“Definitely defied expectations!”

Very different from our usual holiday and at about a quarter of the price I think it was phenomenal value for money. We arrived at the airport and were greeted by Jet2 reps who told us room wouldn't be ready until 4, this was zero problem as you can store your bags and use the pool etc, just make sure your swim gear is accessible! In the event the room was ready sooner anyway. We travelled as a family of 6 with an 18 year old, 16 year old , 14 year old and 11 year old. Both rooms were spacious and absolutely spotlessly clean, both had large balconies and a rack for drying clothes. The 1 bed apartment also had a well equipped kitchenette, more than adequate for making snacks or breakfast, we booked B and B so didn't use it. The B and B was great, small selection of fruit, yogurts, pastries and hot food items that was regularly replenished, really fresh and again spotlessly clean. A thumbs up from us. The cleanliness was a real feature, rooms, communal areas, bars, pools were all spotless. There are two pools with plenty of space although inevitably people do reserve sunbeds very early. We didn't eat in the restaurant in the evening but had a drink in the bar and it was laid back and just a lovely atmosphere. The location is brilliant, a short walk into the old town where there are every cuisine option you can imagine! The walk and the old town whilst packed, felt very safe and was full of families. The staff in the hotel were outstanding , from reception, to the bar and restaurant , housekeeping and maintenance they are all an asset to the hotel. We ate lunch in the hotel a few days and it was delicious, fresh and good value. Overall we couldn't really fault it and wouldn't hesitate to return. Nothing to do with the hotel, but as another point of information, we paid for a private transfer with Jet2, which was seamless and really reasonable, quite a long transfer so we thought it was worth the money. We loved Portugal, beautiful place, wonderful people and a really excellent hotel.

Just returned from a fabulous 10 night stay. The hotel is well situated between the old & new towns & the beach is close by too. Everything you need is literally on your doorstep e.g. supermarket, restaurants, taxi rank etc. There is a nice chilled atmosphere around the hotel. There are 2 good sized pools (noisy & quiet). The rooms are a decent size but slightly dated. The rooms are clean & housekeeping are available to clean your room every day. It can be noisy at times but a lot of that is down to the tiled floors in the rooms & people moving furniture around. We ate at the hotel restaurant a few times, the food was absolutely delicious with huge portions. Lastly, the staff are so friendly & attentive, the reception staff were so helpful as we booked a few excursions through them. Special mention to Marco the barman, he’s a breath of fresh air & great at making cocktails! Thanks everyone, we’ve had a great holiday & would love to return in the future!

Just returned from a week at this hotel and wanted to give an honest review,. Firstly the staff are really helpful in the bar and restaurant, the food was nice and service was good. Had a lovely massage with the resident beauty therapist and the reception was always helpful. Yes the rooms are dated, the beds are hard but we knew that from the other reviews. We did have a little visitor from Mr Cockroach in the bathroom but they did sort the problem out. The lift hasn’t worked all week but most importantly you should know anyone having a road facing room you need to know it’s a major road busy allday and night. The two pools are really nice but they desperately need new sunbeds. We didn’t find one that wasn’t broken in some way all week long. the 4 star rating is a bit of a stretch. Would we go back to this hotel , no but we loved the location and would visit the area again.
