Comfortable & spacious rooms. Helpful & friendly staff

We arrived very late due to flight delays. Joe on reception was extremely welcoming & friendly & gave us lots of good advice plus some sandwiches, drinks & fruit as we missed the evening meal. Our room was huge, we had large lounge room, plus a kitchen area & bedroom, bathroom & balcony. Absolutely tons of storage space too plus a safe. Rooms were dated but clean & comfortable. We were all inclusive. The food was mostly good. There was a small vegetarian section which could have been a bit more adventurous but was perfectly tasty. The pool & bar area always had spaces available. Personally I appreciate staff not allowing the reservation of sunbeds. There was no entertainment but its usually pretty formulaic in other venues & we were not missing it at all. The beach is 5 minutes walk & lovely, if a bit "touristy"!! it's quite a few flights of stairs down to the beach which is fine going down but you do have to return back up them!!! All in all we had a very pleasant stay here.

Wouldn't Recommend

Where do I start? Food is utterly abysmal, if you have kids I would avoid this place as they really don't cater for them at all. We asked if nuggets could be put on for our son and they were provided just twice - if you are going to attract guests of all ages you really need to do your homework here. I'm not expecting a la carte, but I do think it's not unreasonable to expect it to be hot and not dry. The pool is nice, fairly large and generally uncrowded but there are some rather absurd rules on the go. You can take drinks there, but cannot take food. Now if this is to avoid litter, then there still is due to drinks containers (tiny plastic efforts) so it seems pointless to me. And it seemed to be only done on certain days - some days it was completely ignored by staff, on others strictly enforced, as were the towel rules. Saw folk taking down towels from their rooms which were just ignored. Being a family of three, we couldn't go to lunch together or our towels would be removed. Now I know you can't expect to "reserve" sun loungers for a whole day, but quite literally talking 30 minutes here but that wasn't allowed. Pool is open from 9 through to 7, we'd gone down one day at about 8.45 but not to swim - simply to sit at the pool. Grumpy guy scattering stuff in the pool (not sure what this was) (at 8.45 mind and it opened 15 minutes later) chased both of us from the loungers and out the pool area! The rooms are dated and in need of refurbishment. Continually you'd hear folk dragging their wooden furniture across the floor, walls like paper and so are the floors. Absolutely no entertainment day or night, the poolside bar is opened from 9.30 pm to 11 pm but rarely attracts more than a dozen folk to a place where all they can do is chat and drink from plastic cups. When we arrived at 9.30 pm on a Friday night we'd just missed dinner (this turned out to be a good thing) and were provided with a bag with sandwiches and fruit - two slices of dry bread with very inexpensive meat and cheese, a banana and tiny bottle of water. I'd to nip round the corner to the shop to get some real food and refreshments. Food was bland, tasteless and repetitive. Serious danger of someone getting hurt in the buffet cafe as there was a bottleneck when you'd to queue for a table, this being right beside where they dispensed drinks - also young children wandering around with plates nearby - an accident waiting to happen! Being right beside a busy dual carriageway it was very noisy due to folk thinking it was okay to speed up and down. I know some have had good experiences, but I really don't understand why - hotels rely on repeat business but I cannot see what the attraction would be to return here. Would we return to the Algarve - of course, it's a beautiful place. Just not here.

Very good we want to return

Just had a 7day stay here and we loved it. Upon arrival the staff are very welcoming and friendly, the hotel was very tidy and clean. We stayed in room 1206 on the 12th floor and oh my goodness we had a balcony probably the size of 10 average balconies put together. We had a huge outdoor kitchen/BBQ area, outdoor dining area and 4 sun loungers to lay and enjoy the sun all day long. Stunning views of the city, beach, harbour, sunrise and sunset from our balcony. Maids came every day which was lovely. Apartment was 2bedroom and was huge, size of a good size bungalow back in England. Loads of storage space, fully equipped kitchen area and plenty of extra bedding and towels. Pool area was perfect, I really liked how you were not allowed to reserve sun beds which meant you didn't go down to the pool and they were all taken by people who were not even there. Great little pool bar, again staff were very friendly. Restaurant has plenty seating and a good variety of food, although not much to our taste so we actually ate out a lot after going in and checking what was available. Breakfast however was amazing. Good variety of drinks included, served in small/half glasses but staff happily put in bigger glass when asked. No diluted squash in restaurants, pubs or supermarket so if you like squash for kids I'd recommend packing a bottle to bring with you. Aircon in the room was a good send in this heat. You could clearly tell the staff worked very hard to ensure the hotel was kept in very good condition and guests looked after. Local beaches are spectacular, we especially preferred the one on the right hand side which had caves to explore too. If you go here sit on the sand closest to stairs and before first set of caves as the sand has less/barely any rocks and shells in the water compared to other parts of the beach so you don't hurt your feet. If you go to beach buy a donut off the people walking round with big coolers; they are devine we had chocolate ones and cream ones. Guys selling big beach throws too, I'd recommend one they were great as a blanket to sit on. Indian restaurant opposite the stairs down to beach is really good value for money and very tasty. Lots and lots of shops and bars and restaurants on the main strip (3-5min walk from hotel entrance). We soon learnt that the shops stay open till at least midnight so we enjoyed the sun during the day then went shopping on evenings. Get a Uber taxi to Aqua shopping centre (about 8mins away) there.is loads of shops and restaurants there; again open till about midnight. During the day the streets are cheerful but on an evening it's like the city comes to life, lots of people shopping, lots of extra restaurants, stalls, shops, kids rides etc open up. Night times were great to be out with all the locals. The bistro restaurant (near the Indians) served the best rib eye steak I've tasted. If you walk along the beach all the way to harbour (20-30min walk) there is lots more restaurants, water sports and excursions, we booked a dolphins and cave boat trip with 'sea dolphins' and it was great we got to see loads of dolphins (book the 9am boat). The caves are so beautiful to go and view too. Location was amazing, we really wish we stayed longer and we would 100% come back to this hotel but go self catering or half board if available.
