One thing is definitely true that the hotel is lovely, and spotlessly clean. But i think staff need to understand how much time and money does it take to come to stay there and become a truly customer orientated.I cant say our stay was awful but it didn't meet my expectation . The Reception was nice and helpful but the... More

We had booked into this hotel for a 4 night stay after reading several fantastic reviews in the last few months.After a 20 minute drive from the airport, we were immediately impressed with a warm welcome from the porter/bellboy, Nuno Santos, who was on hand throughout our stay and we were impressed with his polite and professional manor.All hallways and...

I travelled here last week for a few days with some girlfriends. It was a 10 minute walk to the centre of the town for shopping. Great value in the Chinese shops. Plenty of up market shops also. No shortage of places to eat. Highly recommend Gunthars. 10 mins in a taxi. Hotel has a good position. Great it has... More

The Boss re-visited the hotel with her sister (2nd-16th May) after we had 2 weeks here 18 months ago. Before her arrival I had requested a couple of things, a room near to where we were before( sea view, a must!) and a kettle. Both requests were fulfilled although the hotel wanted to charge for the use of 2 cups,... More

Attention to detail I would have thought, making sure that the holidaymaker enjoys their stay, doing the little things that are important, going the extra mile for their guests as well as suberb food and accommodation. We soon found out that... More

My Fiance and I stayed at the hotel for a 3 day break, to see another part of the Algarve away fro the tourist parts and to see the real side of Portuguese life. The hotel was an added bonus, with friendly and efficient staff. The room we had was a sun trap from 7.30am in the morning. The pool... More

Very nice hotel although larger than I would rather choose. Modern, clean and tidy. Staff generally pleasant and friendly. Very quiet rooms, we had a junior suite which really we did not need but reading other reviews you want a sea view. Excellent breakfasts during our stay (8th-12th May) we did not try the dinners for 2 reasons really... We... More
