This is a very nice resort just outside the main area of Albufeira (five minute drive or 15-20 minute walk). It is also close to the less commercial areas of Olhos d'Agua and Acoteias (10 minute drive). While the resort has a view of the ocean, to get to a beach requires a short drive or a bit of a walk (20-25 minutes), however, the beaches we visited were quite beautiful and worth the effort. The location and amenities will appeal to couples and families.
The rooms were spacious, well appointed and clean. Hard surface flooring, for us, added to the feeling of cleanliness, and the cleaning staff came in daily. The rooms have all the necessary amenities such as cooktop, oven microwave, dishwasher and clothes washer, as well as small countertop appliances.
The grounds are well maintained and attractive, and there is a pool with a restaurant and bar. The food in the restaurant is quite good, though a bit more expensive than some of the local restaurants and the food is generic rather than local in nature.
The staff were friendly and helpful and made an effort to ensure our stay was pleasant. This location was a good base for us to explore the Algarve area with day trips by car. There are also coach tours of the area available which can be arranged by the resort staff.
We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely go back.
