Gorteen - City center with pool by HD PROPERTIES

Homely feeling, close to the Marina, comfortable apartment and modern

Not the apartments fault but the bathroom facilities at the pool were disgusting

A localização

Não estava muito limpo e não tinha máquina de lavar loiça

Localização

Falta das chaves do portão junto à piscina que dá acesso direto à Marina. Falta de canais portugueses na televisão: RTP1 e 2; SIC; TVI; SIC Noticias; CNN Portugal; RTP3

Modern property in a fantastic location. Only around a 5 minute walk to shops / marina etc - best to use “clube forum” for uber etc pick up as the address doesn’t come up that’s listed. Large pool which has a restaurant / bar serving food and drinks and a nice little outside private terrace with beds for the apartment (although no bed cushions). There was a tv with Netflix, Disney+ etc for entertainment on nights in. Good fridge, freezer and washing machine and plenty dishes, glasses etc. Staff were helpful when we needed help, arranged for maintenance to come address an issue we had with mould in the bedroom. Good storage in the bedrooms for clothes. Paid a very good price for the property - I would stay again and recommend to others

The property could do with a little freshen up with paint - there were a few marks and looked a bit tired. The WiFi is awful it barely works at all. Shower was great although it seemed to leak everywhere and the drain made a very loud noise. We also had a serious issues with upstairs neighbours creating noise, can’t be helped as they don’t manage this apartment although the ceiling must have been paper thin. There were only 7 sunbeds around the pool - for a complex of this size it’s not enough. Neither of the lamps in the bedrooms worked either. Also an issue with birds / seagulls nesting nearby and swooping down.

Location Cheap

No dishwasher Cot provided was broken and was not in the apartment on arriving - which was late Shower leaked Washing machine cupboard was smelly Sofa has a lot or wear and tear Bed needed more lining as it was cold at night Aircon in main bedroom needed new battery’s and one bin bag was not enough.

2 minutes from the marina from the back gate

No sun loungers around the pool

The location is amazing. You can get to some really good local restaurants through the back entrance and just beyond that is the marina. A little further down the road and then you are at a number of different beaches too. There are some good local supermarkets & shops nearby. The pool is pretty good - if a little tired but it wasn't overly busy. I don't think this is the apartments area but the deck of the pool is not cleaned everyday - we saw it cleaned once in 10 days. The space in the apartment is good and the bedrooms spacious. The living area is good and the external area is a nice to have too. You can relax in there in a little bit of privacy, however, some cushions on the loungers would have been welcomed. The facilities are good too. Decent fridge freezer, air conditioning, washing machine etc. One massive plus was Bruno (staff) - any issues he was at the end of the phone and helped us out on more than one occasion - a massive positive for the HD properties!

Due to an illness with our daughter we had to spend pretty much 48hrs in the apartment - so we got to see a lot more of the apartment then most people would if they were just diving into to sleep / change & go out etc. The apartment could do with a little tidying up / redecoration. The master bedroom had stains on the walls and ceiling as it looked like someone had opened a drink in there and it had sprayed over the surfaces. Also there was signs of damp where previous occupiers may have left the air con on and it is creating some damp issues on the ceiling. The shower was great - but the cubicles leaked excessively. We kept the mop in the bathroom all holidays and the shower mat towel was constantly outside drying or on the floor mopping up the leaks. The bathroom had signs of mould in the grouting which could be rectified. We were there for 10 days - so we could have used a few more towels also. One big downside was the condition of the settee. Unfortunately a light colour cloth finish which people have used quite heavily has been used - has left it with quite a few stains. The sink was also quite heavily stained. The hob wasn't working at all - but this was rectified by the HD properties staff. And we only had one tea towel for the entire 10 days. If you want to use the living area for sleeping - there were no curtains hung. These were bundled into a cupboard. The wi-fi in the complex is very poor - we ended up running the tv by tethering our phones to use our own roaming data.
