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!

Wonderful hotel, would definitely be 4 star if they offered food. Staff were all very accommodating and the roof top pool and bar is amazing. It doesn't get too crowded as it's only for the use of guests. Rooms were a good size with a very comfortable bed. Highly recommend.
