This is our 3rd visit to this hotel and possibly our last. I appreciate this is a busy time of year but I was disappointed to see so many sunbeds “reserved” at the pool. It appears the hotel have no interest in enforcing the “no reservation” policy. This is a 5 star hotel and it is a shame to see anti social behaviour allowed in a nice hotel - this is not a 3 star hotel in Albufeira. I reported this to the hotel but no action was taken. Having spent thousands of Euros to stay here in the last 5 years, we will now look elsewhere to stay. I do not want to arrive at the pool and stress out finding there were no free sunbeds. Otherwise, the breakfast was lovely as usual and the staff (especially Goncales) were welcoming. However, the room maids ignored us on two occasions when we passed them in the corridor - a simple smile would have been nice. Upon checking out, the receptionist did not ask if we enjoyed our stay - she just processed the bill. A little more of a personal touch would be nice.

Pros - Hotel is in a great location, across path from beach, and a 10/15 min walk to the marina and the better restaurants and bars that can be found at the back of the marina. It’s a 30 min, 24 euro journey from airport for 4 passengers and 4 cases (45 euro for airport taxi). Sea view and Vilamoura room views are fantastic. The rooms were better than I anticipated, although not ultra modern they were decent with very comfortable beds, a great shower and plenty of storage. Housekeeping do an excellent job here. Pool area has lots of mature plants and has been designed well. Nice terrace for drinks thoughout day and evening. DJ one early evening and 2 male singers another, both were good. Two pool tables located inside at bar was good for keeping teenagers entertained. Friendly and helpful staff throughout. Cons - Guests start laying their towels to claim sunbeds from 7am. There are plenty sunbeds however those located around the pool are gone by about 830am. It’s beyond ridiculous with one guest reserving 11 sunbeds daily and not using until at least 11am. Staff occasionally go around with a clip board and note empty beds but I never once seen them removing a towel. There are too many parasols out of action and several beds that don’t adjust properly. New cushions would be good too. The bar and lobby needs attention from an interior designer. More money could be made at the bar if hotel invested in this. Although clean and spacious it’s very bland.
