool wasnt an option as it was very noisy there too and everyone was giving out there too.. We had to check out after 2 nights. We were disgusted to be charged for both these nights as we had to spend time researching an alternative and had one day homeless while awaiting a check in. We had shopped on arrival and lost frozen foods during at day.

Lovely apartment bit dated in places could do with a new bath 🛁 ..the apartment above us was having major refurbishment done and the noise was unbearable..good job it was nice weather and didn't spend much time in the apartment through the day ..but overall it was good

Noise of building work above our apartment..horrendous

Nothing

Everything

Had to insist on someone meeting us there as it was dark and we were unfamiliar with the property, but the rental agent did arrive to check us in with the keys after telling us to collect them from a drop box in a text.

The apartment was a duplex which we knew about when booking but didn't figure it would be so unsuitable to access the first floor, using a stone spiral staircase with no handrail. Suitable for younger people but not suitable for older people like me with mobility issues. Booking.com need to advise this in the property description! No Handrail up the steps to the building entrance either. Also, there was an ant infestation at the TV stand surface which needed daily sanitisation.

Stunning duplex and grounds

Walk to empty bins

Great Guest great location very clean easy to deal with

Nothing

lovely well equipped apartment with a good view over the pool and gardens. Easy private parking just Infront of the apartment. Good supermarket very close by.

It's a private apartment without a reception. You need to phone and somebody comes to meet you. it worked OK but is always worrying, make sure you read all your documents and check on booking.com the day before arrival.
