Absolutely great place to stay. Location ideal. Close to the action in the Old Town but far enough away to not be affected by the noise. Easy walking distance to everything. Great historic location. Updating Balcony views were great. Breakfast was more than acceptable. Great variety. Only complaint we had was no internet for 2 of the 4 days we were there? Not good. But I would come back.

This is our 2nd time at this hotel. It is a nice property located in a quiet area close to Albufeira Oldtown. Our booking included breakfast which was nice, but fairly basic. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. I would stay here again.

The hotel is divided into two buildings. The one on the beach does not have the same amenities as the other building--for example, you had to walk (5 minutes) to the other building to use the pool or get ice. The bathroom walls are such that turning the light on at night disrupts anyone sleeping, That said, the sea view and balcony right on the beach made up for any minor inconveniences.

Could be so much better

The good things about this hotel are the location straight on the beach, easy walk to old town and the good size of the rooms. What was not great was the fact that despite the hotel being almost empty, they would not allow us to check in when we arrived 45min before the check in time. My husband was feeling quite sick so he had hoped to be able to lay down. Not one of the 3 front reception staffwe encountered ever smiled! The decore in this hotel would be better suited to a hospital. Very uninviting. Our room was large with a great verandah overlooking the ocean, however the bed sheets were too short for the beds so our feet kept on touching the waterproof mattress protector and the quilts had no covers on them. I wonder if they replace those items between guests? No coffee or tea making facilities either in the room or foyer.
