Hotel a {{star}} a Distretto di Faro, ({{countryName}})

Abbiamo avuto una pausa di cinque notti a Faro e siamo stati a questo hotel, convenientemente situato vista la marina. Il bus dell'aeroporto vi getta entro tre minuti a piedi dall'hotel e la stazione ferroviaria è un po' più lontana. Abbiamo avuto fortuna di avere una bella stanza con balcone da cui potevamo vedere la vecchia città oltre la marina, e la stanza era molto comoda e di grande dimensione. Uno degli svantaggi dell'hotel è l'ascensore piccolo dalla zona di accoglienza ai piani superiori: abbiamo usato le scale per un accesso più facile una volta portato i bagagli nella nostra stanza. Il colazione era molto buono con una zona piacevole, che era molto calda anche nel novembre. In generale, siamo stati molto soddisfatti del nostro alloggio e saremmo sicuramente rimasti lì se dovessimo rivedere Faro.

We arrived just before 1pm, aware that check-in is from 2pm. The receptionist was friendly and immediately offered to check if there was an apartment ready for us. She checked us in early and explained how to find our way around the hotel. We stayed in a premium one bedroom apartment which was exactly as advertised. The apartment was clean and modern and quite big. There was a TV and air-conditioning in both the living room and the bedroom. The balcony was big with a table and two chairs. The pool area was big with lots of loungers, we never had any problem getting one. Staff frequently checked the pool area to keep it tidy. The pool could be a little cold at first but this wasn't a huge issue. Because there are two large pools, there is plenty of space to have a good swim. You can buy drinks and snacks from the snack bar and take them back to your lounger. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis. Breakfast was from 8am to 10.30am. Breakfast was buffet style with a mixture of continental and cooked options. Every day there were little slices of cake, the chocolate cake was delicious. There was also a nice selection of bread and rolls. The fruit selection was one of the best I've had, including fresh melon, pineapple and kiwi slices as well as fruit salad. I liked the location of the hotel. It's in a quiet area and is only a 10 to 15 minute walk from the old town where there are lots of restaurants. We had a lovely stay and I would happily return.

Beautiful and well maintained grounds. The facilities provided in the accommodations were very good, fridge, freezer, dish washer, cooker and microwave. The kitchen was in good condition and looked fairly new. However, sofa and other fittings looked worn and tired. The Accommodation is within a stone's through to the beach. Approximately 10 and 15 minutes stroll to the beach As we were slightly outside summer season. Only Bed & Breakfast option was provided. We found the range of food provided for Breakfast was to a good standard. Restaurant Staff were helpful and polite. The reception staff were very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful in giving us advice on things do and places to visit in Portugal.

Il mio primo viaggio da soli/la mia data di nascita mi ha reso qui. L'hotel era perfetto e il personale era bello e utile! Offriscono suggerimenti sui luoghi di visita e le cose da fare. Ho anche una bottiglia di prosecco e torta sorpresa consegnata alla mia stanza il mattino di compleanno! Molto tranquillo e tranquillo, con così tanti posti vicino (10 min a piedi o meno) ma se non ti senti come esplorare, l'area di piscina, il spa e il tetto bar potrebbe essere più che sufficiente. Anche il colazione è stata deliziosa con una vasta gamma di opzioni. 10/10 da me!

The receptionist is very welcoming, the restaurant (where we had breakfast) is cosy and the breakfast itself has good variety, the townhouse has nice interior design and all necessities. We walked to Carvoeiro centre from here and also to the east over the cliffs and to a playground, so for us it was quite a good location.

Esta ultima ha sido mi tercera vez en el hotel y sin duda la más decepcionante. Hemos ocupado dos habitaciones durante tres dias. Seis noches en total. El motivo de mi disgusto es que solo se nos ha arreglado la habitación en tres ocasiones de las seis contratadas. Nuestros horarios han sido dejar las habitaciones a las diez de la mañana, regresar a las tres y volver a salir a las seis de la tarde. En mi opinión tiempo mas que de sobra para tener las habitaciones listas. Lo comunicamos en recepción y la respuesta fue que había que esperar a las siete de la tarde que es la hora límite de la limpieza. Añadir también que una tarde sin avisar entraron en la habitación de mis hijos con ellos dentro y a nosotros nos despertaron llamando a la puerta. Como refiero es la tercera vez que nos alojábamos en el hotel y hasta ahora muy bien, pero esta vez no ha sido así. Pagamos muchísimo dinero en un hotel de cuatro estrellas para pasar tres dias, puedo entender que el hotel esté lleno, pero si hace falta más personal se le debe contratar.

