Lovely boutique hotel, much better than all those high rise buildings about the place. Love the decor with everything tastefully decorated, even the dining room and its crockery etc. Very nice pool and bar area. Close to beach and so many dining options with great food, Portuguese, seafood and other. Really enjoyed the Wednesday night Portuguese entertainment (we had the guy singer with guitarists, all exceptional) with tapas & dessert platters in bar area.

Great location and modern hotel

The hotel is new and modern. The location is excellent, just a few meters from the beach. The reception and breakfast staff are very friendly and helpful. The bedroom was spacious, and the balcony was a nice addition. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the buffet breakfast was excellent. Overall, we had a great experience.

Poor service & money hungry — staff didn’t seem to want to be there maybe because it’s off season & not exciting. No direction or advice ti give us on what to do. I got message before trip saying there would be 52€ tax on top of hotel room charge, but they retracted. I was told 12€ parking charge per night, but found out parking is free. At checkin the guy came up to us & offered us a welcome drink— we got 1 wine 1 latte but st checkout we’re asked ti pay 7.5 € ——actually I would like that money refunded to me. I had forgotten my toothbrush & asked reception if they could provide — she says 3.5€ — No consideration for guest

The rooms are very clean, bedsheets spotless, same with towels and robes. You can tell everything is new. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a good location to explore the algarve area. It is very close to the beach as well. That being said, the hotel is quite small. Rooms are very small, with small bathrooms and tiny balconies. The breakfast area is quite small and breakfast, while fresh and delicious, was always the same. The swimming pool is also quite small and very cold as it is quite shaded from the sun. I would say this is more of a hotel for a short stay. It is just a base to sleep and go explore.

- Frühstück Das Frühstück war wirklich sehr sehr gut. Es gab eine große Auswahl am Buffet und es war stets alles frisch und lecker. Ebenfalls war das Ambiente im Frühstücksbereich sehr angenehm und schön durch die sogrsam ausgewählte Deko. - Parkplatzsituation Es gibt am Hotel 4 Parkplätze die aber immer Belegt sind. Für 12€ pro Tag kann man ebenfalls in die Tiefgarage. Wir haben uns aber, auf Empfehlugn des Hotels, für einen Parkplatz 5min fußläufig direkt gegenüber vom Hotel hinter einem weiteren Gebäude entschieden. - Strandnähe Der Strand ist in 5min fußläufig zu erreichen und auch wirklich schön. Zu beachten ist allerdings, dass eine relativ steile Treppe dort hin führt, was aber in der gesamten Region so ist durch die wunderschönen Steilküsten. - Lage Generell die Lage des Gotels ist perfekt. Man kann innerhalb von 10min Laufweg sämtliche Restaurants direkt am Strand erreichen. Ebenfalls ist Portimao als Stadt die ideale Ausgangslage um die Algarve zu erkinden (direkt mittig zwischen Sagres und Faro) - Generelles Genrell war der Aufenthalt durchweg positiv. Das Hotel konnte uns auf ganzer Linie überzeugen und wir würden definitiv wieder kommen. - Fazit

Dit is een fijn hotel met grote moderne schone kamers, fijne douche/ badkamer en balkon. Het ontbijt was gevarieerd, veel fruit, veel beleg, div. broodjes en zowel warme gerechten als yogurts en muesli / noten etc. echt top! Het hotel ligt op loopafstand bij het strand, met mooie rotspartijen, ietsje doorlopen dan kom je op de drukkere boulevard die helemaal naar Playa de Rochas loopt ( groot breed, veel drukker zandstrand) Het personeel is uiterst behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Nemen de tijd voor je als je iets van de omgeving wil weten, en geven goede suggesties waar heen te gaan. Heerlijk verblijf!

Das Personal war immer sehr nett und hilfsbereit und wir konnten bereits früher einchecken. Das Frühstück war lecker und für uns vollkommend ausreichend. Die Lage fanden wir super, da es nicht mitten im Trubel war, aber doch sehr zentral. Teilweise war es etwas hellhörig und mir persönlich war das Bett etwas zu weich und die Kopfkissen waren auch nicht so ganz mein Fall, aber das ist Geschmacksache. Wir können das Hotel nur empfehlen.

Simplement parfait ! Le personnel est souriant, disponible, efficace et de très bon conseil ! Le bar, la piscine et le nettoyage des chambres est tout simplement impeccable ! Le tout a quelques minutes à pieds de la mer, d’une balade le long des côtes, de petits resto sympathiques ! La chambre est grande, lumineuse, équipée de la climatisation, d’un balcon et d’une superbe salle de bain, elle est également très bien isolée ! Le petit déjeuné est bon, varié et disponible sur une large plage horaire! Je recommande ++++

We had a fantastic family holiday here in September 2025. Great location on the edge of Praia da Rocha and a short walk from Praia do Vau. We love the family friendly atmosphere and accommodating nature of Portugal which made our trip with a 9 month old easier than we expected. The hotel is well styled and gives a sense of luxury the moment you step inside. Our room was perfect with plenty of space for a cot bed and playtime. The room was very quiet apart from a little traffic noise which can’t be controlled. Our bathroom had a bath which was ideal for our baby. All parts of the hotel were thoroughly cleaned by the lovely hotel staff. The hotel pool is small but perfectly adequate for a relaxing dip to cool down, and with the beaches close by, it was never too crowded. We had a great time and believe the whole experience was great value! Special thanks to Vivian on front desk for being so lovely with our daughter! Would definitely recommend a stay here and we would certainly go back!
