Good quality boutique hotel in a good location. Car parking garage available. Nice swimming pool and bar area. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast room was a little bit small for the number of guests. Would definitely recommend.

Great location and modern hotel
The hotel is new and modern. The location is excellent, just a few meters from the beach. The reception and breakfast staff are very friendly and helpful. The bedroom was spacious, and the balcony was a nice addition. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the buffet breakfast was excellent. Overall, we had a great experience.

Mid...just mid.
Decent hotel in portimao. Very close walk to the beach, but service was just average. Breakfast had the things you need to start the day but gave off more of a cafeteria vibe.

We loved the interior of the hotel. We would have loved a bigger bar with maybe some snacks we could order. The breakfast room was a bit crowded as well

Awful staff who lack compassion and empathy. We had a family emergency, forcing us to cancel our stay last minute and travel back to the states. “Management” could care less.

Amazing
One of the nicest places I have stayed.
Beach is a short walking distance, awesome family restaurant next door. Kind staff, you can ask for towels to take to the beach.
Two pillows, nice balcony, daily refill of water.
Negative:
Depending on the time during the day you either shower in hot or cold water. Orange juice was one of the most terrible ones I have ever drunk during all my stays in my life. (Could not figure out the reason).

Poor service & money hungry — staff didn’t seem to want to be there maybe because it’s off season & not exciting. No direction or advice ti give us on what to do.
I got message before trip saying there would be 52€ tax on top of hotel room charge, but they retracted.
I was told 12€ parking charge per night, but found out parking is free.
At checkin the guy came up to us & offered us a welcome drink— we got 1 wine 1 latte but st checkout we’re asked ti pay 7.5 € ——actually I would like that money refunded to me.
I had forgotten my toothbrush & asked reception if they could provide — she says 3.5€ —
No consideration for guest
