Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was situated on a steep hill, making the surroundings dark and a bit shabby, but overall relatively clean and functional. Despite being basic, my room had all the necessary amenities. However, the presence of cockroaches was unacceptable and quite appalling.
The hotel offers very spacious, clean, and modern rooms with essential amenities like a cooker, microwave, and fridge. However, the lack of coffee-making services and kitchen supplies for a room for three people was disappointing. The location is excellent, within easy reach of the beach and local attractions, but the hilly terrain may not be ideal for those with mobility issues. The dining experience was a bit chaotic at times, with guests struggling to find tables, but the pool bar served great lunch options. The service varied, with some staff members being very friendly, while others were not as engaging.
The hotel rooms, though dated and in need of maintenance, were spotless and serviced daily. They offered great views and were comfortable, but the trek to Block C might be challenging for those with mobility issues. The location was perfect, with fantastic food choices and proximity to the beach and Albufeira town. The service was friendly and helpful, though it could get busy at times. The dining experience was varied, with delicious options like mussels and steak, but some felt the breakfast could have more choices. Overall, a good value for money stay with lovely views and a beachfront location.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and offered a fantastic view, though the decor was basic. The service was generally friendly, with some exceptions. The location was perfect, right by the beach and a short walk to the old town. The dining experience was decent but could get busy. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel had some ups and downs. The room, although not the largest, was clean and had convenient amenities like a sink and fridge. The service was friendly overall. The location had its charms with easy access to the beach but had some noise issues. The dining options were decent considering the price paid. The facilities were satisfactory, though some room for improvement.
