This was our 8th visit since 2004.We keep going back as we are always made to feel welcome. The staff are always friendly, and the rooms are comfortable without being luxurious. Location is excellent, with easy access to the beach, and to the town's attractions. It is only let down by the poor cooked breakfast.

As we were attending the Algarve 41 Club Ladies Night here on Saturday 11 May, we decided to book our favourite room on the 4th floor for 3 nights as we enjoyed it so much at Christmas and also the previous May. The weather was superb so we decided to stay 4 nights and were lucky to be able to... More

Previously known as The Garbe, Holiday Inn have taken over this hotel. They have invested in it by upgrading the rooms and public areas but have very sensibly kept the same wonderful, delightful staff. The main advantage of this hotel is it's fantastic position right on the beach (not near it, or by it but ON it). The views are... More

Superb reception staff willing to assist with all queries. Location on beach (in sea soon??) with quiet pedestrian precinct at front. Buffet food OK for occasional meals but plenty of decent restaurants in old town. Room was extremely large but without much furniture and was quite dated. Balcony view was spectacular. Fitness room was not very good. Equipment was tired... More

This hoteL is just fantastic so relaxing, The breakfasts are some of the best we have had and we have stayed in some top hotels around the world. The food at lunch and dinner although high standard I think it would be better to cook fresh instead of having it sitting in warmers stewing and going soggy . We also... More

English tv channels were available in the room. The restaurant and bar had picturesque windows all along one wall which added to our enjoyment of... More

Re:visited after 6 yrs, now under Holiday Inn ownership .Hotel in ideal situation near beach and a very interesting small resort, which has a huge range of lovely restaurants.Holiday spoilt by uninterested Reception staff, allocated a smoking room which was changed to room at rear which had constant 24hr noise from kitchen extractor. Transferred to sea view room, which had... More

Aramaco is one of the best beaches. And to have a hotel "right there on the beach" is unbeatable. We stayed for 5 nights over the Easter break. The pool was heated, the beach accessible from the hotel, and wonderful staff. "Rodrigues" in the restaurant not only ensured we tried the local deal coeds, but was always at hand to... More

We stayed here in April, our third visit to this hotel. As previously the staff were all very helpful and did their best to make our holiday as good as possible. I was a little bit disappointed that the room wasn't as clean as previous visits. The hotel was very quiet with most of the guests being elderly people on... More
