Accessibility
Ideal for those who don't want to climb stairs at the end of a long, lovely day at the beach, please note that the apartment has a small staircase (5-6 steps) from lounge to bathroom/bedroom. The car park and bus stop are a very short walk from the apartment. The resort seems to have already addressed a number of accessibility issues, although, for example, accessing the larger of the two pools at the Praca would currently be difficult for those who cannot climb stairs.
Outside
Two loungers, chairs, table, BBQ set out on low-walled, gated terrace which overlooks well tended gardens and trees.
Guests benefit from absolutely free use of the Vale do Lobo Tennis Academy's pool.
Coast/Beach
The beach is a short (10 minutes) walk away or a quick trip in the car. Golden sands, sunbeds, parasols, the usual beach activities (including a banana boat) and beach bars await. Very long swathe of sandy coastline, ideal for walking and/or jogging and great for children's sandcastles, paddling and sea shell collecting.
Golf
Host to many golf tournaments, Vale do Lobo has two excellent courses; The Royal and The Ocean. The apartment sits across the road from just one of the many manicured greens that run through the heart of the resort and is a short distance from the Parque do Golfe and its resident golf pros. People often talk about the 16th of the Royal, but the 14th of the Ocean is just as impressive!
Travel
Faro Airport is just 20 minutes drive from Vale do Lobo. Taxi transfers can be arranged although you can easily hire a car from either the airport or from Vale do Lobo reception.
Distances
Faro town is a 20-25 minutes drive, Almancil, with its many traditional restaurants and bars is nearby, Quinta do Lago, with its designer stores and upmarket restaurants is a mere 5 minutes drive away. Vilamoura and the fun of the Aquapark are short car/taxi journeys. 40/50 minutes in the car and you'll be in Spain. En route, you could stop off at Tavira, another popular Portuguese holiday destination. Children would love a day trip to Zoomarine, half an hour away, en route to Albufeira.
