“beautiful, quiet paradise”
this hotel is a fantastic holiday if you want to relax. Few min from the beach and 6 km from the nearest town, Albufeira. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus 3 times a day to town and if you wish to spend the night going out on "the strip" (town's high street) it is only about 12euro to get back. The room is lovely and could not fault the rest of the hotel. The breakfast was fantastic and has a huge variety! The beach is a few minutes away and is generally full of locals, which means it must be good!great beach! recommend walking along the small bays and finding the small beaches and bars along the way. Would highly suggest a visit to a small morrocan bar about 3 beaches on! Amazing! also try the restaurants inland as the ones on the beach are slightly pricey! Generally fantastic holiday would highly recommend!
“Excellent hotel”
We just got back from Portugal and stayed at this lovely hotel. Loved every minute of it.One thing though make sure when you check in, they don't give you room 31 which is next to the reception. We were given room 31, couldn't stand the noise for more than couple of days. Staff was helpful and they gave us a different room. Excellent location and beach!
“great but next time NOT APRIL”
the hotel was great apart from the changing facilities on the indoor pool. suggest you take a robe and flip flops and then use your room to change.
“Best Hotel We Have Stayed IN”
This hotel is set in a nice quiet area - Everything about it was fantastic - Food, Rooms Service, Entertainment AND MOST OF ALL -VERY FRIENDLY STAFF- All English speaking WE WILL BE GOING BACK.
“very impressed”
i found this hotel to be clean and efficent. All staff were friendly and very helpful. The swimming pool was lovely and never to busy on the sun loungers! Entertainment was not brilliant but still fun. Rooms were spaciuos and clean and the sea view was wonderful. Food was good, we had only breakfast and that was very varied, plenty of choice and snacks such as sandwiches to buy at lunch etc were very nice. Overall a lovely hotel in a good location. Throughly enjoyed my stay.
“Excellent place !!!”
This is an ideal place to go to, if you want to go for a short break. its basically 2 mins away from the beech. its best to have the double sea view rooms, as it saves alot of hassle going up and down in lifts. staff were friendly too.
“Excellent choice”
Perfect destination! Me and my husband decided to go there only because of the feedback I read on Expedia. The Hotel is very suitable for all. Swimming pools inside and outside with very helpful staff. The restaurant offered excellent choice of food from breakfast to dinner all buffet style. The beach is literally 5 minutes away and a supermarket another 5 minutes away. As we had an apartment, self-catering made life cheaper over there. Also the bus has a free mini coach which takes you to the town 3 times a day. Also the hotel can organise Airport transport. As mentioned excellent choice and would definitely go back!!!
“Good hotel for the price”
The hotel was very clean and very confort, definitly I will stay again there
“Goog.”
Not EXELLENT, but very good hotel. Really 4 stars.
“Great place to stay”
Excellent location, pool and grass surrounding were ideal. Rooms were good,breakfast very good quality but maybe slightly cramped seating area. Staff were quite dour and not as efficient as they could be. Hotel bar was most disappointing part as cramped,and poorly staffed. Nice bar around the corner though. Very peaceful and relaxing all in all and would defintely return there.

Area:
Albufeira, Portugal: The former little white fishing village of Albufeira, now densely developed beneath a sea of apartments and mid-rise blocks, is the regions most popular resort. The pretty Old Town is wall-to-wall restaurants and bars, though some local establishments and residential areas still remain. Its picture-postcard Fishermans Beach, with spectacular ochre cliffs and rock stacks, remains an iconic, albeit often very crowded, Algarve sight.
