"A great hotel in an excellent location, easy to access by car (free parking for the hotel guests in the barrier-equipped parking right in front of the hotel) and a short walk from countless restaurants, bars, and shops in the center of Olhao. The view over the pool area and yacht harbor to the Ria Formosa national park and barrier islands is wonderful, the staff is helpful, the decor is nice and modern with a classic touch, and the breakfast is superb!

"The hotel was truly a beautiful gem in the Algarve. The vast property had fabulous restaurants, fresh amenities, a truly a one stop resort. The rooms were very spacious for 5 day stay. The breakfast area was so efficient that once I ordered my main dish, it arrived within minutes of ordering. The pool was clean and equipped with everything.
I will definitely come back and stay here again and again."

Very comfortable hotel with beautiful manicured grounds. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. Breakfast buffet was superb. Only problem was a lack of local restaurants in easy walking distance, encouraging visitors to visit the resort restaurants which were mediocre and expensive.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this 5-star resort! It is the type of place I look forward to returning to. Super safe and peaceful property with trustworthy employees. The staff really go out of their way to be kind and we felt each of them did an excellent job!
The hotel room had a thoughtful design with plenty of space for two. I enjoyed that the toilet was in a different room than the shower. As we were there a week, I also found the large closet system well designed. I...

Nice property. Great rooms. Beautiful view, if you get a beach/water view room. We had reserved a non-water view. Asked for upgrade at check in. Got the upgrade but had to pay more money, thought that was a perk with Expedia VIP, but wasn't. Nice bar area with good views and decent food. The upscale restaurant was good, but pricy. No restaurants next to hotels for food options. 15
Min walk or very short drive is the local village was is very tourist oriented and has lots of restaurants.

The staff were so friendly, responsive and kind. We cannot say enough about them. One of our crew dropped their passport in a small town on one of the days we were out and about - creating a very stressful experience. The people all around us during this event were so concerned and helped us to call local police departments to locate it. We were so grateful.

The front desk staff was very helpful. We wished we could've extended our stay but they didn't have vacancies.
Felipe in the bar area was so nice and welcoming! Definitely made us develop a love for Portugal and his amazing champagne sangria is something you don't want to miss out on!

An unparalleled experience for a European getwaway. We stayed three nights and had a lovely time. On the last evening we dined at Vista and opted for the eight course meal which was superb. We will definitely be back.
