Have just returned from a week's stay at this comfortable hotel. The first thing to stress is that it is perfectly positioned for those staying in Carvoeiro as it is virtually at the top of 'restaurant hill' the long steepish descent into the town which has countless good quality restaurants on both sides of the road. It is a 3... More

In it's favour this is a clean, comfortable hotel with good breakfasts. That about sums it up, it has no atmosphere, staff are miserable and very thin on the ground. Could never find anyone to serve us at either bar so ended up spending our euros elsewhere. Where the 4 star rating comes from I do not know, a passable... More

Arrived at 1.00am, friendly reception. Room clean, comfortable, light and airy and aircon a god send. Only negative no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. Pool area is excellent, clean and plenty of sunbeds and umberellas. Pool bar open serving soft drinks and alcohol,and snacks. The waiter could do with smiling occasionally !. We stayed on BB basis,... More

Spent 10 days half board here Sept 2011 myself and hubby (both mature lol) and found the hotel to be very clean, spacious with a nice pool area and a good location. The food was good, ok as people have previously said the coffee machine causes queues but only until people get the hang of it. Plenty of choice for... More

The location of the hotel is ideal, lovely setting, nice pool, lovely room, although it was sometimes six o'clock in the evening before the room was cleaned, but the food ............. breakfast was OK but the evening meal was more like a low end two star, which we only managed twice, couldn't face it a third time, we ate out...

The hotel has some good points - rooms, pool, and, generally speaking, the food. Location also good, although the hill was pretty steep coming up from the beach in the sun at about 4 o'clock! Downside: The David Suchet lookalike on the front desk was a liar. He was also unhelpful and inflexible. We arrived at 1.15 after travelling for... More

Just returned from 10 day holiday here.We had read about all the negative reports re this hotel but thought it was worth a go because of its position.HOW GLAD WERE WE.Firstly the much talked about breakfast:The food is local so do not expect heinz beans or walls sausages!but there was plentiful choice of either cooked breakfast or continental style,because of...

We chose the hotel because previous reviewers had said it was clean and quiet and it definitely lived up to that. But this is 3 and not 4 star accommodation. The pool area is lovely, the bedrooms small but adequate although a tight squeeze to add in a child's bed. We had to complain when the maids still hadn't made... More
