The ocean club consists of 3 areas , waterside village, waterside gardens and the ocean club (that's how I understood it anyway). Fantastic place.....
The transfer time from the Faro Airport was a little over 1.5 hrs (not a lot of drop offs on out Thomson coach). Reception was great and always helpful. The apartment (2 bedrooms) was split level and very nice (cooker, microwave, washing machine, etc) apart from a damp smell from one bedroom and the bathroom. The cleaner tried what they could to solve it but made little difference.
There were 3 supermarkets on site, one large and 2 small. There was a cash machine in the larger supermarket and another located not far from the post office (all on the ocean club complex).
There are two family swimming pools and one adult only pool (never went). The pools are not heated and do become quite cold after a while, but things may warm up later in the year.
The beach is lovely and not very far away. Very sandy, which gets hot after midday - so be warned! Sea is clear and cool.
We went to the complex BBQ one evening and had a great time (especially my wife who got up and danced with the local dancers)...
There are some great places to eat. Omarujo was my wifes favourite. Chaplins was good and let you change things around on the menu to suit you. There was also a place on the beach as well that has swings and slides for kids to play on while you wait for your food. The ocean club rest. was also very good and quite reasonably priced... There was even an Indian Take-Away on the complex for those feeling home sick..
We only had 7 nights there as this was the first time abroad with our daughter. No doubt that we will return and this time for at least 14 days (and probably with the same tour operator - Thomson - who provided a wonderful kids club courtesy of CLaire and Michelle).
All in all we had a great time.
