Pontalaia Apartamentos Turísticos

2023 Jan-March We stayed over a month and got a good winter long stay price. Pleasant quiet surroundings, no traffic noise. Close to good walking paths on the wild ponta/cape. Spar Mini Market and many restaurants close by. Unfortunately many are closed low season. Supermarket and local farmers' market (closes 1 pm) 1-1,5 km away. From 1st floor, block B we had sea view from both sides: the balcony (Atlantic horizon) and the kitchen window/front door (over Baleeira port & islands). Kitchen well equipped, including stick mixer, capsule coffee machine, toaster, kettle and micro. Electric stove with oven. I missed scissors and box grater, bought them in the supermarket. I brought my own cheese slicer and favourite potato peeler from home, Scandinavian extras that don't exist in South Europe. Missing also a spatula for frying pan and a whisk/beater. Two frying pans in stainless steel made everything stick = negative. Heating wintertime was excellent, a quiet central AC with 2 outlets and easy control panel. Bathroom was cool, it was OK, but had an extra blow heater you could start before shower, which was pleasant. WiFi excellent in the apartment. Enough wardrobes and drawers for 2 people. Beds comfortable, but the pillows were too big and firm, one of us used a sofa cushion instead, that was OK. Extra plus for the sauna, it was Scandinavian style, very good. Cost €5/hour. But there was a problem, the fire alarm got activated too easily. Advice: Keep the entrance door and the middle glass door fully open, and don't keep the sauna door open more than one sec, so alarm will not start. Negative: No sitting space outside the sauna, nowhere to sit to cool down and chill. The gym is free, has 4 machines (row, bike, treadmill and cross trainer). Staff could not instruct a beginner, they didn't know how they are used. We were lucky to meet another guest, who was a good instructor. Bench press and weights ok. The pilates ball was 10% flat. All in all, we were very happy with the stay. Staff were of different types. Some smiling, friendly and talkative, some strict and "business only". A tame and friendly cat lady, Shakira, was often seen around the reception.

We stayed here for 4 nights in early October. The apartment was very clean, spacious and well equipped with everything you could need to self cater. It had a nice pool area with plenty of sun beds. It is located a short walk from the Sagres town which has plenty of places to eat. Would definitely stay her again if we return to the area.

Apartamentos muito limpos com áreas adjacentes também bem cuidadas e limpas. O apartamento era excepcionalmente bem iluminado. Almofadas óptimas! Varanda super limpa! Internet funciona sem qq problema. Localização óptima. Faltam chapéus sol na piscina. Embora os colchões sejam bons, o soumier/cama range bastante ao mais pequeno movimento. Havia um problema na porta do frigorifico (não fechava) por falta de regulação do mesmo. A casa banho é um pouco datada. Regressarei, sem duvida!

Excelente qualidade/ serviço e pessoas muito simpáticas. Uma cama espetacular e almofadas fofas 😌 E fomos recebidos com cabaz de boas vindas que incluía fruta leite sumo e pãozinhos. A cozinha bem equipada.
