This property is located in a beautiful area with restaurants near by, nevertheless the only big problem is that the restaurant lacks electronic payments that I don’t understand, but the reception has one, don’t know why I can grasp the reason.

There seemed to be a lot if rules. The fridge in my room was very noisy. When I complained, the response was to unplug it at night. Not a favorable response as i was ataying for 25 days, so had food in the fridge

Check in and Check out was easy and straightforward. Studio apartment was cosy as expected but clean and well appointed and equipment all worked. The aircon was an absolute godsend! Think that it would benefit with wifi access in the rooms. It's available in the public/reception areas but couldn't see a signal in the room/apartment itself. Would definitely book again next time we return to the Algarve.

Satisfactory accommodation about a 15 minute walk to the main part of town "The Strip". It has "limited servicing" so you get one soap for the whole length of your stay and the towels changed/bed made every second day.

Amazing place with everything nearby you need. A cheap cab ride gets you to more shopping and restaurants and return is so easy with a convenient cab area to get you back to the hotel. A bit of a walk to the beach but worth every second.

Quiet- much needed R and R
Lovely accommodation closes enough to all the facilities of Albufeira but far enough out to give peace and quiet. Family run business - all staff couldn't be more helpful.

Excellent facilities in quiet strong but also easily walkable into the main tourist areas. Only downside was having deliberately picked pay whilst there the accommodation took 50% of the price of the stay on booking.

Quiet location small friendly hotel apartments.
A week was too short. Accomodation was just right. Location close to Albuferia town where restaurants and bars were walkable distance. Beach during the day where parasailing had to be done followed by some food and sangria. Strip at night including more sangria and good Portuguese food. Hotel staff fantastic and they catered for alll needs.Arrived at night and was met by security staff which was 100 percent which continued throughout the week leaving us feeling very secure. Our appartment was close to pool but still had privacy, fantastic layout of the appartments overlooking pool area but not too intrusive. We felt at ease all the time. The staff were lovely and very accomodating and advised us on several matters throughout the week regarding sightseeing and taxis. I would definately return .

4/10 Fair

Average hotel - not good for groups
We arrived at hotel reception after a long mornings travelling only to be lectured by hotel staff about noise levels, coming home late and how our room was to be kept. We found this quite condescending and unnecessary. The manager in particular was very insistent on this matter. We arrived at the pool bar for lunch, not expecting 5 star cuisine, but at the same time not expecting the sub-standard food which was, for the quality of it, over priced. We were reluctant to eat here again, deciding to go to neighboring hotels or cook for ourselves in future. Our biggest complaint was arriving home on the first night. We were met by an angry night watch man Antonio, who repeatably questioned us on who we were, how many were in our group, and then bringing two of us to reception after refusing to believe that we were a party of four guys, insisting that there were two guys ad two girls in our room. After admitting his mistake, he followed us to make sure we went to out room (as he did every night). Kind of felt like your parents waiting for you coming home at night when you were 14. The staff were the main problem with this hotel, and I felt that had we been a family of four we may have had a different experience. Would encourage any groups of young people to look elsewhere

A little way out from the main town but close to the Strip and bullring. Getting in to town is easy with a 45 min walk. The complex runs a taxi service 3 times a day but taxis are cheaper

Excellent
We loved it .. It was quiet and rustic .. Might be too quiet for families if you like lots of activities but if you just like a pool and relaxing it's ideal.. The rooms were spotless and the staff very helpful..We walked every day to the old town either by the beach from the strip or along the main highway.. We enjoyed the excercise.. Sometimes got a taxi back for €5 if it was too much to walk back again.. The old town is lovely full of bars shops and restaurants.. The beach was beautiful ..Can't wait to go back again soon

Great hotel, staff and location.
Good times. Walking distance to beach and local bars and supermarket. Friendly staff and welcoming poolside area and bar. Double bed - 2 singles put together slightly disappointing but often happens in Portugal. Clean rooms and amazing power shower.
