Punta Blu Residence, Apartamento Alto Padrão no centro de Bombinhas - 4 dorm

Getting around was exhausting, with so many ramps and stairs between the apartment and the outside. Access is really difficult, and I don’t think it’s suitable for elderly people or wheelchair users. The apartment itself is very nice and has a pretty view, and the condo has a wonderful pool. But it was infested with cockroaches. We found lots of them around the balcony and in the entrance hall, and unfortunately we also came across a coral snake beside our car.

There’s a very good heated pool, a five-a-side football pitch, tennis courts, and other facilities at the complex. The apartment we stayed in was comfortable and pleasant, with all the amenities and services, and the facilities are excellent. Just be aware that the slopes up to the apartment are very steep. You’ll get a workout, and there’s a risk of damaging your car. I’ll be back as soon as I can!

The main things I’d like to see improved are pedestrian access and access for guests who rent for two weeks or a month. At the moment, facilities like the poolside grills, gym, and spa are off-limits to tourists and reserved for apartment owners. It’s a pleasant place for a family trip, with nice surroundings and views. The heated pool has areas for adults and children, plus a wet sun deck.

There were very few shops, and when I visited, there was no electricity.
