Outdated and old, dirty and stinky!! Please do not be fooled by photos, I left after first night!! This hotel is old and outdated with a smell in rooms. The floors are not clean even in Lonnie’s floors with full of stain. The staff can not help you at all. It is a big disappointment. The only positive is a free parking, that is all.

Our first room the air conditioning didn’t work. They upgraded us to a much nicer room where the air conditioning didn’t work there either. Property could use some maintenance. No beach towels on the beach side of the property you had to go to the other part of the hotel across the street. Just not that helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is old and could use some updating, but it was clean and well cared for. The staff was accommodating - they even brought us complimentary champagne after noticing during check in that it was my husbands birthday. The onsite parking is free and convenient if you have a car. The surrounding area is quiet, and only a short walk to downtown Albufeira. The extra money for the beach front room was well worth it. We had the best view from our balcony and enjoyed the sound of the ocean.

No soft drinks to buy onsite No water to buy onsite No coffee machine in rooms Terrible event in check out very early in the morning. All doors of the hotel are locked The security agent will scream at you when you try to open the door and you do not understand why is locked. He treat you as criminal trying to escape without paying. Although i explain that i want to bring the car next to hotel door before check out. By the way i already spoke a day before to receptionist and she told me that all is payed and i can leave at 5 am and just leave the keys on the reception desk. Terrible treatement from security agent. Otherwise the staff was nice. But they have to work on treating their clients with respect while preventing fraud.

Great location and nice hotel - strange rules
Nice location on the beach but disappointed that the bar closed at 7 and had to go up to the sister hotel for that bar and there as well to get towels for the beach (didn’t make sense for the beach hotel not to handle the towels).

Staff friendly. Nice and convenient to the beach and to Albufeira old town. Unfortunately when we were checking in we were told that the main pool was closed for renovation. Although this didn't spoil our holiday completely, as we were close to the beach anyway, I felt it would have been nice to been told this before arriving. One of the main reasons we booked this hotel was because it has a pool so as you can imagine our disappointment to hear it was closed. We spent some time around the closed pool to sunbathe but this was not relaxing as there were workers drilling and making lots of noise so we were unable to relax. It would have been nice to know that the pool was closed before arriving, and there was no mention of any reimbursements. Some money off our stay or some drinks at the bar would have been nice.

Dont be fooled and book else where
Upon arrival I was told by the somewhat rude person at the front desk that the pool was closed for 10 days for maintenance. This is the start of the busy tourist season wouldn’t you think the new tile work could have been done within the previous 2 months? Place is clean but very tired including ripped carpeting and many tile cracks in the washroom. I asked for ice and was told to go to the bar where I ran into rude person #2 who preceded to give 4 cubes in a plastic cup and told me me that they don’t have anymore ice, WHAT? I did get another plastic glass with 4 more cubes. 4 of the 6 people that I came in contact with over my 2 night stay were extremely rude and curt. This was our only experience like this on our 2 week trip in beautiful Portugal. It appears in their pictures that this is an ocean front property but don’t be fooled because it is not. I am at odds as to why there are many exceptional and wonderful reviews because this place is a 2 star at best. I would never return and would not recommend this property to anyone else.
