Absolutely lovely stay. Pleasant staff- food was amazing. So close to the beach and additional restaurants. Loved the sweet woman at breakfast each morning.
Lisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice to stay at a hotel with visible management and staff who really care about the guests experience and put their satisfaction at a priority. The staff throughout all went the extra mile to make our stay memorable and enjoyable. This is one of the few places we've been where we will immediately be planning a return visit.
MICHAEL, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had a delightful few days here on my solo holiday. The hotel facilities are lovely and clean. The gym is really decent for a hotel gym, the free sauna and steam room are a great touch. Breakfast had lots of options. The pool area was so nice and quiet. I loved the local area too, I enjoyed my morning walk along the coastal boardwalk, and the beach is great for watching the sunset. I'd definitely choose this hotel for a quiet relaxing break if you want to avoid the "brits abroad" rowdy crowd in other Algarve areas. I'll be back!
Emma, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed the fact that the hotel only has 42 rooms. Also, it is outside of the city but so close to the beach. The staff were all amazing and so helpful. Breakfast was included and it had a huge choice of options to choose from. Our favourite hotel during our Portugal trip.
Carol, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is a wondwrful hotel. However, there was construction work going on such as grinding of cement at 8:30 a.m. Bed was too hard for me and shower was slippery. Tge hotel provided a mattress topper and a shower mat. Made all the difference.

Best of Albufeira

A wonderful holiday here. It was very quiet since it is adults only. Great free breakfast, wonderful staff! The pool wasn’t heated and was a bit cold. We wished they had no smoking on the balconies. Our neighbor smoked continuously out there. Strangely there’s no address so finding it was very difficult.
Barry, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All the hotel staff were so friendly and very helpful, I can’t praise them enough. The little things (like offering to bring breakfast to my table) meant so much to me as mobility can be rubbish some days. We never felt that we had to go out and find things to do, just chilling by the pool or relaxing in the jacuzzi was just what we needed. Rooms were very spacious and very clean. Everyone had respect/consideration for each other which made the holiday even more enjoyable and relaxing. We enjoyed it that much that we have booked again for next year for an even longer stay. I really recommend this lovely hotel

Pool is the highlight

Really great pool area which is the highlight of this hotel. Breakfast is ok, the fresh fruit selection is quite limited. Omelettes/pancakes on offer but couldn’t find the chef to make them. Would be nice if there was a clear eating area outside for breakfast. Room was clean and tidy, having to pay each day for new coffee pods really sets the wrong tone for a 4* hotel, quite odd and never experienced that before. Gym was small but had good basic equipment. Very close to the beach.

Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Mitarbeiter, egal wo man sich aufgehalten hat. Die Zimmer Richtung Pool sind perfekt. Das Hotel ist insgesamt sehr ruhig, das hat uns besonders gut gefallen. Die Umgegend um das Hotel ist lebhaft, aber keinesfalls laut. Es ist überall sauber.

Hotel muito simpático e calmo ao pé da praia

Já tendo estado neste hotel várias vezes, continua a ser uma excelente opção na relação preço/qualidade. Os quartos ao pé da piscina são ótimos, a piscina e o spa também e o serviço de restauração é bom com uma escolha bastante variada. Foi pena terem deixado de ter as cataplanas como opção ao jantar que eram ótimas. A praia fica a poucos minutos a pé e o acesso é fácil. Sendo um hotel só para adultios, é muito calmo.

It was clean and breakfast was good Unfortunately there was a large group during our stay so dinner options were late or in our case we went elsewhere

Gorgeous hotel perfectly appointed and so clean and beautiful. The manager and staff do a tremendous job of keeping everything perfectly lovely and all guests looked after. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

conny, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

When we arrived there was nobody at reception to check us in. Eventually someone came out but he didnt know how to do it. The receptionist came out after a while and did it properly. They said there are only coffee making facilitys in the room by request , i requested a coffee machine then after it was delivered learmt that its a euro per coffee. Tnats the first hotel i have ever stayed in that charges coffee making facilities. Tbere was no iron in the room, i asked for one but they only offer a paid for pressing service. However the quickest turnaround in 24 hours for rhe more expensive express service which is no good for the eveing we arrived. The hotel itself is nice in a very quiet area just down the road from Gale beach which is lovely.

Excelent choice for those who want to spend quiet holidays and don´t have any children that are not allowed. Great pool and spa and a few minutes walk to the beach. Very good service and a big variety of choices for lunch and dinner as well as drinks. Not very expensive having a good value for money.

Peaceful hotel for couples!

Very nice place to stay. Great location! Tasty breakfast. Nice spa. Great staff!
Nataliya, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very close to the beach I found it so strange they didn't give out irons in the room, I landed and needed to go straight to a family event and they wouldn't provide an iron. At least provide an ironing room! Room service breakfast was very poor and I didn't get much of a welcome when I went to the standard breakfast, staff were a bit aloof. Hotel was really nice other than that - plenty of room by the pool.
Calum, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was clean and comfortable

This hotel was very nice, however it was not worth the price we paid when comparing to other places we have stayed. One would not expect water stains in the ceilings and mould in the tub when paying over $300 per night. Hotel was clean and quiet -however they seemed to be low on staff-considering a few staff members commented about just how busy they were. The beach is so close and beautiful-which is a major selling point for sure!!Would we stay again? Likely not given the price and amenities offered.
