Not a great experience. Hotel has 2 separate bldgs that we had to take 2 elevators to get to our room. Front desk staff is ok. The room has the weirdest set up. Open concept and a jacuzzi in between the bed. There was a leak in the toilet that created a huge puddle and spreading to the room (open concept). Location is good but noisy at time. Tv remote and TV are not working for us despite taking 3 trips to front desk as phone is not working either. Not recommended!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was off season and the weather was cold and rainy (end of March) so I didn’t get a good showing of the property. The pool was closed and run-down looking. I rented a car and drove down from Lisbon. Which was great, until I got to the hotel. The streets are so narrow…You really can’t even pull over to get your bags out. You have to park almost a mile away. So I would recommend not staying here if you have a car. With that said, everything around there is walkable and the location is good and Albufria,. The hotel itself is very confusing since it’s built on it hill and you have to change elevators to go to the bottom or top. I found it honestly a little eerie walking around the hotel… especially as a solo traveler. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely three night stay in the heart of Albufeira. Hotel is in a great location with a high end finish. Lots of spots for sunbathing and relaxing. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and enough to choose from. All staff were super lovely. We ask for a late checked which wasn’t a problem at no extra charge. All in all a great stay would be back!

The property was in a great location. It was not as clean as I would have liked. The biggest problem was my partner and I got over forty bed bug bites. When we reported this the desk clerk said they were sorry but found it hard to believe!

The hotel is in an excellent location, close to bars, restaurants, shopping and the beach. A 15 minute walk will get you to a wonderful bakery and two very good grocery stores. The staff at the hotel were very nice and accommodating. The breakfast was quite good, it had freshly squeezed orange juice and you can choose from a menu. The room was large with a nice large balcony overlooking the bars and restaurants. Some reviews said that it was noisy, however even with the music playing at one of the bars we had no issue and had a good night sleep. Finally the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
