We had to leave our original hotel /resort of Albufeira as it was completely unsuitable -so booked this one at last minute -it stood out as being completely accessible, staff are really welcoming and helpful -it is a few hundred yards from the most beautiful beach complete with beach restaurant, beds and good restaurants nearby. The Breakfast Room is excellent with great buffet selection - all round -highly recommended!

Needs updating but great location.

Old outdated room with shabby curtains, no coffee/ tea making facilities in room and no iron available anywhere. Excellent breakfast. Nice communal areas and great location for beach and Marina.

No towels when I arrived to take a shower Air conditioning did not work Temperature never went below 27 Celsius 82 degrees Fahrenheit My next surprise when I pulled the cover on my bed disgusting stains on the sheets that looked like FECES !!!! It was my first time in Algarve I spent half my 2 days vacation going down to the reception desk and speaking to the manager that refused to even offer me a partial refund other than a disgusting buffet dinner for ruining my once in a lifetime time vacation for me Don’t be fooled this is not a 4 star hotel They only charge like it!!!!
