Al lthe staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were cleaned every day to a high standard, with the towels being replaced every day... More

Well we are off to this hotel for the fourth time. I just know it will be great. We love the location, the views are out of this world. Will let you all know if it is still as good but gosh we do recommend it

We would definitely stay here again if I ever return to the Algarve in Portugal. The staff were very nice. The rooms were very clean and a beautiful view of the beach from the room we had. Breakfast buffet was very extensive for the size of this hotel, great variety. Good value if they could have controlled the weather they... More

We spent two nights in this hotel and not impressed. We found three roaches both nights in the washroom. We went to complain and show the staff and even took pictures to show them and all they did was apologize and said they will tell their housecleaning staff to clean. You cant get rid of them just by cleaning! We... More

We booked an impromptu 5 night break over the Bank Holiday weekend. As this was a last minute decision and we are holidaying in July, this trip was to be on a budget. We just wanted a clean room to sleep at night and from the reviews we read, this hotel looked as though it would serve our purpose. We... More

Stayed there for 2 nights recently in a double room. Comfortable, just; clean, a bit smelly, dark interior, but everything worked. Breakfast was okay. Personnel was extremely friendly and helpful, turned a meeting room into a place for us to leave our bikes in an instant. Good location, near the beach, marina and restaurants and night life. This being out... More
