“Great hotel for a short stay”

A great hotel for 5 nights. The hotel is in a really good location, 5 minute walk from the main area and only €15-ish from faro airport in an uber.

A great hotel for 5 nights. The hotel is in a really good location, 5 minute walk from the main area and only €15-ish from faro airport in an uber. The hotel was very clean with more than enough room for two people on a short visit - the only negative for us was that there was no balcony in our room, but thats something that can’t be helped. The staff were very polite, helpful and friendly. The roof top pool and bar was a highlight. It did get busy but we always found beds on the days we sat around the pool. We didn’t have breakfast but it looked decent. We visited faro for two nights, Tavira for a day - which were both cheap by uber. We also cycled to Fuseta for one day, there is lots to do

Decided to turn right to the Eastern Algarve rather than head to the highlights of Vilamoura, Albufiera et al. Booked with the Hotel directly which was a good idea as they arranged for us to be collected from our late night flight at Faro Airport, Check in was fast and we gained access to a First Floor room with very comfortable Twin Beds, Smart TV , Bedside Tables , Mini Fridge, Tea and Coffee via own Kettle, Safe, and numerous Electric and Charging Ports. En-Suite Shower/Toilet Room was spotless and in place with rest of Hotel brightly decorated with tasteful tones. We decided not to take up offer of Breakfast as we generally like to visit local cafes when away, but from what we seen and heard the Breakfast was very good and reasonably priced at €13. The Prime area was the Rooftop Pool and Bar , which was never too busy, Staff were brilliant, smiling and advising on best cocktails to have, which was good as we had one of each during our stay, the pool was “fresh” but not bitter cold and could be entered no problem. The Location was perfect for wandering down to the Market area where numbers of bars both large and small matched our hotel for hospitality and quality, while being busy it was never noisy and gave a great impression of Olhao. Would return to Hotel and Resort

“We would stay here again.”

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in a Premium room at this hotel this April. We did have a few problems but nothing major. Communication with the hotel was very good before we stayed there.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in a Premium room at this hotel this April. We did have a few problems but nothing major. Communication with the hotel was very good before we stayed there. On arrival we were allocated a room on the 2nd floor that we had requested. Decent sized room with two single beds. When we entered the room there were about 20 flies in the room, we spent about 15 minutes trying to get rid of them. I am not sure if the window in to the room had been left open before our arrival. There was one chair in the room for the two of us plus a small stool. We were given a complimentary bottle of water on the first day but it was never replaced for the other three days. We were given one sachet of coffee between two people for the first two days, no coffee at all on the third day and two sachets on the last day. The room and hotel is spotless. The decor is lovely. We found the pillows uncomfortable, one very large one and one small one. The open wardrobe's hanging rail was very high up and my wife could barely reach to hang her clothes. The air conditioning was difficult to work. We could switch it on and change the temperature higher or lower but we could not regulate the strength of the fan. We found the shower in the bathroom good and non slip but the squeezy bottles of shampoo and soap were located quite high on the wall. We could not adjust the height of the hand held shower head either. Staff at reception were all very nice and helpful. The staff in the breakfast room were very good and special mention for Sofia. The breakfast offering didn't vary at all over the four days we stayed there. A few changes to the hot breakfast offering, the brand of yogurts, the types of bread and rolls and small cakes would have made a huge difference. The hotel is in an excellent location. Half way between the sea front and the train station. Nice rooftop swimming pool and bar with great views over the town. A taxi to and from the airport to the hotel cost us €31.
