Algarve Adventure Vacations

Highlights - Excellent breakfast, piano player creates great ambiance - 15 parking spaces directly at hotel, unlimited parking at back of the Marina - ask hotel for details - 15 min speedboat ride to the beach; Captain slowed down to film/take pictures of wild life - Location excellent - Room and balcony with marina view highly recommended - Staff arranged a surprise gift for my partner's birthday Lowlights - Shower screen not long enough - bathroom floor gets wet - Pillows to thin (personal preference) - very little space to store bathroom toiletries

I had a good stay there. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is a 3 star. The gym needs and upgrade. There is a shuttle that takes you to the beach club, the beach chairs are not included as I assumed. Close to stores and restaurants and the bridge to cross to the marina. 10 min walk to the center, 20 to the public beach. There is a breakfast buffet with variety which was okay.

Family friendly hotel at perfect location.

I've read some odd reviews so here's my take. This is definitely a 5 star family resort. We loved it. The setting is beautiful, staff super friendly, lovely beach and the restaurants were all great - particularly the one on the beach. We stayed in a townhouse for 7 nights which worked perfectly for us, as it gave us plenty of room, separate parent and children bedrooms, a lounge area for family games at the end of each day and a kitchen for a bit of laundry, snacks and coffee. There was a seating area outside but we didn't use it much. We paid for half board which worked well for us. It was a bit of a faff having to book places and most restaurants had a small extra cost for more expensive food and drinks (plus tips) but worked out just about fine for us. We didn't find the restaurants that busy and service was excellent. Overall, a wonderful holiday. If I was being picky, I'd say the cleaners left things out on show which didn't feel 5 star, the cleaning was a little random (towels etc.), the gnats need to be sorted or screens used (bit of a nuisance), and better lighting for the main entrance when venturing out and about. But I'd definitely recommend this place - 100%
