The property is beautiful. The room was clean and the staff amazing. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed every moment. The complimentary breakfast buffet was great and if you choose the dinner buffet well stocked and reasonably priced. There is nightly entertainment should you choose to stay on the resort. Albufeira is a close Uber ride so close for excursions and dinner in the old town. We will definitely return. Great experience.

Was an excellent stay. Both my pregnant wife and I felt very welcome. I had a treat for my birthday and a treat for my baby, the room was always spotless and breakfast, although busy and with some of the staff showing a bit of inexperience, was always great and the buffet was fresh and replenished constantly. Parking was the only thing i can really complain about as there wasn’t always parking nearby (with a pregnant wife i wish this wasn’t the case). Wish i booked a few extra days as 7 days felt short. Thank you for making our baby moon so enjoyable.

I really like this hotel that’s why I came back for the second time this year. Area is absolutely beautiful, good breakfast, nice pool and spa. The only thing I would improve is staff attitude. I do understand not everyone comes from hospitality background but it’s management responsibility to train staff better. When I had to change rooms halfway through my stay informing staff in advance I faced a lot of strange made up issues and excuses saying I have to check out, wait two hours then check in again. It’s not how you handle in-house guests, you treat room changes as a priority not as a new booking. It’s strange that such a nice property won’t have better policies.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Really quiet and peaceful. We did go outside of school holidays so it could be busier during that time. Lovely breakfast loads of choice. Room was immaculate and very quiet. The access to the beach could have been better signposted. The way down to one of the beaches is not easily accessible, don't attempt it if you have any mobility problems or aren't very fit. Very steep steps. The other beach can be walked to easily. The hotel is quite set back in a cul de sac. It looks like its easy to walk to or there should be a cutting to get to it but there isn't and it is quite a steep hill to walk up. The area the hotel is in is quiet, if you are after a central base in Albufeira this isn't the place for you. But there is a bus stop close by and the buses are regular so if you don't mind that it's good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very helpful, although on our arrival (approximately 1230am) there wasn’t a porter to assist us with our luggage to the 3rd floor with 2 long hallways. We had asked for a quiet room, but didn’t expect a room facing rooftops & street lighting for several miles, and a view of the main road into the town, and a generator that cut in/out every 3 minutes from breakfast to dinner each day. Breakfast was very comprehensive, although the evening meal for €110 with wine was average at best, so we continued to you use the À la carte restaurant, that although slightly more expensive, was excellent! Towels on beds was an irritating practice, and remained unchecked. All in all the beach views were spectacular, although I wouldn’t recommend for those unprepared to walk a mile or so down approximately 150-200 timber steps (my wife and I are in our late 70s but are not adverse to exercise) all in all a good holiday, but not a resort I would rush back too! I would be happy to provide a comprehensive ( in my opinion inexpensive) improvement plan, 10 out of 10 for staff attitudes 👍
