We have just returned from a week at Placid Village as a family of 5 (3 children aged 11months, 5 and 8). We went with friends who have 3 children aged 7,9 and 12. ||Check in was very quick and easy. There are not many apartments so the pool is never crowded. We always had sunbeds and there were always spare ones. The pool area is immaculate. Pool is a perfect size and the little circular pool is about 2ft deep so it’s great for little ones to splash about in. There’s a small area next to reception that caters for breakfast although we didn’t use this. They do however have drinks in the fridge at a very reasonable price (€2) for all fizzy drinks and large bottles of water. They also sell ice creams. ||Apartments are big! All very modern and usually the beds are rock hard but these beds were like being in your own. Daily maid service with beds being made, clean towels and bins emptied. They provide towels for by the pool as well as for washing. There’s a washing machine and dishwasher. The kitchen is fully equipped. ||We walked to the local mini shop which was a 10 minute walk to grab essentials and pool floats etc. then from there it took about 5 more minutes to get down to the centre. Carvoeiro centre is absolutely lovely. Every single restaurant we ate in had incredible food. The area is family friendly, a lovely atmosphere and doesn’t feel too touristy. ||Highly recommend...

Read moreJust returned from a 4 night stay in Placid Village. The apartment was a great size and modern and nicely appointed. However it had a large ant colony walking through the living area and a cockroach in the kids bedrooms which left me feeling it wasn't as clean as it should be! I was told the towels for the pool couldn't be replaced for the duration of a stay...in a cheeky tone I was advised I had a washing machine and could use it if I needed them clean!!! Shame it broke and flooded leaving this impossible. (It was replaced but too late for our stay) . Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend Placid Village to my friends but would return to Carvereio as it's a great location. Staff are friendly but need more training to help them when problems arise .... Being told cockroach is a delicacy in some areas is not helpful when your kids are screaming at one in their room! Being told to take your money and use the supermarket washing machine also not helpful when the machine has just...
