The perfect hotel in the Algarve! My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was amazing. The rooftop pool and bar provided us with an amazing sunset and delicious drinks, and the breakfast served at the hotel was delicious with a wide variety of options. Within walking distance of the beach and shops! The hotel was also very clean, the staff were incredibly friendly, and they allowed us to leave our bags with them prior to check-in. My husband and I are planning on staying here again in the future!

Perfect position in the centre of Olhoa, close to shops, bars, restaurants and the ferry terminal to the islands. The hotel itself is extremely comfortable with a 4star feel rather than the current 3! The roof top pool is shallow so more for cooling off than exercise but there are plenty comfortable sunbeds and towels provided. The views from the rooftop are beautiful especially at sunset while enjoying a drink at the bar. We are frequent visitors to Olhoa but this was our first time at the hotel, we found it provided a very comfortable stay at a really good price. We will return !
