We had room 519, one of two suites on the roof (6th floor). Aka "Deluxe double room, sea view".
Wonderful! The secluded outside terrace was as large as the apartment itself, fully private for sunbathing or just enjoying the expansive views of Albufeira.
The interior of the apartment itself was a little tired, with loose wood segments of the parquet flooring going click-clacj as we tried on them. Bed was very firm, but we asked for a mattress topper, which softened things nicely.
Two complaints: the sliding glass doors to the terrace need new wheels/bearings, and the external sun shutters rattled loudly in the wind, all night long on our final night. Like sleeping inside a steel drum.
Staff were considerate and excellent all around.
Parking was free and easy. The hotel garage was available (free except during the summer), but we used on-street parking just outside the hotel entrance.
The breakfasts were excellent, with a large selection of items and two good automatic coffee machines.
Off-seasob dinner was offered from a set menu, which we took for one of the evenings. The food was nice, but pricier than nearby (excellent) restaurants.
Access down to the town and beach was easy, beginning with the steps from the hotel pool, and ending with the village elevator to the beach.
Would stay here again, in the same room. Amazing.
