Travelling party: Single

Obwohl ich bei der Anmeldung 1-2 Tage vereinbart habe, wurde der ganze Anmeldeprozess immer in die Richtung, “wenn sie einen Monat bleiben, gelenkt”. Ich habe mich sehr bedrängt gefühlt. Wohnmobil Standplatz frei wählbar. Platz gibt es genug. Leider zu wenig Stromanschlüsse. Ich hatte einen Platz, dem Engländer nebenan gefiel meine Auswahl gar nicht. Der hat so lange terror gemacht, bis ich am nächsten Tag gegangen bin. Das Teritorial.-/Kolonialverhalten dieses Nachbarn wurde von den Betreibern noch unterstützt. Mitgeteilt, das ich mein Wohmi auf die andere Seite stellen soll, hat mir ein Arbeiter dort und nicht die Rezeption. Was ich interessant fand, dass der Arbeiter auf keinen Fall wollte, dass ich das Problem mit der Rezeption direkt bespreche. Es hinterlässt bei mir den Anschein als haben der Engländer und der Arbeiter einen Deal zusammen vereinbart um mich loszuwerden.
Liegestühle am Pool sind alt, schmutzig und durchgelegen. Essen an der Bar war das Geld nicht wert. Stellplatzsuche, Stromverteilersuche alles wird auf dem Rücken des zahlenden Gastes abgeschoben. Keine Parzellierung und stellst dein Mobil nach einer Stunde suche ab, passiert dir das was ich im ersten Teil geschrieben habe.
Die Gäste auf dem Platz urteilen nicht sehr nett über die Angestellten ( unfreundlich) nicht kritikfähig, sie haben für alles eine Ausrede! Nicht zu empfehlen, dieser Platz.

Travelling party: Seniors

Insgesamt sauber, momentan mit einigen Bauarbeiten. Zu Fuß ist der Strand von Alvor und die kleinen Kneipen gut zu erreichen. Der sich auf dem Platz befindliche Mini Supermarkt funktioniert nicht. Zum Glück Fußläufig in 5 Minuten ein gut sortierten Supermarkt

Travelling party: Couple

Das Schwimmbad haben wir nicht benutzt. Sieht aber gut und gepflegt aus. Stellplätze waren weit davon entfernt. Keine Parzellen, was wir seht schätzen. Man muss sich eben arrangieren. Am Wochende über Fronleichnam war es recht voll. Leider wurden die Sanitärs sogar eher seltener gereinigt und Toilette papier wurde zur Mangelware. Kann blöd werden. Dafür trotzdem ein schöner Platz, nicht so viel geregelt, eher Laissez faire. Wir waren etwa 10 Tage in dieser Algarvegegend. Man kann wirklich viel unternehmen. Sehr abwechslungsreich. Flussstrand, Meeresgrund, Monchique-Gebirge. Herrliche Orangen am Straßenrand. In Portimao tolle Markthalle mit allen Sorten frischen Fischs, Obst und Gemüse..
