Having owned a place at CPO, 1983 to 2001 we were keen to return and see what changes have occurred from the change from timeshare to holiday complex.
Pleased to say not alot, its still an absolutely dream place and location to die for.
Apartment 713 is in excellent condition and has everything you need to live independently. Not that we could resist the miriad of restaurants around.
Checking in was reported as being problematic, and we found a slight hitch. 713 is a private apartment and not overseen by reception and staff. Infact a little problem with the safe, couldn't open it, would not be dealt with by the reception and directed to the owner to find a solution and it was sorted. Infact the owner Zita(Maria) was a dream to deal with, any question is answered immediately.
Just make it known to the reception you are talking about a private apartment and you are immediately on the same page.
Great to have 2 bathrooms, 1 for the kids to mess up and one for me, heaven.
No change of towels and sheets, but I'm not sure if we could have done if we asked. Aircon kept the bedrooms bearable in the heat of the night.
The terrace was a daily suntrap, glorious to sunbathe on. No table umbrella I'm afraid and no canopy so expect to go home very sun tanned.
Sadly the week flew past in this marvelous apartment, but plans already afoot to return.
