Apartamento W Marina by Sunnyway

Location on the Marina was excellent. Loads of bars and restaurants on your doorstep. Lively but quiet at the same time. The corner apartment was great for pool access or a quiet sit in the sun away from the pool.

Door locks need to be improved or modernised. Showers are small. More sunbeds around the pool are needed.

The apartment was in an excellent position and was extremely well equipped.

The outside pool was not very clean.

The property was fantastic with good sized bedrooms and bathrooms and a large living area. The kitchen is a fair size and has a washing machine and dishwasher which is available to use. The location is great with a supermarkets, shops, restaurants and bars all within a minute of the front gate. Although you are located right on the marina the noise from the bars and restaurants is not an issue at all, it’s not at all noticeable. The staff were incredible and could not have been more helpful. They accommodated an earlier check in and later check out to meet our travel time needs (a few hours outside of the normal times). Bath and pool towels being included was an added bonus and we also had fresh ones delivered to us midway through out 1 week stay. The grounds around the apartment as well as the apartment block are very well kept and clean. Being on the ground floor and having direct access to the pool area without having to go up and down and steps was lovely. Although you step out onto a “shared area” there is a small seating area which very much feels like your own space which no one else comes into as it is separate from the pool area. This was also a great area to be able to put the washing out to dry. There is also the added touch of a separate, private balcony. The beds are all very comfortable and having 3 bathrooms makes it great for a family stay. The bathrooms all had a few toiletries, a first aid pack and a hair dryer supplied. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in the area and we will definitely be revisiting.

There are 2 small things that I would change. One of the bedrooms does not have any drawers or wardrobes. Although there is ample space to share the wardrobes in the other bedrooms it would be nice to add even just a hanging rail in the 3rd bedroom. The only other thing is the amount of sun beds available round the pool was not enough. The first few days of our stay it was fine as no one else was really there but the second half of the week the lack of beds was very noticeable - there were only around 12 beds out for all apartments to share.

I expected a much luxurious apartment for the price especially coming from a beautiful one in Porto. The bathrooms are small and the shower space are unacceptably tight. If you drop the soap, you have to get out of the shower to pick it up. Also, there was nothing in each shower to hold soap, shampoos ect ect.The drainage was so bad that the water over flows out of the shower during showers. That happened in all 3 showers in the apartment. The apartment is clean but kitchen equipments are old. Location is good with plenty of restaurants and shops around. The area does feel safe.
