Hello,
We arrived at Mourabel orignally and long story short we'd been assigned to Pe Do Lago, a 2 star when we'd been told to expect a 3 (Booked w Going Places, Operator was COSMOS ft Monarch ft Jet2.com ft Avro ... many companies, its all blended together!!)
anyway our room wasnt ready at 4pm when we arrived which was annoying but you give them benefit of the doubt but it worked out very nicely. Others there maybe read the same [----] reports of Park Mourabel on here so at checkin they wanted to move to Oasis too.
When we got to our room (BlockA, 10) it was a ground floor (reqtd Balcony @ booking "Well i can put it on there" which really means "You'll get what you're given") and we opened the door to our room which was open plan lounge/kitchen, artwork everywhere (actually decent not just Ikea junk), couch, tv, microwave, BIG frige&freezer, oven, 4hobs, kettle, sink, dish washer and two porches, one leading direct to the pool (hop the 3ft wall). So it might not have been THE most securest/ist room it was very nice. Large double bed with loads of storage via sliding door wardrobe. I reackon they'd only just done it as there was still MDF dust on the light fittings in the bathroom (which had a washing machine in it btw!).

Cosmos bus rep was like "theres the door (of the hotel) best of luck!" and jumped back on the bus, which we didnt like.
Local stuff;
Our local rep was called Trevor, he's to the point and that for us was great as we were not looking forward to the dreaded "welcome meeting" and he appreciated that so he kept it to half an hour as he promised. He highly recommended the Augiergeria, augger, aguadeirea (cant remember, you try prouncing it!) cruise which we did - DO IT TOO! This was a bus to the boat, cruise up the river Aguadeiera which works out to have Spain on the right and Portugal on the left. When you arrive at lunch its an all you can eat/drink provided you like sardines and chicken - both were very nice.
