Staying at this hotel had versions of "The good, the bad & the ugly"! The good being the location snd breakfast. The bad was that it took over an hour to be checked in by 1 receptionist- it was check in time so should of had more staff on. The ugly being there was an major issues with flies (coming from outside , have no problem with nature) but the issue was it took 2 days for them to sweep up the piles of dead flies that were all over reception.

Overall, it’s a nice place for the price. It’s a little less modern than other hotels but again, it’s pretty good for the price. It’s nice because it’s close to the beach and there’s a variety of breakfast options. However, it’s a little far from everything. There are a few restaurants nearby. But if you want to get around more, I suggest to rent a car as there are many places to visit in the Algarve.

Don”t bother

It would have been great if we were elderly Portuguese people, the staff were rude we were not welcome there as an english couple. Its a place for older Portuguese people to have an affordable holiday. Don't sell to the english

I don’t give 5 star reviews ever but I willl make an exception for INATEL. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The service is excellent. The rooms are impeccable and mopped everyday! Love the glassed in shower arrangement. I had a seaview and left the balcony door open most of the time to hear the sound of the surf. The view from the balcony was mezmerizing. The beachfront is gorgeous and steps from the door. Breakfast is hearty and all you can eat. Great coffee.The location is quiet and away from the party scene in the old town but 15 minute walk away of you hanker. Parking is free. For bird lovers there is a colony of swallows who have built nests just above the second floor above balcony level and can be observed swooping around and entering thier mud nests. I spent many hours watching these cool birds. It just goes to show that even a three star hotel can deliver a five star experience!

Perfect location to be just outside of Old Town

We had a sea view room and it was lovely the view was the highlight, the room was comfortable enough what you’d expect for a 3 star hotel. Breakfast was a good selection of hot and cold bits plenty of everything to go around. It seemed more locals stay in this hotel as we didn’t encounter any other English tourists. It’s a short walk from the escalators going down to the old town strip so you’re just outside of all the partying. Staff were helpful we had to checkout at 2.30am for our flight and they provided us breakfast to take with us. The only suprise was the pool is actually across the road from the hotel, we didn’t even visit it as it was chilly and it’s not a heated pool. We weren’t informed about it and had to ask but likely as it was only 18-20 degrees during our stay!
