Great hotel. Very friendly staff, excellent choice of breakfast options (including the prosecco bucket). Outside pool area great for relaxing and swimming. Only slight niggle for us was having to pay to access the sauna and steam room although given how hot it was not sure we have actually used it.

You can’t fault the staff at every level, the rooms are a good size and the sea views are great, although some of the carpets are getting a bit thread bare with over use, and a few repairs and replacements wouldn’t go amiss considering its status as a 5 star hotel, can’t really call it shabby chic, you do have to watch out at weekends for the dance club across the road that likes to keep you entertained until the early hours, and doesn’t really make any difference even if you close the window. Great on location for the old town and easy access to the ferries though. An entertaining stay.

We have been to this hotel many times as we live Olhão. Hotel still really good but some areas could do with TLC especially around the pool area. Disappointing they removed the fresh orange machine for breakfast. Also as a multiple time returner a 'welcome back' when you check in would be good.

Honestly worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Rooms not to bad but could do with a good clean, bedding had marks on it. Service was awful, food was shocking. Everything at this hotel was hard work! Thankfully we went to try before a main holiday, luckily I can cancel and will. Struggled to stay here for 2 days not matter about 9. No thanks. Oh and they have a massive fly problem, Everywhere in the hotel, restaurants, bars, it’s really bad.

Undecided about stay

Nice hotel, but would say it’s more a 4 star hotel. Certain aspects let it down. Rooms are in between an upgrade. Breakfast was tasty but would perhaps become samey if you stayed longer than three nights. Rooms were sound proof which was great. Pool towels are very small and sunbeds were uncomfortable, having to find the towels at the spa was unnecessary. Nice location near to centre and restaurants. Good restaurants in the vicinity. Would I return, possibly, although don’t like to visit the same place twice, so probably not, but hotel has potential, just not there yet for a five star hotel.