Booked a 3-night twin room to attend a friend's lecture in Lagoa. The hotel, or better, motel is excellent for those on wheels, not for those on foot. If you have disabilities find another town in the Algarve. Some sets of stairs do not have rails, you have to go round the entrance to physically 'get in'. The reception has only 1 staff member when off-season, be prepared and do it all online. Forget questions about taxis, transportation, and restaurant advice is really subjective. The room was very comfortable, the second door to a set of stairs (curled) with direct access to the car park/entry of the hotel area was not. Cold and humidity pass through the doors (front door leading to corridor inside as well), as doors need maintenance. Breakfast is good and varied, for all tastes, except gluten-free options. Internet signal very weak, had to use phone data package. Check-in is only at 4pm. Pro's. besides what I already mentioned: bus terminal 5 min walk, good restaurants each way 5 min walk (one is just next door), supermarket passing the roundabout, beds very comfortable. You can walk to the centre (10 min walk) but the town is without interest, unless you are there for an event, for those on foot, you can stay here and get to know other nearby cities in the Algarve by bus, as the terminal is so close, and it is not expensive to go around by bus.

Really enjoyed a 3 night star here at Aquashow Park Hotel. It was nice and quiet which is what we needed this time of year. All the staff from the minute we arrived until we left were so helpful. We enjoyed the meals in the restaurant, everything was tasty and hot. Nice selection every night too. We made use of the gym, indoor pool, spa, outdoor pool & the games room. All areas were clean, looked new, well kept and comfortable to be around. Only downfall was no crisps 😂 and the amount of small children taking over the jacuzzi when cleared signposted no under 16’s but not the end of the world. I recommend downloading Uber when you arrive and catching a taxi to your hotel as the airport taxi cost 31€ yet the Uber cost is only 11€! Local markets are really nice to go and visit if you’re a morning bee, the staff cab direct you to the seasonal ones. Really impressed with our visit here and will be back in the summer. Also the indoor water park next door is absolutely worth the money! We spent 2 days there and was so impressed!

Can't tell you how amazing this hotel is - we go to it every 6 months. I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Im ridiculously fussy and drive myself mad to be honest, I've always had issues with my childs health from he was little so we have always needed to bleach everywhere and travel with Dettol wipes and anti- mite plug ins and goodness what else but I have come to learn that i dont need to do this in this hotel, you could eat your dinner off the floor as we say in Belfast. We took my pops away this time with us because unbelievablyhe has never had a foreign holiday, and he's nearly 70 years old - he was blew away. Food is amazing - My son Jack has ADHD &Autism, and he is extremely fussy about his food, what it looks like, what it feels like, the textures, the colours. It's a nightmare, but he loves the grub at Vila Galé. There's never an issue. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, pool bar, Alá Carté restaurant, ”The Masafina”. There is so much to choose from. My daughter Annie loves the food too, she's usually eats like a mouse but eats like a horse when we stay here, haha. There's nothing better for a parent in my humble opinion, to see your children sitting down to lovely big plates of healthy food from all different continents. There's a spa, 3 different steam rooms, massage rooms, yoga room, a big Gym, jacuzzi, large heated indoor pool, tennis courts, golf course, splash pool Park especially for the children(and big kids ie: adults haha), volleyball pitch, football pitch, table tennis, adventure park, big trampoline (which is really good fun), fruit tree orchards, herb gardens, pool tables, darts tables. There's things I will be leaving out because they weren't as important to us. This hotel works hard for conservation, they grow their own fruit. There's olive trees everywhere all over the hotel grounds too. The grounds that surround the hotel span a couple of miles- it's a beautiful walk. Obviously they have an outdoor pool too, but you see it in the brochures and yes, it really does look that stunning. I should probably mention that the pool bar don't just do ”run of the mill” food- we are all vegetarians so we always get stuck with things that way. They do the most gorgeous veggie wraps, salads, veg burgers etc. The pool bar menu is stunning. The ice cream is Carté Ďor and they have an amazing sugar free range as a family member is a type 1 diabetic, which has led us all not to take sugary drinks. The public toilets are always in immaculate condition, always spotless, shining, soap, toilet roll. No problems there. Rooms are lovely too. Housemaid are amazing and do an amazing job. The restaurant staff are amazing. The hotel staff at reception are great too. I hope this review helps, I highly recommend the Vila Galé Lagos, Preia Meia, Portugal. Its expensive in some peoples opinion but- to me I always believe you get what you pay for and if my children are looked after and happy, that's all I want. I'm 100% happy. Book a room- you won't regret it. Mi

