“hotel on the beach”
some of the complex pathways need repair and some buildings need repainting especially the block in front of the hotel. overall the situation is lovely and we had a really relaxing and enjoyable week. we are seriously considering returning next year
“Great beach location”
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the hotel. Overall the accomodation is good however hotel decor is becoming a bit tired. Loction of hotel next to the beach is great.
“Not what we expected”
The hotel was rather dated - did not have a bar or a dining room (had to breakfast at sister hotel 6 or 7 minutes walk away). We expected more from a 4 star hotel. Indoor pool area was not as clean as we would have liked, leaking pipes in steam room and ants on floor around pool. It was too far from town to walk easily - a car is recommended.
“It was ok...”
I was expecting the hotel to be in a more lively area and have more amenities. There's not a lot of choice re:places to eat in the evening and I had to ask another holidaymaker where to go of an evening. The one restaurant on site charges 25euros per person for buffet meal (not including drinks) - extremely expensive if you are a family. I'm probably being a bit unfair about the hotel - it was clean and the room had aircon, but no balcony and just wasn't what i was expecting. The pool area was lovely, but the water very very very cold.
“O.K. for what we paid”
Since all we wanted was a cheap holiday in a reasonable location, using self catering facilities, this hotel was fine. The outdoor salt water pool was not heated so only used it once as 19 degrees C was too cold with an air temperature of about 24 degrees. The indoor pool was too small for proper swimming and was also salt water! Having breakfast included at the nearby Dom Juan was a bonus, but the buffet was boring, being the same every day. It would have been better if they varied it by reducing the 3 different egg options and changing the baked beans to tomatoes or mushrooms on some days. Also they need at least one more toast machine, preferably one that works properly all the time. The weather was fine and this made for a good break for the price we paid. Of course the best night out is the "Happy Dinner" at the Algarve Casino in nearby Praia Da Rocha. Where for a mere 27 Euros each you get a beautifully prepared 3 course meal including wine (a whole bottle between 2) and water. Topped off with a show (mainly dancing this time) which starts at 10pm. The taxi was only 6 Euros going and 8 for the return, must better value than here in UK!
