Hotel was nice and had a great pool. The staff was terrific! . The bathrooms were outdated and dark, and the beds were hard. Yes the hotel is within walking distance to the beach, but fair warning it’s not close. Especially when you are walking back and it’s uphill and hot.

Very nice & clean. Nothing to complain. But there is no multi plug facilities. So we need travel adapters for our charging facility. And restaurants & shopping centre little away from the hotel but Uber is not expensive. We loved the environment and the service as well as the food.

Would stay here again. Great facilities, staff are helpful and friendly. The hotel is within walking distance of the beach and walking along the coastal path can take you to other beaches nearby. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but the pool cafe had a great range of classic dishes such as lasagne and bolognaise. The spa is lovely offering a range of different treatments. We had a great stay!

One of the ladies at the food area was extremely rude. She told us we could not get coffee as it was not included in our package. We were willing to pay, but she brushed us off. A very basic hotel with no option to get water/coffee/snacks unless you pre paid for the meal option. A little far from the centre as well.

The hotel is far from everything so you definitely need a car or taxi. The hotel was nice but couldn’t even get a coffee if you didn’t opt in for the breakfast plan, which was disappointing (even though we would’ve fully paid for the coffee).

This was our second visit to this hotel and it did not disappoint. We can only think of positive things to say. Cleanliness is outstanding, the staff work non stop to ensure that everything is first class. The area is quiet but there is still enough to entertain even if you have no transport. We will definitely be back, cannot recommend highly enough.

Great place to sit back & enjoy the sun with a huge pool & outdoor bar. Nice evening entertainment to enjoy over a cocktail. Location not for all as its 2.5 miles away from Albufeira. Food was average & don't expect Expedia VIP perks at this property as none received despite being gold.

Enjoyable stay
Good customer service. For 4 star hotel you would expect free safe inside the room [here 2€ per night as rent]. Inside pool was a benefit. We only had breakfast, quite repetitive and focus on british customers, after few days of stay we eat, but some more option would be nice. Few small improvements would maximise the esthetics view of the hotel i.e black silicon around sink, toilet seat in mens toilet in breakfast area. Hotel far away from the sea, not sure if the sea view is worth of extra money.
