    The toilette is old style and small. The walls are thin and they don't offer high quality soundproof, but fortunately the neighboors were quiet.

    Nice location. Super breakfast. The room was quiet and not hot at all despite the high temperatures.

    There was no electric kettle nor any arrangement in the room for tea/coffee as we are tea and coffee persons and it is a must item for many people, especially during travelling. The fridge could be bigger for some more food to store.

    First of all, I am highly satisfied that the hotel management through receptionist (Ms. Joanna) arranged us a last moment two bedroom suite which accommodated by family perfectly and quite comfortably. Rooms, bathroom and balcony were clean and the view of the ocean (Atlantic) and the beach from the balcony were simply amazing. However, an electric kettle and tea/coffee set up could have it perfect. Secondly, the breakfast set up is great. It almost covers everyone's need. Delicious and fresh including desserts. Lastly, the hotel location can't be better than this. It is just in the middle of the beach parallel sight from where one can pop into the magnificent beach and the pier easily within minutes. Restaurants and local shops are also only five minutes walk. Top class location. It was my 2nd time visit in this hotel and I have a feeling that it is the beginning.

    A bit dated ambience. The bathroom was clean but inferior in its ambience as as it was very bare, ie no tiles on the bathroom floor. But most negative aspect was that given the hotel’s drawbacks it is unjustifiably overpriced. Not good at all.

    Good clean hotel in an awesome location. The panoramic elevator was a special touch. Wonderful professional staff who do go the extra mile to help out their customers in their hour of need. Decent dining options offered.

    as we were at Algarve, some fresh orange juice would be nice, instead of the one they had.

    Breakfast was ok, however I missed to have a little bit more Portuguese style. I would get the same breakfast in England. The staff at breakfast was nice and attentive.

    Lack of irons. Every time I requested an iron, it was unavailable due to other guests not giving it back. Hotel needs to enforce a time limit and penalty charges for not returning the irons. Couldn’t wear my finest clothes.

    Great location, friendly staff, very comfortable and the location was right outside the strip and beach

    Simple hotel with everything one needs. Perfect for beach vacation. Good location in the more quiet part of the street. Some rooms have balcony with sea view. VERY friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast buffet style was good. We could easily extend our room one more night. Small parking right next to the hotel and plenty of parking within 5min walk in case the hotel parking is full. 2 min walk to best ice cream place in Algarve: Gelateria Sorbetto.

    Bathroom could have been a bit bigger as the room was quite big. The parking was a bit cramped, but who am I to moan as it was free parking.

    The location of the hotel is excellent. We had a room on the sixth floor overlooking the Praya da Rocha and the harbour entrance. From the spacious balcony one could see all the activities whilst sipping your gin and tonic! The room had more than enough space with a comfortable bed. The breakfast spread was quite good and the staff excellent. In our opinion a real value for money stay.

    we were a bit disappointed by the quality of breakfast

    Great location, clean room, friendly staff, opened to guest's needs like for example: we requested room on a higher floor and we got it, we wanted to prepare a tea in the evening and Receptionist prepared for us boiling water and cups - that was super nice.

    the only thing I didn’t like about the hotel was the shower it was really small but it did the job for me.

    it was really close to the beach and I had a nice view you didn’t have to go far and it was very peaceful. Also the casino was in front of the hotel so if you are gambler you will be lucky to stay there.
