Good chain hotel comfortable rooms and good breakfast. Full of golfers - think Clarkson meets Paul Merson but they were all well behaved. A few minutes walk to marina of Vilamoura and a selection of steak houses, Chinese and massage parlours. Ideal for lads golfing tip I would.

We had to leave our original hotel /resort of Albufeira as it was completely unsuitable -so booked this one at last minute -it stood out as being completely accessible, staff are really welcoming and helpful -it is a few hundred yards from the most beautiful beach complete with beach restaurant, beds and good restaurants nearby. The Breakfast Room is excellent with great buffet selection - all round -highly recommended!

No towels when I arrived to take a shower Air conditioning did not work Temperature never went below 27 Celsius 82 degrees Fahrenheit My next surprise when I pulled the cover on my bed disgusting stains on the sheets that looked like FECES !!!! It was my first time in Algarve I spent half my 2 days vacation going down to the reception desk and speaking to the manager that refused to even offer me a partial refund other than a disgusting buffet dinner for ruining my once in a lifetime time vacation for me Don’t be fooled this is not a 4 star hotel They only charge like it!!!!

I liked the location and activities, but my wife got sick probably from a late half-board dinner. On the positive side, the assistant, Manager offered to get us what she needed, which wasn't anything by the time of the offer.

Hairdryer didn’t work, safe didn’t work (and you have to pay to use it). Breakfast is very basic - you even have to help yourself to coffee. Air conditioning doesn’t seem to be functional in many parts of the hotel. No tea/coffee in the room, we had to request a kettle. No iron/board in the room. Had to pay $7.50 to iron 2 items for us. No bottles of water in the room. When we checked in, the guy said we should park in the public parking lot across the road then move it to McDonald’s at 9am. I was confused but I went it, even though I read they had €7.50 per night parking. Of course I forgot to move it and got a very small ticket, but when I went back to reception to complain/inquire, they said they had about 20 free parking spaces!! And €7.50 per night elsewhere if there wasn’t any space in the free parking. So strange. Can’t believe this is supposed to be a 4-star hotel. The amenities in the rooms are the worst I’ve seen at any hotel. It’s like they’re cutting costs. Service has been good when we’ve requested what has been missing, but it’s really frustrating to keep requesting things, and it spoils a trip. We did not expect to have to pay additional for water, iron, or safe ( even if they were small amounts).
