Four Seasons Vilamoura
Quality property with lots of modern facilities in the apartment and contemporary furnishings. Master bedroom was huge and bed was super comfortable. Unfortunately the hot water ran out after 3 showers and there were 5 of us. Another disappointment was that the sauna and steam room were not communal ...
