The property I think is a great place for families, since there is a lot of actives for children which the hotel does.

Great hotel, big and calm. We enjoyed the big room with the balcony, the pool and the location next to the most beautiful beach. Highly recommended.

4 / 5 Good

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel, I liked the modern design, the location, and the friendly staff. In the beginning, we got a room with a bad smell and without a balcony, but then we asked to change it, and they changed it for us. Overall we had a lovely time! :)

2 / 5 Poor

Location can't be better, but this hotel is disappointing. There is nothing really wrong, but many small inconveniences that add to a disappointing stay: small rooms, terrible WiFi, scant options for breakfast, having to pay daily for safe box... it was the most expensive hotel in our month trip around Portugal and Spain and the one that gave us the least out of our money.

Lovely stay at a gorgeous hotel. Was all very clean and well run. All areas of the hotel also felt huge so at no point felt too crowded which was great for Covid times. Beach is also lovely and has a great beach bar. Uber to Albufiera old town or main town is between €5-€10 each way which is very reasonable. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to this hotel.
