Great for the price. Really comfortable room and good location. Clean and well appointed. North best restaurant or bar at the hotel, but not bad either and there were loads of great local places within a few minutes walk. I’d recommend.

Really nice hotel in a great location to explore the town. Carpets were a little dated and the “gym” was not great. Better to go for a walk. Otherwise was really enjoyable. Visited Armona island at it was a magical day.

Lovely hotel that we use each year at the end of the summer. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast is lovely, lunch is good but dinner is not the best. We ate out as there is a wide variety of restaurants along the marina. Perfectly located, by the marina and 20 mins drive from the airport.

Must admit this fantastic hotel is always on our must visit list - this time we went to Noelie the adjoining restaurant and the food was all first rate. Tanu the somellier recommended a stunning Dao when we asked for a white wine recommendation - it was excellent and we even had a fluffy almond desert upon the staff recommendation - suffice to say it comes highly recommended.

Our sea-view room was as requested - spacious, clean and with twin beds. Staff were very helpful throughout and the place was kept spotless. Excellent pool and leisure facilities. Very good buffet breakfast. Olhao markets are a short walk away with lots of good restaurants nearby. The best ones book up early. The railway and bus stations are a 20 minute walk if you want to explore further. All in all an excellent stay and we would certainly stay in the future.

Nice location and really good breakfast. Room was very comfortable and well decorated. Location was great - right on the marina and walkable to a really great park and markets, shops & restaurants. Gym hours are limited (didn't open until 8am) and the temperature in it was too warm for me, but otherwise gym was great. Pool area was really nice, too. Hallways look dated but everything else looked great.
