Nice hotel with good breakfast,clean rooms, nice pool and gym. Difficult to walk anywhere because of where it's located. It was very noisy because of a rowdy group of obnoxious, drunk golfers that kept us up all night.

Our room was a decent size with balcony. Great shower & big bed!! Pool area was great, just what we needed to chill for a few days. Walkable to the Bouganvilla shopping centre with designer outlets, restaurants and pubs like the fabulous Cheeky Pup!! And a short drive from all the great beach restaurants like Maria’s, Julia’s, Izzy’s etc. Staff were all lovely and so helpful - many thanks!

Breakfast was excellent, room and facilities maintained to a very high standard. All staff, whether in the breakfast room or reception were extremely helpful and friendly. A pavement from the hotel to either QDL or Vale Do Lobo would be the icing on the cake! Ubers are very reliable and plentiful.

Hotel was great - you can borrow bikes to get into Quinta shopping in about 3 minutes. Ubers are extremely quick, reliable and cheap to get into other areas such as Vale do Lobo (around 4 euros!). Lovely pool, amazing breakfast with so much to choose from. The only downside would be how loud the aircon was in our room.

The Magnolia is a great small hotel near to some of the best golf courses, sporting facilities and beaches in the Algarve. Only 20 minutes from the airport, it's the perfect short break destination. The staff are friendly and the facilities good, the cottages are excellent. Well worth a visit.

Little gem

We had a fab time in the Magnolia. Room was small but perfect for what you might need and super clean. Toiletries provided were great too. Pool area is lovely and the towels are great. Sun loungers are a little rigid but look nice. Brekkie is perfectly acceptable and the food in the restaurant seems good all round (we only had one dinner in the hotel). Will defo be back next year.
