Marriott Residences Salgados Resort, Algarve

Marriott Residences Salgados Resort, Algarve

8/10 Good
"Another wonderful stay here at the Marriott Residences. A few small issues like our rooms were not cleaned until very late in the afternoon for some reason, and we had to keep asking for water and face cloths as these items were not replenished each day. We also had a small issue with the power cutting out whilst using the oven in the apartment, we had to wait over an hour before someone came to check for us, by that time we had managed to locate the fuse box and sort ourselves. We were also advised at checking that we could use the facilities at the neighbouring Westin resort. However upon arriving at their reception, we were told this was not the case and that they could not allow it. This is our second stay here and we will definitely be back, it is like a home from home for the family and we feel comfortable here. The staff are great overall."

"This is a lovely little complex tucked away in a quiet location. Ideal if you have a car. It’s well maintained. spotlessly clean and the staff are so friendly and polite. Our apartment had a spacious corner balcony. The only negative in our opinion was that the apartment was tired and the sofa bed mattress was very thin. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the beach, There’s a supermarket just down the road. The pool area is nice and relaxing. Breakfast was good."

"Easy to find, clean and in a quiet area close to town shopping center. Laundry room tucked away by the pool area. Grill area if you preferred. Window and patio safety shutters that open and can be pinned back to let in light and bring the outside in. Gets direct sunlight by the pool for sun worshipers. Driving distance to beaches of choice. The marina was 10 minutes away where we sailed by the caves and on the shoreline and were fortunate to see dolphins playing in the waves. Brilliant tour but remember to take motion sickness tablets if you suffer or are not sure if you suffer from this. Food was everywhere. All known fast food restaurants and local cuisine or you had the option to cook your own meals with local supermarkets nearby. As a non native speaker I found the people welcoming and helpful. Most could understand a little English, with google translate to do the rest."
