"There was a problem with rats outsde the property which we reported.The staff were quick to respond and got the necessary posion put down. It put a little damper on the holiday as the ladies would not sit outside

Owner reply:
:
We are obviously concerned that you saw a rat in the resorts communal area. The resort management employ pest control specialists on an ongoing basis, with traps etc in place around the resort. Hopefully this was an isolated incident. We are pleased that the resort management attended to this promptly.

| "The apartment was of a high standard, on the well maintained Alto Golf complex. There is a good sized communal swimming pool as well as tennis courts, a well equipped gym and health club and table tennis all within the complex. The characterful town of Alvor and its beaches are within easy walking distance. We had a very enjoyable family holiday.

| "We loved the Villa it was very clean, smart and tidy. The location was perfect right next to the pool and Cotton Club facility. The mature plants and gardens were wonderful to be around and the dawn chorus of birds each morning made us feel like we had arrived in paradise.
The short 5 minute walk into Alvor town and the 10min walk to the beach was easy to manage with no steep slopes or hills to negotiate. It was a delightful location and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody fortunate enough to want to spend time in Alvor.
Perfect, simply perfect!

Otherwise no complaints very happy with everything else and enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you for allowing us to rent your property and would happily recommend to others and bear you in mind again for the future. Kind Regards Kim."

Thanks for your comments. New patio furniture purchased (July 2009) and two inflatable single beds now also available as alternative to double sofa bed.

| "Just back from Alto Club Apt 43A and we would strongly recommend. This is a lovely apartment and is furnished to a high standard. The owners have carefully chosen the furniture and artwork throughout to make it feel like home from home. Beds are very comfortable and the air-con ensures a good sleep every night. The apartment is close to the pool and is only a short walk from supermarket and Alvor. Slightly longer walk to the beach but worth it as the Alvor beach is lovely. The beach is nicer to the left and there are much more beach bars and restaurants.

"Clean, spacious, conveniently placed for local facilities. Beautiful complex with Cottons restaurant on site which was excellent.
Everything claimed in the advertising was there.
Lighting outside the apartment was not working and on the first night of our stay, I had a bad fall due to a gully being virtually invisible in the glim lighting thrown by lamps thirty metres away. I reported to the on-site office and they contacted the electricity contractors who eventually came round, repairing one light to the side of the property, but did not source the problem at the front in spite of two attempts on two different days.
Not the fault of anyone at Alto Golf & C.C., as they did their best to put urgency into the situation,but workman at the local electricity board took several days for the first visit which was not helped by a National Holiday coming along. The result was still the same - an un-repaired light which provided in my opinion, inadequate and dangerous illumination.
One supposes any Electrical Board in Britain would move at a similar pace with possibly similar lack of success???
"
Owner reply:
:
We are sorry about the delay in repairing the outside light, which is part of the communal area of the resort. As of our last visit there it was working fine again.

"It is a lovely apartment, extremely well located and the owners are very helpful. My only grumble would be that the details said there was a children's play area and there isn't, which I'd viewed as a big plus point when I booked, it also disappointed my little one. The photo you display looks as though the grass area is enclosed and attached to the apartment which is not the case - again, this had been a plus point when I booked. Lastly it could have done with a guest book so you could read about other guests recommendations of where to eat out etc.
Overall though, I'm a fussy traveler and I was extremely happy with the standard of accommodation and the resort. Thank you."
Owner reply:
:
Thanks for your comments. There used to be a childrens play area, but Alto removed it and, as we do not have small children, we were unaware of that. Our website has since been updated.

| "The apartment at Alto Golf was fantastic for family or friends to enjoy a relaxing holiday on the sunny Algarve(Aug 2006). The owners' have equipped the apartment really well, with first class electrical items, e.g. dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer and A /C etc. The apartment is well furnished in the lounge and bedrooms, with two bright bathrooms. There is a good sized patio area, with ample tables / chairs, on which to eat 'al fresco'(especially breakfast), read or completely chill out. Highly recommended apartment and the Alto Golf complex is truly delightful."

"The property is in very good condition and has all of the amenities you would expect at home. It is in a quiet area of the complex but it is still very close to the main reception and the excellent Cottons restaurant. One small criticism is that the beds are very firm but overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we intend to return!"
Owner reply:
:
Thanks for your comments. New mattresses have since been purchased for all beds (April 2009).

We had a lovely holiday, thank you.

We were very impressed with the whole place and will definitely go back again, hopefully next year for longer. The only "not so good" remark we would have to make is about the sofa bed - it was very uncomfortable - and because there was six of us, we had to use it."

"Very complete and spacious apartment, and well equipped. Only remark is that the beds are on the firm side of being hard, even for 'robust' sleepers like ourselves. But that really is the only improvement we would consider."

This was our 5th visit to the area and it would now be difficult to choose anywhere different when we return - which we will!"

We have a young family and the owners went out of their way to enquire about a cot and high chair.
Great location too. Will consider returning, which is a first for us!!!"

Complex good, well managed and family friendly. Long walk to the superior beaches, need car for these, although more windy less attractive is a beach nearby. Cost is slightly high, would rent again sooner if fee was a little lower. Friendly rental family to deal with over the phone and whole apartment had a great personal feel to it."

"The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped but we had some concern that there was no inventory/damage check carried out at the beginning and end of the stay - as you pay a security deposit. Private terrace very overhung by trees so little sun gets through. Recently refurbished to high standard of decoration and equipment. Excellent facilities at Alto Club with friendly, helpful staff, it's a wonderful complex."
Owner reply:
:
A full detailed inventory has now been prepared and is part of the file available to renters in the apartment on arrival. Renters are asked to check the contents against the inventory and advise the owners immediately of any discrepancies. The owners regard the partially shaded patio as a "plus" given the hot weather, particularly in the summer.
