We stayed here in September 2011 for 5 nights, I'm pleased we where not there any longer. The hotel is large with very dated rooms, we had a room on the 6th floor although the room was a good size the carpets where very dirty and stained, the beds where hard and the pillows a absolute nightmare the worst I have ever encounted, they felt like they had been filled with cubes of hard foam, even when we asked for other pillows the replacements where just the same, so if yo are going take a pillow from home.
Breakfast was not up to much, cheap nasty packets of cereal, a couple of days there was eggs and bacon and the usual cheese, bread yogurts, we did notice that the breakfast improved the day the hotel had some football teams staying there who where competing in a tornament.
We had to hire a kettle from reception for 1E per day as no tea and coffee making facility in the room.
The sun loungers around the pool where very worn although there did appear to be plenty it was difficult to find one that did not dip badly in the middle, so anyone with a back problem like myself would struggle on these loungers.
Location of the hotel is a long way from the beach but in easy reach of the strip, plenty of choice with bars and resturants.
The weather was great for the time we went so that made up for everything else.

this hotel is in a good location just a short walk from "the strip" with a great irish bar over the road, we were golfing and it suited us down to the ground. they have a free minbus that takes you the the old town or beach every hour.

do not go there we stayed in the 99 club apartments also part of the hotel where the rooms are only fear and the staf were lazy and light fingered , on the second day my wifes ring was stolen from the room and got no sadisfaction from the mangaement or the police, we did not see the cleaning that were working on that day for the rest of the week, so take my advice if your going to stay there dont not leve any thing in the room

Just returned from 2 weeks in Clube 99. Started in GO4 which is spacious compared to apartments in block 99. We arrived as a group of 12 and were situated in two different parts of the hotel. One group placed on the third floor, with no lift, buggy and suitcases. After much determination eventually moved after 3 days. Our apartment was very clean. Security grills on windows made you feel secure at night and could be opened to let in sunlight. Kitchen okay but no oven - only a mircowave oven which was hard to cook in. Beds hard and small singles - fine if you are 11 years old. . No double bed, sofa beds in the front room more comfortable and spacious. Pillows found in cupboards. Terrace spacious and fantastic view. One bed ensuite with other bathroom right next door to bedroom. Great for two sets of family sharing as can make your space your own. Staff very friendly, one even translated instructions for medication I had to buy out there. Portugal overall quite expensive especially in comparison to spain. Save costs by travelling to modeleo supermarket where prices are much cheaper - approximately 5 euros in the cab and can stock up. Hotel provides courteous bus to old town and beach every day except monday and sunday which is a bonus. Buses run every hour. Beach in old town much nicer other one has lots of pebbles. Sun lounger on beach very expensive - 15 euros for 2. Clube 99 swimming pool much quieter, lots of space for children and buggies, however poolside bar very expensive - 2.50 for a small can of coke. Suggest you take snacks. Ticket shop (on the strip) great prices for outings - 6 euros for market, 11 euros for lisbona, 29 for auqashow and 12.50 for sunset safari. Bargain prices in comparison to others. Apartments easy access of strip however far away enough from noise. Lorna (think that's how it's spelt) cocktail bar fantastic - cocktails specials and non alcoholic cocktails for the kids which was a hit. Not very far down the strip either. Overall fab holiday and good accommodation. Apartments def a 3 stars but overall good for family needs.
