Nice stay.
The room was nice. Large, a sofa, twin beds pushed together. Nice bathroom, nice large balcony looking with great view of the beach and the ocean. The layout of the hotel was weird, not an easy flow. Large dining area with buffet breakfast and dinner and live music with a set play list.. We are not fond of buffets so the food was on par with our expectations. The staff was good but not exceptional.

4/10 Fair

Non ci torneremo mai più
Molto gradevole e professionale l’accoglienza del personale preposto al check-in. L’hotel si trova in una bellissima posizione di Portimao, godendo di una splendida vista sull’oceano. Purtroppo la nostra camera è risultata differente da quella prenotata sul sito e, soprattutto, con un odore nauseabondo di acqua sporca utilizzata per lavare, tra l’altro in modo maldestro il pavimento. La doccia era sporca. Inoltre la nostra stanza (601) è dotata di cassaforte, ma priva di serratura che deve essere chiesta in reception. Apprezzo tuttavia il fatto che la direzione ci abbia proposto di cambiare la stanza. Tuttavia ciò non toglie che la stanza deve essere consegnata in condizioni di pulizia. Il problema dell’odore di acqua sporca si è ripetuto anche nei giorni successivi e sebbene segnalato al personale, nulla è stato fatto di concreto. Peccato che questa esperienza è stata negativa, perché era la seconda volta che tornavamo presso questo struttura e per giunta con amici ai quali abbiamo parlato molto bene

Relaxing week
Had a very relaxing week early July. Not too busy so finding a sunbed by the pool was simple as was finding a table in the restaurant. Great range of food at breakfast and dinner.

We loved our 6 days at the hotel, it was everything they said it would be, the beaches, the hotel itself.....only one small complaint, the beds are firm and when we say firm, we mean FIRM. Definitely stay there again!

2/10 Poor

Never coming back
Worst stay and service ever. Firstly I requested when I booked to be on the upper level of our partial view booking as we were celebrating our 40 years of marriage. When we arrived not only did they not honour our request( only hotel who did not in our 11 days travel in Portugal) but they put us in the worst room possible. They gave us room 30 which is located on the lower floor all by itself next to the fitness room and passage to restaurant and near the glass elevator. Everytime the elevator stopped we could heard a loud screeching sound.I guess the break hydraulics. The room was stuffy with very little light because it had a partition wall that blocked half the room with a stain sofa on the other side. The balcony was the smallest and right beside it was stairs for everyone to access the green sunbathing area.No privacy or quietness at all.There was no robes, ration of towels and more importantly only gave you a roll of toilet paper. Towels were awful quality and for paying half board the breakfast was not that great of a variety with only one person cleaning up.Oversll this hotel made me feel like I was on a cruise ship of seventies plus. My husband and I are in our early 60’s. There is a young front guy who needs extra coaching on customer service. When we first checked in he was present and saw us going in and out of the hotel several times and not once did he acknowledge with hello or ask how are day is going.I feel this hotel is struggling and cutting back on things.

Fabulous
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The staff in this hotel are all so friendly and helpful. Our room was bright airy and spacious and also had a balcony. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There was plenty of choice at breakfast, and a pianist playing every morning. We enjoyed a few of the Theme nights and found the dishes very authentic. Architecturally, the hotel is stunning. It is in a quite area, has its own access to the beach and is close to bars and restaurants. All in all, we had a fabulous stay and hopefully we will return.