Beautiful property right on Praia da Rocha. Excellent service at check-in, was given a quick tour of the lobby and room by a wonderful gentleman. Beautiful and tidy room, stunning view from balcony, though the small bathroom window opens into the corridor and at times there is an unpleasant odour from a pipe in the toilet. Breakfast was adequate and delicious, staff were helpful and nice. Overall a great place to stay!

We stayed a week with the team at Victoria Sports & Beach Hotel and can honestly say we had the best, most relaxing holiday ever and that's saying something seeing as we travelled with a 5 & a 7 year boy! The staff were super lovely and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them including fixing 5yo's shoe! The food was varied and tasty with a mix of fish and meat and vegetables. The cheeseboard was a lovely treat. There were a variety of activities to participate in and we even had a go on the running track and tennis courts. We had the best time and cannot thank the staff enough. My two want to move to Portugal now!

L'hotel è situato a 15 minuti di cammino da Albufeira, ma è la prima volta che abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel e non sarà la nostra ultima. È solo 5 minuti in taxi nella città antica e molto vicino ai bar di Oura.Abbiamo trovato la pulizia e il servizio sono molto buoni, puliti di tovaglioli ogni giorno e cambiamenti regolari se il letto è di letto. Anche il colazione è buona senza scelta. Non abbiamo usato la piscina perché era così occupata.Non abbiamo potuto ottenere letti solari, ma questo è dovuto principalmente agli ospiti che li hanno riservati, che è annoiante e non dovrebbe essere davvero consentito. A nostro avviso, la zona della piscina è abbastanza piccola per ospitare il numero di ospiti che vi soggiornano, soprattutto perché gli appartamenti vicini possono utilizzare anche le strutture. Tutti in un grande soggiorno . Ci saremo di nuovo

E' tornato da un soggiorno di quattro notti in questo bel hotel. Il personale dove molto amichevole e utile. La piscina è sorprendente, solo un po' fredda per noi di usare questa volta. Non combatte per le camere solari, i tovaglioli forniti e un bar laterale della piscina. La camera ha un letto massiccio che era molto comodo. L'unica cosa che direi è che la situazione del bagno è un po' strano. Ci è poca privacy, è una situazione di scatola di vetro. Anche se sei sul pavimento non c'è balcone privato. È condiviso. Ritrovo che ci sia un po' di problema con la privacy, ma abbiamo avuto per noi stessi. Direi che la stanza potrebbe fare con un bin e una sorta di schermo per il bagno. Se tiri la porta per il doccia, nessun altro può usare il bagno, perché è solo una porta per entrambi.

Wow! Where do I even begin? Firstly, this place needs more than 5 stars, easily 10 stars minimum. Apologies for the long review, but it's hard not to say so much So lets begin... From the moment I stepped out of my transfer and layed eyes on this beautiful and absolutely stunning hotel, I knew I chose the perfect place to stay during my little solo relaxing getaway. I then walked into the main lobby of the hotel and again WOW! Stunned by the beauty of the reception area, but then I was graciously welcomed as I arrived, which made me even more so happy of choice of stay. The beautiful lady at reception was just so warm and welcoming, making me instantly feel at home. Once she checked me in, I was offered leaflets that were very helpful in activities whilst I'm here and other necessary information. I then proceeded to my room and continued to be stunned from the beauty of the rest of the hotel. It is a 4 star hotel but my personal opinion should easily be a 5 star with the amount of care and how much they do for you the definitely what feels like they go the ends of the earth and back to make you feel welcomed and just important ☺️. After that the lounge area for sunbathing, the swimming pool, the restaurant/ bar stunning, then they have a relaxation sections where you can do and relax with a book or something, they also have a meeting area if your a business on stay. Then you have the spa area from all massage rooms to steam and sweat rooms, then a small but great little gym to work out in. The rooms WOW! So as I came in, I switched on the TV, and there was a greeting screen saying, ”Welcome in Portuguese and with my name. Again, stunning, absolutely amazing, comfy, and spacious for just me. I have been sleeping in a king-size bed with fluffy and melt in your head pillows, and I have never felt relaxation like this before. Now food breakfast, let's start there incredible a all you can eat ranging from all types of cereals, oats, granola and museil to mixed nuts, then you have a section for continental food such as pastries, pancakes, mini donuts to chocolate covered ones (each day different), then you have hot food proper crispy bacon, Sausages, 3 types of different eggs, beans, cheese topped tomatoes, beans etc you get the idea. Then, the machine has freshly squeezed jucies to a lovely coffee machine and other hot beverages. Then we have the evening meals and wow again incredible and so tasty 3 course meals every night whilst waiting for your meal you are given a small taste bread board. The presentation for everything is amazing and eye worthy. What I truly like is that it's open to the public. Also, whether you're a guest or not, you can enjoy a spectacular breakfast, lunch menu, and evening meal. And to finally top it all off with my stay here I came to Portugal to not only relax and sightsee but to celebrate my birthday and not only did the staff wish me a happy birthday which I thought was so lovely of them but they also then when I c

