We really liked it in these apartments,they are basic,but have a lovely portugese old style feel to them.The pool and gardens are really pretty and the staff are friendly.The thing i really liked is you was only 10 minutes if that from the strip but you couldnt here any noise back at the hotel.

I have stayed at this hotel on several occasions now, and while it may not be the most modern or up to date accommodation in Albufeira I have always had a nice stay here and it suits my needs. The hotel is rather dated in its appearance, and could benefit from a make over and some money spent on upgrading... More

For a low budget appartment it catered for your every need for a self catering holiday. We stayed in a studio appartment. Staff are very friendly and speak very good english, maid service every day with clean towels and bedding, drinks at the bar reasonably cheap. Accomodation was close to main strip of bars, restaurants and supermarkets, within 10 minutes... More

We were slightly skeptical when we drew up to the apartment however we had a brilliant time here. The room was a little outdated but everything that you could want or needed was provided. Plenty of clean towels were provided, staff were very helpful and welcoming, especially the man who had to let us in at 4am every morning!! The... More
