"A great hotel in an excellent location, easy to access by car (free parking for the hotel guests in the barrier-equipped parking right in front of the hotel) and a short walk from countless restaurants, bars, and shops in the center of Olhao. The view over the pool area and yacht harbor to the Ria Formosa national park and barrier islands is wonderful, the staff is helpful, the decor is nice and modern with a classic touch, and the breakfast is superb!

"The property is not as presented. The house I stayed in was utilitarian at best. There were no amenities and the pool is off property.
That being said, there was hot water and the bed was comfortable. When I checked in the host said “It’s not the Sheraton” and I agree. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it. "

All the staff were charming and exceptionally helpful. Rooms and communal areas were immaculately clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable with new mattresses. Airport Transfers were arranged for us and reasonably priced. The driver was a friendly character too.

A fantastic and spotlessly clean hotel. We stayed here for a week at the start of March. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best, which meant the rooftop bar and pool area was closed for the first couple of days. Despite the weather, Olhao is a lovely little town with enough bars and restaurants all within walking distance of the hotel. We hired a car to explore the area and towards the Spanish border, and we were always able to find a free parking space in the surrounding streets around the...

We booked a week for our honeymoon and Masana Algarve exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The apartment provided all the amenities needed, clean, spacious and very comfortable. High quality accessories and linen. Accessible and quiet, well looked after and walking distance of sandy beach. Staff very friendly and professional with a very positive polite attitude. Can’t recommend it enough. Definitely will go back. Magical.

This is my second visit to The Navigator- Ocean Heights and the location is fabulous!
Reception desk staff are very friendly, in fact all staff are and very polite.
Been in an ocean view room twice, recently in a room that had a large balcony looking straight at the ocean which was truly amazing! Walking up to amazing views was special.
Great pool area too.
If I am going back to Albufeira for a third time I will definitely only stay at this hotel. Definitely recommend to everyone!

The hotel was exactly as it appeared in the advertising and didn't disappoint. Staff were friendly and helpful and our room was beautifully appointed and clean. The restaurant, whilst quite expensive, was open for long hours allowing lazy breakfasts and relaxed meals, especially when we arrived late at 10 o'clock at night.There was never a problem with availability of sunbeds at the pool as the hotel has a small number of rooms, and the pool was a lovely peaceful relaxing place to be with the...
