We had to leave our original hotel /resort of Albufeira as it was completely unsuitable -so booked this one at last minute -it stood out as being completely accessible, staff are really welcoming and helpful -it is a few hundred yards from the most beautiful beach complete with beach restaurant, beds and good restaurants nearby. The Breakfast Room is excellent with great buffet selection - all round -highly recommended!

Staff helpful, hotel clean and pool not too busy. We always managed to get a sun lounger. Good choice at breakfast. I was brought a tray of gluten free items including cereal, croissant and bread rolls. Good location for the beach and marina.

I liked the location and activities, but my wife got sick probably from a late half-board dinner. On the positive side, the assistant, Manager offered to get us what she needed, which wasn't anything by the time of the offer.

We were able to use the hotel's limited free. parking, much appreciated. Enjoyed the lavish breakfast buffet and once dined at the dinner buffet. Very good restaurants nearby. Pools were nice but found the music coming from a resort nearby annoying. The beach also nice with chairs to rent

Our room had a wonderful view of the beach. I loved seeing the ocean and hearing the waves hit the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a wonderful variety of options. Great omelettes! I loved using the indoor pool with water jets and hot tub. I enjoyed the promenade along the beach to walk to the neighbouring town of Quarteria or over to the marina which had many wonderful restaurant options. I would highly recommend this hotel.

No towels when I arrived to take a shower
Air conditioning did not work
Temperature never went below 27 Celsius 82 degrees Fahrenheit
My next surprise when I pulled the cover on my bed disgusting stains on the sheets that looked like FECES !!!!
It was my first time in Algarve
I spent half my 2 days vacation going down to the reception desk and speaking to the manager that refused to even offer me a partial refund other than a disgusting buffet dinner for ruining my once in a lifetime time vacation for me
Don’t be fooled this is not a 4 star hotel
They only charge like it!!!!