L'hotel è bello quando si cammina in porta ma il resto dell'hotel è data. Necessita di un rivamp totale. La stanza è pulita e ben attrezzata con frigorifero, microonde, caldaia e lavastoviglie e tutti gli utensili, ma senza condimenti. Molto rumore da un sacco di uomini che si battono alle porte a tardi di notte e voce alta. C'è un totale di 5 piastrelle nella stanza, solo uno che ha funzionato e questo è quello per la caldaia il resto è stato nascosto da mobili e probabilmente la ragione per cui sono nascosti non funzionano, quindi è stato un incubo se avete bisogno di elettricità per più di 1 piastrelle. Con un adolescente era tortura. Eravamo a metà tavola, ma il cibo non era grande, la selezione era scarsa di 4 opzioni calde. Carne, gambe di pollo, pasta con salsa separata e un pezzo di merluzzo. Provato il ristorante due volte e aveva le stesse opzioni entrambe. Quindi non sprecare i vostri soldi a metà tavola. Molti bellissimi ristoranti vicino. Molto consigliare Clay forno che è indiano prima di arrivare al ***** e Giardino d'oro cinese al fondo del *****. Tutti e due cibi erano fantastici. La piscina ha molte sale solari ma la piscina era congelata, c'è un tetto con una macchina di vendita come il bar. Abbiamo provato la piscina interna che era piacevole, perché è leggermente più calda, ma è fatto per indossare una capsula da doccia che forniscono 4 euro, non capire perché non è impermeabile e il cappello fornito è lontano da appiattire. ***** è a 5 minuti di distanza e la vecchia città è a 25 minuti a piedi entrambi piacevole passeggiata. Abbiamo fatto il meglio della nostra vacanza e abbiamo usato l'hotel come base, sono stato a Albuferia 6 volte ora e tornerò ma ad un altro hotel

I wanted to do a review as before we left I was extremely nervous reading some of the negative ones on here. So we went for 10 night family holiday. 2 adult and 3 kids (16, 10 & 6) We arrived at 1am, checked in with security & a mini van brought us to our apartment. I was pleasantly surprised by our apartment. It was 2 bed, 1 bathroom 1 ensuite (but the same size as bathroom) apartment with loads if space. I couldn't believe the space! Fully equipped kitchen with oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, toaster,coffee machine, fridge and separate freezer. There was also a washing machine & dryer. Plenty of towels and hair dryer in one of the bathrooms. Aircon in bedrooms and living room. Good size comfortable couch/ sofa bed. T.v in living room and bedroom. An extendable kitchen table & 6 chairs. Garden terrace with garden furniture. The resort itself is beautiful and spotlessly clean. It is very big with a good few hills. We didn't mind this but something to bare in mind if you struggle with hills, are in a wheelchair or need extra walking assistance. There was a few creepy crawlies/ spiders/ ants but this didn't bother me. It's a garden village not a 5* hotel complex. There was no building work being carried out when we were there. The area was so peaceful and quiet. Even a night time. There are 4 pools over the resort in different areas. Each area is spotlessly clean and have a snack bar/ restaurant. We spent most of our days at La Pergola poolarea as the kids just preferred it here. There was always a few sunbeds available. Food was lovely, staff we just so nice & friendly, cocktails were good too! Our first morning we had breakfast at Casa Azul. Food & service was excellent and the view was beautiful. We had dinner on two night in O Pavilhão. The food here was exceptional!!! Could not fault one thing. And the staff were amazing, so friendly. I genuinely could not recommend this place enough! Mini market was handy. A bit pricey but had all the essentials. We went to Pingo Doce supermarket about 10min walk from the resort to do a big shop when we arrived. There was a fruit stall along the way and the peaches here with amazing!!! Staff at reception were always very friendly and helpful. We got a local taxi to the Old Town most days, which cost 5e as we needed a 5/6 seater for us all. We got it to taxi rank 1, it was just a 2 min walk from the main square. I tried Uber one two occasions and it was just a disaster so I stuck with the local service and they were friendly, quick and efficient. Never let us down! When we were leaving we got a taxi from taxi rank 2 a few nights and this cost 6e. The weather was amazing while we were here also. Temperatures ranging from 26°- 31°. My only criticism would be the level of cleaning done in the apartment before we arrived. There were a few stains on the counter tops, fridge & freezer doors, inside the fridge. I always do a clean when I arrive somewhere to stay but it's unfortunate that it wasn

