the only reason this hotel is no1 in armacao is that it would appear to be the only one there. others are aparthotels. it does not to my mind warrant 4 stars but 3 at a push. rooms are not very large and the balcony is aprox 3ft square with metal chairs(nice when it's very hot) and a damaged table....

Just returned after a lovely relaxing week at this hotel. We had a room on the fourth floor with a sea view which is a must. The balcony was very small, but adequate for a weeks stay. We stayed on a room only basis, with the option of eating in the restaurant if we so wanted. There are so many... More

The Holiday Inn Algarve is hard to beat in many ways. The location is 2nd to none, sitting right on the beach at the beginning of the pedestrianised area of Armacao De Pera. Our sea-facing room had a superb view of the beach and towards the town. The balconies are small, but perfectly adequate for a short stay. The hotel... More

I recommend this hotel but you must have a sea view room 3to 5 floors best but second okay.The room we had was on the second floor but higher would give a better view, the room was large and so was the bathroom, clean and nicely furnished with coffee and tea tray. The re is a fridge for you cold... More

We booked this holiday as it was "A Great Getaway" in conjunction with British Airways and Saga. I personally, am not enamoured of Saga but the hotel looked to be in a good location. This indeed it was and could not be faulted for location. However, the room was small and the bathroom miniscule (found a cockroach in room one... More

A last minute decision when the Saga holiday sheet arrived. Sounded good. A resort we had not been to before and far enough away from Albufeira. The hotel is ideally situated in that area. The town area is not the greatest for shops but a great market once a week. The staff were the best we had come across being... More

We came with high hopes for this hotel having received several recommendations - perhaps our expectations were a little too high. The positives are that the hotel is ideally situated overlooking a beautiful beach and views from rooms with a sea view are stunning. There is a lovely sun terrace with pool ideal for sunbathing. The hotel is exceptionally clean... More

A nice hotel in a super spot next to a lovely beach. Should you be looking for peace and quiet in Springtime this could be the place for you. We spent a week there in April 2012. The weather was kind and the accommodation very good. The town, however, was very (and I mean very) quiet. No shortage of restaurants... More
