Great hotel- super friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast buffet covered all tastes and although we only dined in one evening that meal was great- along with an excellent wine recommendation. The room & bathroom were cleaned daily with fresh towels. We loved our stay and if we return to the Algarve we will be staying here! Thank you!

For a 4 star hotel it’s quite run down and old. We stayed 3 days. The amenities are nice. We had an ant problem in our room which was gross, they came and cleaned it up and sprayed a bunch of chemicals. Wouldn’t stay here again!