Il resort è bellissimo, tante piscine, i giardini hanno una varietà di piante e il personale si prende molta cura di mantenerlo in perfetta forma. Il personale della reception è abbastanza gentile e alcuni parlano molto bene l'inglese, ma la sala da pranzo è diversa. Il cibo al The Palm è buono, la colazione a buffet vale 12 euro. C'è una ripida collina per raggiungere la strada principale, quindi indossa scarpe da passeggio adeguate. Nel complesso, consiglierei questo Resort soprattutto se si tratta di utilizzare la piscina e l'attività. Febbraio/marzo è pre-stagione quindi non posso commentare di più.

Beautiful and tidy room, stunning view from balcony, though the small bathroom window opens into the corridor and at times there is an unpleasant odour from a pipe in the toilet. Breakfast was adequate and delicious, staff were helpful and nice. Overall a great place to stay!

Eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo. Piuttosto fuori mano ma facilmente raggiungibile, camera spettacolare, cena a buffet ricca ed economica (25, più 4.50 una birra media). Ottima base per la zona di Monchique (paesino vecchio, se ci andate in giugno troverete mille nidi di cicogne lungo la strada, uno ogni palo) e per Silves.

La stanza è molto vasta, l'ambiente è buono, molto vicino al mare, è che la cosa ridicola è che una grande camera da letto che abbiamo prenotato è normale per due persone, ma l'hotel ha detto di aumentare i soldi, perché siamo una persona all'ordine e sono stati finalmente rubati 50 euro, anche se abbiamo mandato la colazione, Ma nel cuore non è ancora confortevole. Una stanza che abbiamo prenotato non è un letto. Qual è la differenza tra una persona e due persone.Inoltre, la colazione è molto dolce, non è praticamente disgustosa.

I would love to give this place a poor review to put people off going so I could keep it for myself but that would be doing the staff a real disservice. I can't fault this place at all- the place was spotless inside and out and the rooms were well equipped with fridge ,safe and air conditioning and lovely hot showers. The breakfast had something for everyone and changed each day. The staff are the real star of the show though and nothing is too much trouble. We mentioned we were looking for worry beads and the next thing we knew one of the waitresses at breakfast went across the street and brought back a selection for us to choose from and purchase from the shop opposite. Special mention to Ioanna who was so friendly and up for a laugh she really made our holiday. Great Central location but quiet with a lovely small pool and pool area. Can't wait to come back!

