Baia da Luz Resort

We loved everything about this property from the location to the facilities, to the apartment itself. We didn’t want to leave. The pictures online don’t do it justice. It’s better in reality. The apartment is huge - large living room, balconies in almost every room, big kitchen with full size fridge and dishwasher and, best of all, an entire master suite upstairs that was totally unexpected. The listing says two-bedroom. It’s actually three, including with three bathrooms. A pool (actually three pools), a bar and a restaurant are all on site, and the beach and beach bars and restaurants are about a 7-minute walk away. There were five people in our group. The apartment is more than spacious enough. Perfect AC, blackout blinds, etc. etc. I could go on. Wait, did I mention the indoor garage parking available in the building… and beach/pool towels for every guest?

We stayed here in with a 1.5yo toddler and my mother and we had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 120m2 of space with 2 balconies on both sides, on the quiet and busier sides. There’s ample street parking, but also saw garage on the premises, just didn’t ask about it, it wasn’t very busy when we stayed in June. The pool was 2min walk, heated, with an area for small kids and a playground. The restaurant on the premises is reasonably priced and the food is good for a dinner/lunch or take away. We did a few more takeaways as the apartment has a fridge where we had drinks and ice cream, so we didn’t want to spend extra money at the restaurant. We had a car hire, which is best because we could go around to Lagos, Cape st Vincent and drive to Lidl to get supplies. The apartment had complimentary: 2 bottles of water, 2 packs of milk, 8 nespresso cups (we got more at reception 6€ for 10 pieces), a few teabags and sugar, but if you’re planning to cook, you’d need to get you own salt/oil and all the ingredients. There was plenty of cookware, big fridge and freezer, utensils. The 2 dishwasher and 2 washing machine pods get replenished on cleaning days, so every 3 days. Sheets were changed after 6 days. Great location, quiet resort spread over several streets. Praia da Luz is 5min walk, there are also more cafes/restaurants and a small market. 10min drive to Lagos for Lidl, other bigger shops, restaurants (far better priced), boat tours and just more city life vibes. At the check in they ask for 250€ deposit, which then gets reimbursed if there are no damages. There are also green beach towels in the room already, included. The bathrooms has Rituals shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap, a hairdryer and well-equipped first aid kit. The living room, dining room and terrace were all fantastic, we enjoyed our stay. The AC units in the living room and bedrooms saved us on hot days, everything worked properly.

The resort was immaculate. Our apartment was huge and immaculately maintained with regular cleaning and very well equipped.and serviced. We have beautiful views and everyone had their own space. There were three bathrooms in our apartment, with two ensuite bedrooms. The kitchen was fantastic and the beds were so comfortable. I really cannot find fault. The restaurant on site was lovely, very popular so booking is advised. We had our favourite meals here. The pool.bar is great during the day and the pools were lovely. Our kids had a great time playing tennis and pool. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. The location was a short walk the beach and restaurants and Lagos and all it has to offer was a short taxi ride way. We had a wonderful holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Baia da Luz.

We had a wonderful stay. The flat was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed. Comfy sofas, a great TV, a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, and excellent air conditioning in both the bedroom and living room. The location was ideal, just a two-minute walk to the beach with lovely restaurants nearby. Even though the flat faced the street, it was very quiet and well soundproofed. We spent every day at the beach and also enjoyed the pool and tennis court. The reception staff were fantastic. Always friendly and helpful. On my birthday, they even walked up to our flat to deliver a lovely gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. From check-in to check-out, they made everything easy and welcoming. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

We had a short but lovely stay. The reception team were so welcoming and charming, plus the apartment was immaculate, spacious and comfortable. On a practical note, the apartment was really well equipped in the kitchen and living areas, with a lovely big balcony and for those that want/need it, strong and consistent wifi in all areas. During our visit in March, the complex was quiet, so a really relaxing break. No doubt livelier during peak season but quiet was our plan, so a big win! Restaurant and bar onsite, 3 pools, plenty of parking etc. Decent local supermarkets in easy walking distance, plus beach and restaurants. Major supermarkets and everything else you could want in short driving distance.
