Lovely three night stay in the heart of Albufeira. Hotel is in a great location with a high end finish. Lots of spots for sunbathing and relaxing. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and enough to choose from. All staff were super lovely. We ask for a late checked which wasn’t a problem at no extra charge. All in all a great stay would be back!

The property was in a great location. It was not as clean as I would have liked. The biggest problem was my partner and I got over forty bed bug bites. When we reported this the desk clerk said they were sorry but found it hard to believe!

The hotel is in an excellent location, close to bars, restaurants, shopping and the beach. A 15 minute walk will get you to a wonderful bakery and two very good grocery stores. The staff at the hotel were very nice and accommodating. The breakfast was quite good, it had freshly squeezed orange juice and you can choose from a menu. The room was large with a nice large balcony overlooking the bars and restaurants. Some reviews said that it was noisy, however even with the music playing at one of the bars we had no issue and had a good night sleep. Finally the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
