    Noise from the road outside, not a lot to see/do in the immediate vicinity.

    Stayed for two nights, for a wedding nearby. The hotel is lovely, beds are comfortable and everything was clean.

    Only very occasionally there was a slight smell from the ventilation, but it went away after airing the room for 5 minutes. The hotel is a bit away from the beach (about 15 minutes), so having a car is definitely a good idea.

    We had a fantastic stay! The staff was incredibly friendly, especially the bar team and the ladies at reception. The breakfast was amazing – even better than what you'd expect in a 4- or 5-star hotel! The beds were super comfortable.

    The staff at the reception was not very polite. The beach towel policy (they are exchanged only every 3. Day, if You need it mor frequently you pay 3 euros per towel) was not explained in the beginning. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the beach. The pool was pretty dirty (also because the shower next to the pool was not working) and very shallow.

    Very nice staff during breakfast and dinner. Great view from the breakfast Terrance. They removed the towels from people who blocked sun beds in the morning at least once - afterwards everyone could usually always find a free sun bed - i appreciate it a lot and I know most hotels never go through the trouble.

    Staff is incredibly nice and helpful with anything, best guest service I’ve met in Portugal Rooms are dressy, spacious enough, comfortable and clean Breakfast is exceptional with clearly fresh options Location is a little away from city but quite liked that, easy 5min drive reachable from city and train station or about 30min walk

    I have so much to say about this place. It made me and my boyfriend feel so welcomed and comfortable. We couldn’t stop ordering room service cause the food and the sangria was exceptional. Don’t get me even started with the breakfast. Amazing food amazing staff. The very kind gentleman in the bar ( I think his name was Antonio if I’m not mistaken) was extremely friendly and nice. The check in staff was also very helpful. They kindly accepted our early check in request and everything went very smoothly. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to go back. Also the location was great, far from the albufeira chaos and close enough to all the beaches and old town by just one quick uber drive. By the way somedays they have live music by the pool. I’d suggest don’t miss it. It truly felt like a resort experience.

    Excellent alternative to visit Algarve - Amazing Cost/Benefit

    The pool area is a bit smaller than how it appears to be in pictures, however with such amazing beaches close by this becomes completely secondary. Recommendation: Albufeira itself has a very touristy vibe, focus your time on other locations which are perfectly reachable from this hotel.

    Very comfortable rooms, friendly staff, 10 min drive from Albufeira so it's a central location to move around Algarve and reach both the eastern and western towns/beaches. 5 minute drive from amazing beaches such as Falesia and Olhos de Agua. Very good breakfast buffet. Absolutely recommended.

    Although it is on the main road.. I never heard traffic and my room ..even though hotel was booked was very quiet.

    The warmth of the Portuguese people and the Brazilians that also made my stay perfect
