I love this hotel, the complementary breakfast is great and the pool is to die for. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Units have a large private terrace
26 " tv, no facial tissues,too expensive for what provided. Vary basic for the price, I could have stayed at low budget facility with more to offer than this facility.
I liked the location by the beach and the close proximity of the hotel to Monte Gordo Station and Faro Airport. The restaurants and massage parlours along the beach were also top noch.
Now to the bad, the hotel which in my view should definitely not be classed as a 4* hotel for the following reasons:
1. Premium rooms to offer the choice of an upgrade
2. No kettle or Tea or Coffee making facilities
3. Limited to only 4x hot food options for breakfast (Egg, Sausage which didn't taste great, Baked Beans and Mushrooms) The cold continental options were cold the majority of the time
4. Only breakfast meals no lunch or dinner is served here in the hotel
5. No masseuse due to the lady being sick which is understandable but there should ALWAYS be back up staff
6. The prices for the steam from and sauna was ridiculous even when I mentioned it to the locals who live around there €8 for 15 minutes is ridiculous. Also the facilities hadn't even been turned out and meaning as a customer I would need to wait a few minutes for it to heat up before using it
7. Train transport wasn't very good and the prices in general for excursions were misleading because they didn't include pick up from the hotel. The majority were based in Albufeira or Olhão which were far on public transport (train and bus). The taxi option was quicker but extremely expensive. This is the first time I have travelled to a European country and had to figure out how to reach the starting points of an excursion.
Really nice place to stay, better than expected. Spacious room and lovely balcony. Close to Bea h, shops, restaurants and bus stop to explore Eastern Algarve. Pool area lovely and hotel was spotlessly clean.
This hotel isn’t 4 star, very dated, extra cost to use sauna, no beach towels available. Very noisy, woken up at 4/5am from next door and upstairs everyday. Clean and fine for a base.
Property is outdated and a dire need of an update reminded my of Miami's South beach back in the 80's it smelled like old but the place was clean, the breakfast was decent and the staff was very helpful
We've been going to this hotel for a number of years and it's always nice to see the same welcoming people at reception. The hotel is always kept in great condition and the included breakfast has gotten better. Great location, quiet with Spar right across the street.
Hotel room was a good size with an extra large balcony. There is an option to have your room serviced every day, we found the hotel to be very clean.
The beach is a couple of minutes away as is restaurants, cafes and bars.
The pool area is fine and there was always sunbeds available.
There was also a good choice for breakfast.
Um hotel super agradável com piscina de água salgada e ideal para quem procura descanso

Parking is a problem
Our main problem was the lack of parking, which was an important criteria for us when we booked. The receptionist just shrugged her shoulders we we pointed out that we booked a hotel with parking. The hotel’s car park only has 39 spaces and was full for our two day stay. We were put on a waiting list but never achieved a parking space. The nearby on street parking has a four hour maximum stay between 09.00-22.00 and the machine only takes coins. We were forced to get change and then keep returning to our vehicle every four hours which became restrictive of what we could do in a four hour window.
Only top floor was hotel the rest are apartments breakfast was ok but nothing special. Reception staff were good. A lot of pensioners and at weekend hotel was full of Portuguese and mainly Dutch tourists. Would stay there again as convenient
The property itself was fine for the price. Excellent location, proximity to beach, restaurants, bars etc. walkable. Felt safe. The hotel room doors need something on them to stop them slamming. It seems no one on our floor noticed this and the slamming, inadvertently, im sure, contined til well past 1am. 😵💫
Great location, easy walk to the beach, restaurants and Vila Real San Antonio. Room was confortable and spacious, staff friendly and professional. Good breakfast.
