Great place in Olhao. Excellent value for money. Rooms basic but more that adequate. Generous breakfast buffet. Highlight was the rooftop pool and bar. You can use facilities on day of check out and there are showers that you can access which is a bonus Really happy we stayed here rather than Faro

Very lovely and helpful staff who went out of their way to give us information and tips about the area. Very clean, comfortable and stylish hotel. The roof terrace is a real bonus at this hotel, with fantastic views over Olhao where you can have a drink, watch the sun set and see the starlings and storks coming in to nest for the night.

For what we paid for our trip over Easter it is hard to pick fault with this place. Our room was exactly as we expected which isn’t always the case when going off the pics provided. Decor throughout is very homely, reception, bar and breakfast areas all very nice and the breakfast itself was decent too. Pool and roof bar were perfect for the temps we had (mid 20s) and were never over crowded. Couldn’t knock any of the staff either, all lovely people from reception staff to bar staff to cleaning staff we couldn’t have asked for much more. Would stay here again, no questions.

Very clean place round, some rooms with small balconies, ground bar and roof top bar and small pool (bar limited hours in March). 5 - 10 minutes walk down to quay side and ferries to outlying islands. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful. Good breakfast for €12pp, hot and cold food, three courses set you up for the day. Good value as well. Highly recommended