Arrived Friday midday, pleasant and helpful reception staff, easy check in and hotel looked recently renovated with well presented and modern lobby. We unpacked into a large two bed apartment, three flatscreens and sofa, large fridge freezer and all accessories required for comfortable self catering. We spent a nice afternoon at a quiet pool among other families and couples (pool is freezing cold). This is where the good news ended. Around 5pm two coach loads of students descended onto the hotel with shopping carts (actual shopping carts) loaded with speakers and party signs. Our stomachs sank as did our 7yr olds, intimidated by rowdy youths in the elevator. I enquired at the front desk as to the situation and was met with the news that the party had booked almost the entire hotel out of rooms. The Flor Da Rocha sells the rooms as part of a student party package at various times throughout the year, see screen grab. The sequence of events is as follows; two coaches arrive mid afternoon, the lobby and swimming pool both flood with loud students and then the speakers appear on the balcony’s facing the pool area blasting music. Short lull when they dissipate to the supermarket for alcohol then from 9pm (when the families are settling the children) the noise begins again with shouting / singing / Macarena etc etc. people hanging over balcony’s with guitars, clapping and jeering. No intervention from hotel staff whatsoever. It comes as no surprise the in room telephone also doesn’t work when trying to contact reception. The fact Jet2 are marketing this hotel as a family friendly holiday is ridiculous. No sleep for a family of four for the first two nights of a seven night holiday. We selected Praia Da Rocha as a family friendly alternative to the usual stag and hen locations, what possesses the place to host a two day student bender is beyond me. Unfortunately, this is the second time Jet2 have let us down and we should’ve known better than to travel with them again. The rest of the week was fine although the students continue to come and go, fortunately for us the rest seemed to be athletes / youth groups rather than organised party goers. Given time and money has been spent to update the hotel it’s a real shame they choose to recoup this at the detriment to family and couple guests in an otherwise quiet resort.

Hotel fantastico. Le camere hanno pulito ogni giorno posizione fantastica. Il personale della ricezione è molto utile e ha sempre avuto un sorriso. Grazie a Thomas ( penso che questo sia il suo nome) alla ricezione. Quasi ogni notte gli chiese di direzioni verso ristoranti/stazioni di autobus, eccetera, ed era così bravo a spiegarci. La piscina è piccola ma tranquilla e rilassante, il personale del colazione era buono, ma un sorriso semplice al mattino sarebbe stato bello un po '“grumpy” per dire il meno. Umberto era solo grande. Egli è il più alto. Aveva sempre il sorriso più grande per voi quando ci siamo recati. Molto gentile uomo. Avrei consigliato questo hotel. Se mai tornassi a ALVOR, sarò certamente tornato a questo hotel. !!! Solo per dire il jet 2 rep è stato meraviglioso. Ho preso IL una mattina e lei è andata sopra e oltre per aiutarmi. Ho chiamato più tardi quel giorno per controllare me e anche il giorno successivo. Vorrei poter ricordare il suo nome. Quindi grazie a lei !!!

Stavo bene, ma gli appartamenti potevano essere migliori, non c'erano tende nelle finestre della cucina e letti un po' scomodi.

Avevamo scelto Portimao come base per visitare/conoscere l'Algarve e, soggiornare qui, si è dimostrata buona scelta. La struttura è recente, ben tenuta, con ampi spazi comuni, parcheggio custodito, piscina esterna ed interna, servizio bar e ristorante. L'appartamento, un T1 da 60 mq, era ben disposto ed arredato, luminoso e con un bel balcone affacciato verso il mare, che sta 900 metri più in là. Buono il prezzo e cortese il personale. Consigliato

Just back from a 5 day stay at this wonderful hotel. This was our second stay at this hotel. Had a lovely room on 2nd floor overlooking pool. View was amazing and loved watching donkeys and goats in the yonder fields. Rooms were huge with a kitchen which if you wanted had everything you would need. We were bed and breakfast which always had enough choice. The reception staff were the friendliest people we have ever encountered in any hotel we have ever stopped in. Always a smile and a wave wherever they saw you. The pool was never crowded and always got a sunbed. Maybes my only gripe was the umbrellas could be changed as there were a few broken at end of season. It was a 10 minute walk into the town with loads of bars and restaurants. Already planning a 10 night holiday for next year.

The receptionist is very welcoming, the restaurant (where we had breakfast) is cosy and the breakfast itself has good variety, the townhouse has nice interior design and all necessities. We walked to Carvoeiro centre from here and also to the east over the cliffs and to a playground, so for us it was quite a good location.

Assolutamente bella. Questo è l'unico modo che posso descriverlo. Prende il mio ragazzo lì come regalo di compleanno. Personale assolutamente carino, così utile e così autentico. Le camere sono magnifiche, abbiamo avuto una vista direttamente sul bar/pool fuori. Se la nostra stanza fosse pulita ogni giorno senza spot, non sarebbe stato male dire, anche il prezzo è affidabile.Se il personale ci avesse informato quando arrivava il nostro suffolo.Tutto era a posto. Non posso dire che l'unica foto che ho avuto è stata vista perché era buio, ma immagina quella vista quando era luminoso e soleggiato fuori.

