Liked: Cleanliness

Fine for some under the right circumstances.

Here’s my experience to help you decide. 1) staff are friendly but front desk is severely understaffed, systems are archaic, check-in’s take forever, and thus waiting your turn for something as quick as - can I have a beach towel, or where is the nearest store will cost you 15-20 mins. 2) upon arrival my room wasn’t ready (OK), I changed in the bathroom, asked for info about the property such as where is the pool, the beach, normal questions. This was a burden to the staff. I stroll to the pool (need a key card) only to find that towels are back in the lobby! Refusing to walk back just yet, I walk to the beach, but then wanting to layout, I walk back to the lobby for a towel. It was only then I learn you need to leave €20 for a towel, in cash. I don’t have cash, my fault, they direct me to an atm 5 min away but the fees are exorbitant. Would have been nice if they pointed me to the Santander which is reasonable. The absence of an intro to the property & basic info would have saved me 20,000 steps. Lots of basic hotel incompetence. 3) Breakfast was a decent spread, no complaints, had all the staples you would expect if you are from a western country (eggs in several way, bacon, fruits, cheeses, yogurt and toppings etc) 4) had the buffet dinner night before my flight & steak was tough, no wine by glass, mash and sting beans not fresh/from scratch. Great desserts though! 5) my room was super spacious, fridge hardly worked, toiletries cheap & so much unfriendly plastic.

Enjoyable Stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It may seem a bit dated, but very clean, and the breakfast were full of varieties. We also like the proximity to the beach and The Old Town. The staff were very helpful. This hotel will be my first choice, when next i visit Albufeira.

Staying at this hotel had versions of "The good, the bad & the ugly"! The good being the location snd breakfast. The bad was that it took over an hour to be checked in by 1 receptionist- it was check in time so should of had more staff on. The ugly being there was an major issues with flies (coming from outside , have no problem with nature) but the issue was it took 2 days for them to sweep up the piles of dead flies that were all over reception.

Overall, it’s a nice place for the price. It’s a little less modern than other hotels but again, it’s pretty good for the price. It’s nice because it’s close to the beach and there’s a variety of breakfast options. However, it’s a little far from everything. There are a few restaurants nearby. But if you want to get around more, I suggest to rent a car as there are many places to visit in the Algarve.
