The pool area is nice and it has a nice ambience. The staff by the pool area are friendly and the breakfast staff are great. The location is quite a bit out of town, but a good compromise to have a pool, lots of space, and closer access to beaches. Large underground parking but be warned it’s tight to move around if you have a big car. They offer charging capability for e-cars and also car rentals. The breakfast has a good option, but little variety across the week. The views across the bay and out to sea with sunset and sunrises available are incredible.

On arrival I met the team at the front desk who were incredibly miserable. One member of staff was exceptionally unhelpful spending 5 minutes typing and then answering her phone before acknowledging I was there, then making tuts when I asked a question. A bad first experience at the property. We had to wait after check-in time for the room to be ready, despite calling ahead and asking as we have a young child that needed to nap. Generally the staff across the week were really nice and helpful - just the reception staff were not. The furniture in the apartment is tired. Very old sofa’s and limited and old outside furniture - two chairs and one sun bed for a 4 bed apartment.

24 hour check in, on site parking, the location was incredible, the view spectacular, the rooms lovely, included breakfast was bountiful and so yummy with a view of the pool. Staff were so so lovely. There isn’t much to fault. Highly HIGHLY recommend it.

This was hard to pick at but maybe better pillows (some weren’t comfortable) and we had some noisy kids next door that were playing around and being loud into the early hours of the morning (but it really wasn’t problematic enough to call front desk). That’s it, I really don’t have any meaningful complaints.

Overall a great experience. Recommended to my friends. Your staff truly gives superior customer service. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well stocked.. The hot breakfast is excellent with so many choices and very tasty especially the added hot vegetables. The restaurant also had delicious food. And the pool area is lovely and photo worthy.

The breakfast is very expensive. I ate yogurt with fruit, eggs and vegetables with coffee and a nata. Surely did not eat 17- 19 € worth. My family opted to order from Ubereats. My other disappointment was the music at the pool Friday and Saturday afternoon (around 4:00pm) was very loud and not relaxing for me and our little ones.

Everything. Honestly! It’s our second time staying here at if anything, we loved it more the second time round. The view was exceptional, absolutely stunning! The apartment was clean, comfortable and relaxing. We were able to get a later checkout without issue and the staff were awesome. We loved the breakfast service (so so good, though if I had to pick at anything, I wish the coffee was better-but that’s me being a huge coffee person) and the restaurant was fantastic food and really good value (it actually somewhere to come and eat even if you aren’t staying at the hotel, it’s so worth it.

I would have loved better coffee (the coffee machine isn’t quite to the standards of everything else about this awesome property.

Spacious, clean , well maintained hotel. Restaurant was very good and reasonably priced.

- Didn’t like being on 5th floor. Large balcony but north/north east facing and too windy to sit out - extraction fan above oven is centrally controlled and comes on automatically from 12-2pm and again from about 6-9.30pm. The noise of the fan is so loud and unbearable that it is impossible to sit in the kitchen/sitting area. We had to stay in the bedroom to get away from the noise. When I reported the issue to the hotel staff they were very blasé about it. Finally got maintenance to block the fan. - reception staff could be friendlier and more helpful. However, the restaurant staff were extremely friendly and professional. - hotel is situated on a hill in the sticks . You need a car to get about. Even walking down to the sea is a trek.

Sat Nav took us direct to the hotel. Greeted by great professional team, signed the pet policy for our small dog ( dogs restricted to large garden areas, on his leash - lots of areas inside and outside of hotel grounds) and given a doggy welcome gift. Our room on the 1st floor was fabulous, large comfy bed and pillows and very quiet. Great Wifi, A/C, lots of TV channels, spacious bathroom, shower over the bath, basic wall mounted hairdryer, Rituals shower gel, hand wash and shampoo. Terrace with patio furniture and great views of Lisbon, kitchenette with kettle, toaster, microwave, large fridge/freezer, oven, hob and washer/ dryer. Coffee machine - pods cost €1 each, from reception. Apparently we should have had two free in the room but Reception Team apologised and gave us 2 free. Only 2 very small espresso sized cups ( typical Portuguese) basic cutlery, plates, glasses and utensils. Washing-up liq, 1 tea- cloth (no cloths, scourers kitchen roll), small chopping board. Pool area fabulous, pool towels available, ample sun beds both on patio and on grass areas, some loungers on shaded grassed area where dogs allowed on leash. Swim up pool bar, prices typical hotel prices (€5 lge beer, cocktails €9). We didn’t eat in restaurant but menu was good, reasonably priced, and busy. We were given 20% discount card for restaurant. Lots of free parking around reception area as well as 2 underground parking floors with lift access to room floor. Souvenir shop, hire car and children’s room in foyer. Entertainment Thursday eve ( band) DJ Fri n Sat during holiday season. 7 min walk into immediate local town - very sleepy and laid back. A few coffee shops and supermarket open but lots of shops closed from early Aug to Early Sept for holidays. Great dog walks/ cycle paths opposite hotel. This was a fabulous 2 night stay and would have stayed longer if we were not on a planned road trip.

We have been staying at MS Aparthotel for Nos Alive festival for 4 years and we find it perfect for the location and best pool to relax all day.

I have to add that over the past 4 years I find that during this weekend the quality of the breakfast has got increasingly poor, which I must say is not right. We were even told by the staff that they do not supply certain products over this weekend. We paid the same price as other weekends so I do not understand why you reduce the quality ?

The room was clean and easily accessible

It was cold .. we needed to contact the front desk to have heat turned on the day after we checked in… problem with heating system…..main concern was the necessity to purchase a full breakfast meal 17 euros when all one guest wanted was coffee and perhaps a piece of toast..while the other wanted full breakfast willing to pay 17 Euros …..one particular rude staff member think May have been manager..coffee service should be provided ..we were given 2 coffee pods on check in and purchased 6 at 1 euro each with no sugar we asked the restaurant for 4= sugar packets and were told there is a store down the street, perhaps a seminar in public relations …would we return , probably not because of the distance to downtown activities… cab fares add up.

Old but very lovely amenities, spacious apartments, not very well equipped thou. Good size gym and very nice pool area.

Staff seems like they don't like their job, and always seems like to busy to help. So I didnt borther to ask them for anything. On the upside, they dont even pretend to care if your stay was good or not, since they didnt even look up when I gave my keycard, so no need to be awkward.

1. Big swimming pool, summer should be really impressed 2. Spacious balcony with good view 3. Equipment in the room including kitchen and clothes washing machine 4. Good breakfast

1 we arrived at 14:00, then we have been told the room is not ready We went out and come back at 15:20, the room was still not ready, we have to waited until 16:00 (when their announced check in time is), not good experience. 2. The equipment in the room is little outdated. 3. Far from public transportation
