Appreciated every detail about our very nice 5 nights stay here. The location was magnificent, the room was brand-new and huge. The hotel was fairly clean, being close to the beach. All of the staff was helpful and well-mannered.
Breakfast was horrible, can be way much better.

The staff were ever so helpful; we had an early check-in. Extremely pleasant units with an astonishing view over marina. Liked that the property is next to the beach. Restaurant in hotel was outdoor and the pool area was very clean. Carbonated coffee, tea and wines in the roof top bar, private parking place.

Really excellent home base for honeymoon. Comfortable location, luxury rooms, very clean inside and out. Staff was willing to help with where to go in Albufeira. We had a buffet breakfast there, the food was lovely. The room we got was reasonably spacious...
Unfortunately signal was very weak.
