“Luxury hotel near the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is located in a quiet area near the beautiful beach. To be honest it's a bit far from the centre of Albufeira (ca. 2 km) but we do not care about it.
The rooms are spacious and modern, very clean I have to add. Buffet breakfast was comparable to other 5 stars hotels. Sometimes quality of food was not so high, but the choice was very good.
Outdoor pools were beautiful, there is also a lot of place to walk with a child in the neighbourhood.

“Quiet & Relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

I stayed here in September 2011 and throughly enjoyed the stay. The pool area is lovely - and there are lots of sun loungers. The suites are spacious, clean and the beds are very comfortable.

The food at breakfast was tasty and there was a good choice. The hotel is quite far out of town so you have to get a taxi in and out of Albuferia but it's very reasonable so I wouldn't let that put you off. Highly recommend.

Stayed 3 nights, and was very impressed by the whole hotel. Little far out of town, but fairly cheap taxi ride. Rooms were fantastic. Two bathrooms, kitchenette, huge bedroom, table and chairs. Breakfast good, pools very good and very pleasant staff.

“Not quite 5 star”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Stayed here recently on a ridiculously good golf deal as they also own (CS) a number of golf courses too. The rooms are all suites as the name suggests. The rooms were very clean, well maintained and spacious and the building itself is modern. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and helpful.
The suites are not within walking distance of the either the old or new town and some of the facilities could be better maintained. At the time of writing I am lead to believe that the hotel is being overhauled over the next 3 months or so despite the feeling that it is a new build. I think this is a great sign and shows the level of commitment to high standards by the owners.

Just got back from staying in this hotel, it was great I cant fault it at all .Its very clean , the staff are really friendly , the food was great there was such a choice there must be something wrong with you if you cant find something you like !!
I would recommend a car hire as there is nothing around unless you want a walk to town !

I would definatly recommend the hotel I loved it !!!!
