"It was magnificent. The view majestic and our room was perfect. Clean, great space, nice amenities ( loved the hair dryer!). Breakfast was fantastic and the bar service was always accommodating. Our ports were remembered from night to night.. "

"Great hotel a short walk downhill to the beach and excellent restaurants. "

"We rented a poolside view apartment for 5 nights, as did two other groups we were traveling with. Pros: pool areas are good, excellent for toddlers, large resort, covering large area, lots of free parking, access to cliffside trails was nice w/ good views, staff all friendly and competent, resort restaurants served tasty food. Cons: there appeared to be very little investment into the maintenance of the facilities. I mean everything...exteriors and interiors. For example, in our room the cold water valve under the sink was turned off because the faucet leaked badly when it was turned on. The refrigerator and freezer doors didn't shut and seal regularly because the cabinets and cabinet doors were all askew. All the wicker patio furniture was frayed and in rough shape. The one couch in the living room was missing all the backrest cushions. The latch/lock for the property gate to the trails was broken off, looked like it had been that way for a long time. The spa area was underwhelming. I definitely wouldn't call it a luxury resort and wouldn't feel it was worth the money if I'd paid more than a couple hundred dollars a night. "

"Could not ask for a better location in Portimao. Very central and across the road from the beach. Very extensive breakfast buffet. comfortable room. Very helpful staff. Portimao is about 45 min drive from Faro and 25 min from Lagos, so it's a good central location. Would highly recommend."

"Excellent property, exceeded our expectations!!"

"Clean room, the beds were’t as comfortable for our preference, too firm. The fridge was confusing to use, not get cold, only a little bit. Bathroom was excellent. Staff was very nice. We would have loved a coffee set up in the room but their breakfast was fantastic. "

"We had a wonderfull stay at the holiday inn Albufeira. The staff was really nice and helpful. The hotel was nice and clean, theyre renovating the inside pool and spa/gym. Good breakfast. And all this for a good price! "

"Great shower power, clean, and a variety of delicious food at the breakfast buffet. I would stay again. There is one item I thought may have been overlooked, and that is the sauna area. The surfaces should be wiped down periodically throughout the day, as the floors were dirty and the turkish sauna felt and smelled unclean. There were children in the saunas which surprised me, as where I am from, children are permitted in only the pools, not the sauna. Also, closing the pools at 7 is early."

"Hotel provided free shuttle to and from beach "