Buon hotel situato su uno sperone di roccia a Nossa Senhora de Rocha a picco sul mare tra due spiagge A 2 KM DA Armacao de Pera. INDUBBIAMENTE IL PANORAMA è ECCEZIONALE E’ una costruzione degli anni 70 in parte ristrutturata ,enorme, con scale e scalette ,cortiletti quasi da labirinto, con spazi interni inutilizzati che sembrano tristi. La parte esterna ha 2 belle piscine con ampi spazi per i lettini con delle belle viste sull oceano di cui si sente il rumore .La parte anteriore verso l entrata è meno bella ,direttamente sulla strada,e pochissimi parcheggi. La camera vista mare era un po' piccola,con il condizionatore in brutta posizione che buttava aria direttamente sul letto .Impossibile da usare senza prendersi un accidente ! Meno male che l aria notturna dell oceano è fresca! Pulizia camere NON sufficente.MOLTO affrettata e sempre al pomeriggio..Due volte si erano addirittura dimenticate e ho dovuto richiamarle! NON AMMISSIBILE in un 4 stelle. Il ristorante per la cena era un po’ piccolo diviso tra due sale. Non ottimale! Il cibo era nella media come qualita’ e varieta’.Due volte la settimana c ‘era un po’ di musica ( un po’ noiosa) Per fortuna durante la settimana ci sono stati 3 matrimoni all aperto nel parco con musica un po’ piu’ allegra .Probabilmente questa location per il panorama che offre è MOLTO RICERCATA! E’ un hotel molto isolato per cui sarebbe utile ,data la classe decantata dell’hotel ,un servizio navetta piu’ volte al giorno ( anche a pagamento ) per Armacao Ci sono dei bus locali ma hanno poche corse La spiaggia a dx dell hotel è piuttosto piena e con barche ,pedalo e da essa si accede a un atra spiaggia tramite un tunnel nella roccia a un'altra spiaggia .La migliore per me è quella a sx piu’ tranquilla. Vicino ci sono alcuni ristoranti Per concludere ottima vista e ottimo parco ...ma i servizi e pulizia camere non sono da 4 stelle!

We arrived at this hotel in early afternoon however our room was not ready,the kind receptionist notified us that we can be contacted by WhatsApp when it would be ready and to go and enjoy the facilities.what a beautiful place,very well kept Gardens,and pristine pool area with ample sunbeds any time of day.the room was spotless clean with an exceptionally comfortable bed.the balcony offered sun later in the day which was nice whilst relaxing with a drink.the housekeeping staff work very hard to keep rooms in pristine condition and are always smiling regardless of their hard jobs. The reception staff were always happy to help at anytime of day and were particularly knowledgeable on the surrounding area.the only hiccup I can confirm is that the evening meals and service at the hotel need attention.i could tell from the outset that the hotel was short of staff during these times,everyone was rushing around back and forwards trying their best to meet dinner and bar orders. Unfortunately as a result of this, the food quality suffered as you could tell there was no love from the kitchen in your food and the restaurant manager was simply stressed out! Fix this staffing problem and the chefs way of serving food to guests and you have a great hotel with very good prospects.

