We stayed recently here, the hotel is so spread out it was unbelievable, we were a ten minute walk from the main pool and breakfast room.
The pool did not have a single free sunbed at 10am, the staff did not give two hoots about this,
breakfast was average but a lovely setting looking at the Marina.
The room cleaning service was poor, a good mini bar but very pricey.
Not worth going on holiday here.
You could get far better for the money we paid.
They seemed under staffed.

We have just had a fantastic week and wedding day here , the staff were brill and the hotel was so relaxing and well maintained , we had a group of family who also stayed and were very impressed , no complaints . It's a quite area but only a short walk to the busy street of Parai da Rocha , which has lots of restrants , pubs/clubs and small shops , We and all our guests really enjoyed our holiday .

Stayed in this Hotel for a family wedding
The rooms were very clean and spacious and the bathrooms were spacious too. I must say housekeeping do a great job.
The reception desk were very helpful.
The Wedding Reception was in the Hotels Restaurant and i must say service and food was top class and Breakfast had a great choice to pick from it had lots of different breads and fruits.
The only thing as we were in a group the rooms were not together and as its a large Hotel the were a 10 min walk to get to some family members. The hotel has a shuttle car to take people back to there rooms though.sometimes it was hard to get them.
Also why do they have to charge for wifi that you can only get in the hotels bar and reception area.

We've been to the Algarve a couple of times but only to Albufeira, which we love. My wife found this hotel for a well earned winter break and we loved it. We stayed for 3 nights. The hotel was clean and tidy, as was the room. The service we recieved was also very polite and efficient. The hotel location is within the marina area of Portimao but very close to the great beaches of Praia da Rocha. Obviously the resort was very quiet when we arrived at the end of January but this was just what we needed. It was also easy to imagine how busy it will be in the summer when we plan to return (with our children this time). If you plan to eat out, try La Dolce Vita. A great little italian restaurant which was surprisingly busy when we visited on our last night. The only negative comment I can make was that the hotel gym was a little tired with some pieces of equipment in disrepair. It did have a great view over the marina though.
