“Very Relaxing Hotel”
Nice Hotel and staff,nice food,great long sandy beach.
“Excellent”
We stayed here for a week in May and had a really lovely time. It wasn't too busy so there was always plenty of sunbeds but the pool would be big enough to cope with the crowds in high season. We didn't bother to hire a car as there were plenty of bars and restaurants just a short stroll away. All in all, a perfect location for a relaxing week away.
“Fantastic 2 Weeks!”
Excellant Hotel highly recommended Booked Junior suite as have 2 children great service and staff 5 star service asked for refrigerator in room 10 mins later it was there. During the summer every night there was entertainment,karoke or singers playing, Brasil night with fantastic food outside brazilian dancers A very family friendly hotel recomended to all can't wait to go again in the summer of 2006
“good family holiday”
we have just come back from a brilliant week at the nautico with 2 kids age 8 & 6. We had a junior suite which was perfect for us with 2 nice sized rooms giving both space and privacy. The room, hotel and pool were all spotlessly clean. The kids club was hotel run, free and open every day with organised activities in the afternoon including art and craft, games and baking. This was for age 5 up and my kids both loved it (plus it got them out of the sun for a bit). There were activities for adults during the day, usual pool tournaments, water basketball etc but there was no pestering to join in and they did not disturb the serious sunbathers. The evening entertainment was a bit naff but we enjoyed laughing at their attempts to sing in english and they were certainly full of enthusiasm. Due to the different nationalities staying there the breakfast buffet good for choice and even had a healthy eating section (for those like me who like their margarine and low fat milk and yogurt).We only ate in the hotel on one evening as we like to go out and explore. It was buffet style so there was something for us all. Overall a good hotel well positioned on the outskirts of a quiet resort and with an excellent beach nearby. Fantastic!
“Beautiful Hotel”
The Hotel was very beautiful. Staff were very helpful. Rooms were very clean and comfortable very nice pool view. Beach was like 5 minutes walk but there are more nicer beach if you go somewhere like ferragudo. Recommend other people to rent a car to see more places like ferragudo, carvoiera and seville which is like 2 hours drive. There's a chinese restaurant 3 minutes walk from the hotel which is very cheap and nice food. Overall, we enjoyed our holiday in the algarve.
“Quiet and relaxing”
The hotel was cean and service is very good the only complaint we had was that the walls are very thin and if you are a light sleeper you will be distubed I would say for the summer months when it is much busier it would be more of a problem. But overall very good value for money.We were bed and breakfast and pleasantly surprised at the choices we had. Evening entertainment was good aswell with something different every night. The hotel staff were very helpfull. we would definetly stay there again.
“Great Location, V Clean Hotel, friendly Staff - Will Def. Go BACK!!”
The hotel is Great, the staff were more than helpful for whatever we asked. The room was very clean and comfortable and communal areas were always pristine. The gym could have been better equipped though - so if you are a work out freak then don't expect much. However the beach is only a couple of minutes away and a good place to jog or go for long walks. Breakfast was great, but dinner was nothing special - eating out was inexpensive and actually fantastic particularly the Clipper.
“wish we were there now !!”
This hotel is extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The rooms, public areas, bars, swimming pools are all kept to a high standard of cleanliness. One night the pool attendant was cleaning after midnight. A room with a pool view is definitely worth the little extra as you can also see across to the sea and the sun is there all day.You can hardly hear the traffic noise. Another plus is that it is mainly Portuguese people that stay in this area. So everything is very laid back. We had bed and breakfast and the food was lovely. We hired a car for the week though, and I would recommend that anyone thinking of going to Armacao De Pera do the same. Recommended and would visit again.
“Luxury at an affordable price!”
Situated a little far out from the main resort, but the setting of the hotel was beautiful. The only 'negative' comment is that the sound-proofing between rooms was inadequate - others guests conversations could easily be heard.
“Fabulous Spring Break!”
We've just come back from a fantastic holiday at this hotel! We stayed for 4 days in February - it wasn't at all crowded so we had plenty of access to the indoor pool and to the sunloungers around the outdoor pools as well as to the games in the hotel. (Table football, pool etc) The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and there was plenty of food.
