- "We stayed in a bungalow at this campsite and it was great! It was quite hot during the day without aircon or a fan, but thankfully it cooled down quite a lot in the evenings so having a window open was fine. Seems like the bungalows have 2 sun loungers on each shaded balcony so having an afternoon snooze was also possible. There was a shop onsite which is very convenient. There is a bus stop outside going to/from the beach and Lagos, or you can walk to the Luz beach in about 20-30 minutes. It was a great experience and would return again!"

- "First time travelers to this area. Nice to see a different topography of Portugal. Stayed in a Cork Shelter. Comfortable space. Hot water ran out but the shower flow can be reduced to lower flow which helped. The pool was lovely to linger by in the heat. Was fun to meet the resident pigs, roosters, hens, and goats! Dinner was yummy and breakfast buffet an awesome way to start the day. Spent a few hours at teh river beach close by as well as explored Belver. A nice quiet couple days after a busy few days in Tavira/Peniche/Nazaré/Lisbon."

- "Next Top the street and a factory that starts with work early in the morning." - "Polite and helpful ataff, bungalow however was extremely dusty, glass/windows extremely dirty, hard to see out. Overall not too bad. " - "Pros: GREAT location with beautiful views right across the street from the ocean. Staff is very friendly. Loads of amenities (though you have to pay extra). Cons: Bungalows have ZERO light in the kitchen and minimal lighting in the room. We had to use our headlamp to cook. There is no way to have air circulation in the room if you don’t have the main sliding doors open while you sleep. Only one small bathroom window that cracks a few inches. You will either be hot with no air flow or leave the door open (we felt safe) and get bit up by mosquitoes as there’s no screen. A few tweaks and this place could be a gem. "
