From the minute we checked we were made very welcome by everyone. A big thank you to the entertainment crew for the lovely visit to the museum in Quartiera. Thank you to the manager for the welcome drinks and the chance to chat.
Will definitely be back

Good chain hotel comfortable rooms and good breakfast. Full of golfers - think Clarkson meets Paul Merson but they were all well behaved.
A few minutes walk to marina of Vilamoura and a selection of steak houses, Chinese and massage parlours. Ideal for lads golfing tip I would.

We had to leave our original hotel /resort of Albufeira as it was completely unsuitable -so booked this one at last minute -it stood out as being completely accessible, staff are really welcoming and helpful -it is a few hundred yards from the most beautiful beach complete with beach restaurant, beds and good restaurants nearby. The Breakfast Room is excellent with great buffet selection - all round -highly recommended!

We were able to use the hotel's limited free. parking, much appreciated. Enjoyed the lavish breakfast buffet and once dined at the dinner buffet. Very good restaurants nearby. Pools were nice but found the music coming from a resort nearby annoying. The beach also nice with chairs to rent

I liked the location and activities, but my wife got sick probably from a late half-board dinner. On the positive side, the assistant, Manager offered to get us what she needed, which wasn't anything by the time of the offer.

Our room had a wonderful view of the beach. I loved seeing the ocean and hearing the waves hit the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a wonderful variety of options. Great omelettes! I loved using the indoor pool with water jets and hot tub. I enjoyed the promenade along the beach to walk to the neighbouring town of Quarteria or over to the marina which had many wonderful restaurant options. I would highly recommend this hotel.

3 star not 4
Location is great. Hotel more 3 star than 4. Pool freezing (not heated). Had a great room - junior suite. Meant to be ocean view, was more car park! Check-in and out terrible.
Lot of groups of blokes, all ok but less for younger kids. Food dire.

First, and last, time at this hotel. Pretty basic for a 4* Hotel - I can’t remember the last time I had to pay to use a room safe at €2.50 per day. Putting that aside I found the excessively loud music from the neighbouring beach club, about 200 yards away, unacceptable for what was supposed to be a relaxing break.
