Family/friends holiday

We spent 10 brilliant nights at this hotel and couldnt fault the place one bit, the rooms are great and even the rooms facing the road are quiet, not been on a holiday where you didnt need to reserve sunbeds as there was plenty to go round The pool bar is great and food was excellant Location is perfect for the old town

Will definitly return as albufeira is our fave place, all in all its worth 5 star review as had not faults at all

Hotel alright stayed here for a week - tourist train right outside to get but expect bumpy ride - download Bolt and book taxi much cheaper. McDonald’s and kfc across road however Netkafe beside it is great . Never used indoor swimming pool. Outside pool good size - some staff excellent however there are some that need to smile more. Air conditioning in room good - avoid minibar in room jumped up prices. Breakfast ok but if looking for good bacon and sausages keep looking as not good - bar needs work as not utilzed due to having no atmosphere and entertainment needs revamp as people avoided the entertainment.

Fabulous hotel

Absolutely loved this hotel. It is in a great location, with lots of amenities around it, but quiet. Rooms are a good size with comfortable beds and a free safe, fridge and coffee making facilities. I slept extremely well with no disturbances, as you could not hear other guests and the corridors were carpeted. The hotel is immaculately clean throughout. The food was of a high quality with plenty of choice, all at the correct temperature. Servers made fresh salads of your choice and were cooking meat and fish in front of you. The fresh water pool was great. Staff organised fun activities for both kids and adults. There was a really relaxed, friendly atmosphere and people did not race down for sunbeds first thing in the morning as I have experienced in Spain and Tenerife. There were always sunbeds available. All the staff were great. I would happily return to this hotel as a single traveller. 10 minute walk down to the beach or the old town if you want something livelier.
