We were upgraded to a very spacious suite , which was unexpected and wonderful! The extensive breakfast buffet with fresh squeezed orange juice was a delicious way to start the day. The hotel provides a beautiful, serene setting for a relaxing beach vacation in a sleepy town.

The suite only has one AC unit that faces the sitting area so on hot days, the bedroom and the outer room with the sofa bed were quite warm. The ramp leading to the hot tub and sauna were very slippery - someone could easily fall there and get hurt.

Brand new renovation. Room was beautiful and very spacious. It was excellent for our family of four. We really enjoyed ourselves

There was no hair dryer but everything else was fabulous ❤️

The view from the room and restaurant was lovely. The staff were very pleasant.

The bathroom was unbelievably small. Difficult for one person and impossible for 2. The layout can easily be improved by using some of the space assigned to the huge built-in wardrobe. The furniture in the room is dated. The sound of work (hammering and drilling) being done on the upper floors was constant . You can hear every noise from all your neighbours, each side and above. The vegetarian options on the menu need to be addressed. Tomato soup and caprese salad for 6 days is not appealing, so we went out every evening. There were peculiar restrictions for pool towels (deposit needed) and indoor pool use, (booking and limited to a 2 hour slot )

Location Breakfast We got an upgrade to a suite

Bar area Location & service could be better

Breakfast is excellent, every food very tasty, natural and fresh orange juice and fresh exotic fruits. Hotel restaurant on the beech (UCA) is outstanding. Proximity of the beach is perfect. Great swimming pool. Lovely little treats on the room (doces algarvios) and Nespresso machine, were absolutely delicious and fresh.

Bathroom needs renovation and design. Noise from the corridor is very audible and a little annoying. There should be bar service on the restaurant balcony overlooking the pool. There should be bikes for rent.

Breakfast was varied and good, taken at a balcony with a view to the agreeable hotel gardens and the beach. The room had an all encompassing sea view. The beach was just in front of the hotel. There were also two pools, one for the children and another for adults. Our 4-years old son loved the Hotel Kids club

At the weekend, concerts organised by the local council taking place next to the hotel, disturbed our sleep.

It is right on the beach, the view was beautiful and at night the moonlight on the ocean was great. The breakfast buffet was nice although nothing special. The room was clean and they did a good job every day. We sent out laundry and it came back the same day, folded nice although it was a bit expensive. We did not use the pool, we went to the beaches in the area and sent one day on the beach by the hotel which was very nice. The little town is nice too, there are restaurants, and a little fair for the kids, a show, night market, its a very central location.

The elevators are very small, so you have to wait. The front desk people were not that helpful. The stand at the pool where there was supposed to be towels never had a person there to get new towels.

I liked the room, even though is a little bit outdated. The outdoors of the hotel and pool area. The staff was very friendly, specially with my 9 years old daughter. Breakfast is very diverse and very nice.

Cleanliness is not top-notch, inside the hotel and especially outside.

Visible signs of renovation work conducted, although manifesting to a different extent throughout a hotel. Excellent sea view dominating the scenary, free onsite parking. Surprisingly good breakfast with fresh orange juice and sparkling wine. Air conditioner working properly (even though it looked like a piece of aged plastic turning yellow due to its age), Nespresso coffee machine (looked new) and a fridge in the room.

The bathroom renovation was not deep enough, but rather cosmetic. The breakfast space was bit limited and therefore congested and required a waiting time to get sitted. The beach restaurant was charging ridiculous prices, almost 4 euro for 1.5 liter of water, the menu was bit ordinary same as the enthusiasm (or its lack) of emloyees was not convincing and turned us back.

Breakfast was good. Lots of variety however bacon and sausage can be of a better quality. Everything else was really good. Treat and wine ok first day which is a really nice touch and 2 hours use of indoor pool with steam room everyday with great relaxation area. Good food and lots of restaurants around the area as well. We had the most beautiful sea view room on 10th floor… worth paying extra

Bathrooms can be cleaned little better. Bacon and sausage quality can be improved. Need a car to visit other parts of Algarve - about 45 mins drive from main parts but altura is also lovely and relaxing although in a rural area of Algarve. Very close to Seville so you can drive there.
