    We stayed at this resort August 2010, took our three children and grandchild. A long flight from Canada, but well worth the trip. The owner made sure everything was perfect, she was very helpful, even checked out a rental agency for our car. Will certainly be going back.

    Paradliding thrills! Sao Rafael Haven

    As a family we first visited the Ponta Grande resort ten years ago. Our three children quickly made friends, with the result that we had a great holiday!. We had such a good time and made such wonderful friends, we returned the following summer. We continued to return every year and eventually bought a villa in 2005. Now we have the opportunity to visit four or five times a year, and make use of the lovely warm weather during the low season. Every time we visit we discover something new which adds to the special experience of visiting this part of the Algarve.

    Our latest discovery was the thrill of paragliding! Pedro and Juan, who are friendly and helpful brothers, brought our family and friends out for a day's paragiding - it was such fun we went back for more!!

    The thrill of the water park never leaves us, and every year we return to Slide and Splash - where the fun trying all of the water slides stays in our memories!

    One of our favourite restaurants is the Sunshine Bar which is a short walk from the villa. It is a family owned, rustic restaurant whose speciality is Stone Steaks! It must be the best steak we have tasted - and the novelty of cooking your own steak to your taste on a hot stone, is perfect for a festive occasion!