A very comfortable and pleasant place to stay. Our apartment was near the bottom of the complex with a balcony that was always in the shade. Other units overlooked the pool with sunny balconies and the “Sunset Apartments” were over the reception/restaurant area with great views and plenty of sun. Whichever unit you stay in the apartments are well kept, clean and airy with a large lounge/dining area. The kitchen is well equipped with a microwave, kettle, toaster, twin hob and under bench fridge. The lounge has a tv, but uk programmes are limited to BBC world News and BBC entertainment channel. OK if you like “Still Open All Hours” and other re-runs, but you are on holiday in a beautiful and friendly place so why stay in and watch TV. There is an on-site shop (not open when we were there but will be by end of March) and nearest and best mini market is in the village o the “Main Street” just behind the village square and opposite the ice cream parlour/cafe. It is a steep downhill walk to the village by the shortest route accessed by cutting through the apartments opposite the reception entrance and turning right but the easier way is to follow the road by going left from reception and right to go back to the main road and turning left. This brings you out at the bridge to the town square, which is where you want to be for great restaurants and drinks. Do not miss the water taxi across to Portimao or Praia Roche (10 euros return) we went to Portimao town to look at the excellent museum set in an old Sardine Canning Factory. I also highly recommend the “Indigo Restaurant” further up the street from the mini market. It serves Indian food prepared by the Owner, Mr Beddi. He and his staff are extremely friendly and very welcoming and he will make you what you want and to your taste. It was raining on our first arrival and I had to go to the village looking for food to cook. I took shelter on the seating outside of Indigo and, even though it was not open, the young ladies preparing for he evening made me a cup of tea. When Beddi arrived I asked where I could get a taxi and he gave me a lift back with no charge for the tea or lift. We went for dinner later as it had stopped raining and after being plied with more foo than was decent we were surprised by the exceptionally reasonable cost. To top it off it had started raining again and the excellent Beddi gave us a lift back again. What a way to start our holiday. Sadly we could not make a second visit as my wife felt unwell for the rest of the holiday (nothing to do with the stunning food we ate). We will be back to enjoy the beautiful area, the warm weather and the warm and welcoming Portuguese.

Quarto grande e silenzioso ma i cassetti sono vecchi e le tende sporche e con parti chiuse. Balcone grande ma sporco e ha bisogno di un aggiornamento nella pittura. Bagno con buono spazio ma con forte odore che viene dal rally. La camera è grande e sarebbe bello avere un altro rifiuti perché ha solo nel bagno e nella cucina. La mini cucina ha un buon frigo ma i cassetti e la piastra sono molto vecchie, con forte odore. Mi mancava il detergente e buca in cucina. Per il livello della camera sarebbe giustificato avere un Nespresso, sarebbe molto buono. Punteggio favorevole sono gli asciugamani di ottima qualità sia nella camera che nella piscina. L'area della piscina è bella, giardino ben curato e sedie top per dormire. Il bar è interessante anche ma non ho usato perché ho trovato i prezzi un po ' costosi. Caffè di mattina medio, suggerisco succo d'arancio fresco per migliorare e più opzioni di pane. Ci siamo mangiati un giorno all'hotel, non consiglio, è un servizio di buffet e la cena non era buona, è stato costoso. Migliore fare i pasti fuori.

Benvenuto. Solo un piccolo bemol, su Trip avevamo riversato un appartamento di 50m2 quadrato, ma una volta arrivato all’hotel ci siamo trovati in una camera semplice. Diciamo che il fatto di’ avere una piscina privata per le camere semplici a compensare questo disagio. Altrimenti un hotel magnifico con un ambiente meraviglioso.

Just came back from this hotel we stayed for 3 nights and it was great. We were lucky and got warmer than usual weather for this time of the year but air conditioning all around hotel and rooms was great. Large outdoor pool and small jacuzzi beside it, also an indoor pool and hottub. The water in the pool was bloody freezing but was still great, has a swim up bar which serves great cocktails and meals, can sometimes be a bit of a wait but cocktails are all made from scratch not from a machine and the food served is lovely and fresh and made to order. Some items and cocktails are more on the pricier side so buying drinks from the local supermarket is ideal. Breakfast in the morning was consistently brilliant, so much selection of fruits, pastries, and hot foods as well as cereals and the hot drinks from the machines are surprisingly very nice. Rooms are slightly dated but not an issue at all, very clean and comfortable with a large balcony. Although the hotel and staff are great theres a few small issues but not anything major and wouldn’t put us off going back. The hairdryers being the main issue. Probably the worst hotel hairdryer i have ever witnessed so BRING YOUR OWN HAIRDRYER and thank me later. The beds could do with being replaced as very very creaky but the mattress pillows duvet comfortable and clean. The minimarket up the hill from hotel is expensive so walk into the town and go to bom dia supermercado for much cheaper water, snacks etc. The area has loads of bars shops and restaurants to choose from, a lovely beach in the area and the views are great. This hotel is at the top of a very steep street so if you have mobility issues this may not be ideal unless you are willing to get a taxi to the top every night as the footpaths are also cobbled and tend to be blocked by cars. If you want to go elsewhere for a night, an uber into Albufeira will cost between 18-25€ per way but the drive is over half an hour so in my opinion a very fair price. All in all a great hotel in a lovely area and would definitely recommend!
