We have been to this hotel many times as we live Olhão. Hotel still really good but some areas could do with TLC especially around the pool area. Disappointing they removed the fresh orange machine for breakfast. Also as a multiple time returner a 'welcome back' when you check in would be good.

Honestly worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Rooms not to bad but could do with a good clean, bedding had marks on it. Service was awful, food was shocking. Everything at this hotel was hard work! Thankfully we went to try before a main holiday, luckily I can cancel and will. Struggled to stay here for 2 days not matter about 9. No thanks. Oh and they have a massive fly problem, Everywhere in the hotel, restaurants, bars, it’s really bad.

Undecided about stay

Nice hotel, but would say it’s more a 4 star hotel. Certain aspects let it down. Rooms are in between an upgrade. Breakfast was tasty but would perhaps become samey if you stayed longer than three nights. Rooms were sound proof which was great. Pool towels are very small and sunbeds were uncomfortable, having to find the towels at the spa was unnecessary. Nice location near to centre and restaurants. Good restaurants in the vicinity. Would I return, possibly, although don’t like to visit the same place twice, so probably not, but hotel has potential, just not there yet for a five star hotel.
