We stayed here for 5 nights at the start of June. We had a room on the 6th floor with a harbour view, you do not need a sea view room to enjoy the view. Location is excellent right across from the main beach and just far enough away from the main stretch of bars and restaurants that you do... More

We would definitely stay here again if I ever return to the Algarve in Portugal. The staff were very nice. The rooms were very clean and a beautiful view of the beach from the room we had. Breakfast buffet was very extensive for the size of this hotel, great variety. Good value if they could have controlled the weather they... More

We spent two nights in this hotel and not impressed. We found three roaches both nights in the washroom. We went to complain and show the staff and even took pictures to show them and all they did was apologize and said they will tell their housecleaning staff to clean. You cant get rid of them just by cleaning! We... More
