Our "Suite was 2 rooms one with a very small ensuite with tiny shower, adjoining room much bigger ensuite but the smallest over bath shower Ive seen. This is not what I would call a suite,
Staff were not attentive in the least, and food was abysmal. Although there was a reasonable selection teverything was cold. Veg was Cauliflower, broccoli and carrots every meal time, always stone cold, the meat/chicken.fish coises also cold.
Even when going for breakfast at 7am when restaurant opened the food was still cold.
One to avoid folks.
Do not stay in this hotel, my wallet got taken out of my bag and somehow it was handed into reception. Basically the cleaner put it outside on the balcony to make out I did. Hotel staff were shocking at handling this serious complaint. Please look at other reviews and this has happened before on a few occasions.
Food is SHOCKING and the COCKTAILS came out of a machine most of the time. Litter around the pool, no way 5 star treatment more like -5.
Save your money and I would advise nobody to stay here in your life time.
Overpriced vs the quality of service expected of a 5* resort.
The kids club isn't one. We didn't feel comfortable leaving our kids in the care of the entertainment team, and as far as I could tell no one did. There are cartoons on at all time, so children daring to play with toys are being policed rather than entertained unless actively requested by parents hovering.- the last 3 days of our stay were crammed with noisy revellers presumably because the hotel massively discounted their rooms to not suffer losses towards the end of the season. Meaning that the indoor pool was horrendously crowded and noise throughout the hotel was epic.
the queues to get served at the bar and seated at the restaurant was overly long (even before the invasion, so never ending after that).- Very limited choices in the food, and the only other restaurant served roughly the same thing as the buffet.
There are no views, the hotel overlooks houses and a road.- on the plus side the family room are spacious, functional and well designed.
a good choice of drinks (better than other all inclusive 5*)- The hotel is a 10min walk from 2 beautiful sandy beaches, 20min from the marina and 40min from the old town (Albufeira)
