Plenty of good but not perfect
The hotel was in a perfect spot for us, two middle age gents over for the weekend playing some golf. Close enough to the old town craziness for a drink and some food but not on your doorstep. It is also in the perfect spot to pick up the main road and get to the courses. We never waited more than 2min for an Uber. The hotel itself was clean and the breakfast buffet served its purpose. We had the suite room, and for two, it was ridiculously spacious. Only slight gripe with the room was the lighting as it was quite time and only lamps for the bedroom/living room. Other than that I’d say better than a Premier Inn not as nice as Marriott. Now for the cons on our stay. - Steam room was out of service usually not a problem but given it was raining on the Saturday of our stay we did want to make full use of the facilities. - You had to buy and wear a swimming cap to use the indoor pool, I feel if this is a rule it should be stated upfront on the hotels facility listings. - The boiler had broken in the hotel so there was no hot water from 1-4pm during our trip. This was a bit of a pain when I used the gym at lunch and then had to have an ice shower. - Finally there isn’t a single iron in the hotel and for me that’s not good enough for a location with a 4* status. That said the staff were great and did get my few bit ironed in a 4-5hrs turn around granted for a fee. Overall though I would definitely stay again and use as a base for any Algarve golfing trip.

This is not a 4 star hotel. The amenities are in good shape but the rooms are very outdated. For the safety box they charge a fee per day and for the indoor pool you need to wear a head cap which also they sell. The AC does not work, it just throws air but not cold air. We reported this issue and they did not fix it.

The front desk staff was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel room was very dated and the primary AC stopped working late at night. Other than that, it was a lovely overnight stay.

Pillows are getting old and smelly, bedsheets are thinning out, could use some new bedding. A group of young guys came in drunk at 2:30 am and were running and making noise in hallway and on balconies till 4:30 am. Complained to front desk, they would take care of it and same problem again the following night. It seems the hotel was okay with that. I stayed there last year and liked my stay enough to come again, but next year I won’t stay there anymore. The breakfast is good, the location is good.
