The attitude of the company afterwards was that everything must have been OK if we did not contact them at the time. When booking apartments generally, you should ask up front what the procedures are if anything goes wrong. Pictures are sometimes misleading as well, and I would advise you to have a good look at the place before parting with your cash.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20633 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20165 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20165 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18168 Close to Oriente Metro/station and Parque dos Nacoes.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18168 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18092 Stunning, stylish.

They also make it so easy for someone to go on their own down the coast. It's really a joy when you can roll through the countryside with just a map and bike knowing your hotel and restaurant staff are literally waiting for you! Bluecoastbikes' staff also took care of our dinner and hotel reservations too.

Their staff took care of everything for us, even calling midweek to see how we were enjoying everything!

Bluecoastbikes is the way to go for biking in Portugal if you want to enjoy your trip and worry about nothing but the ride and the wines to choose!

They are licensed and insured. They have daily rentals and dropoffs, week-long guided and self-guided tours, and jeep rides/tours as well.

Highly recommended.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13688 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11640
The standard room we stayed in was laid out like a mini-apartment: an entrance hall with mini-bar and tea/coffee facilities; bathroom and bedroom both off this little hall. The bathroom was well kitted out and there were slippers and robes for both of us. The bed was huge! We have a super-kingsize bed at home and this bed dwarfed it.

The hotel facilities are great and the service is impeccable. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We had booked a room-only rate but upon arrival were told that breakfast was included. There is a free port table where you can sample port and the cherry liqueur, ginghina, and there are a number of board games available for you to play in the lounge area.

We felt instantly at home here and I would recommend this hotel to anyone.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11640 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6908 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6908 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6847 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6847 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6839 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6839 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6835 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6835
