From start to finish this has been our favourite holiday. Hotel is immaculate, staff are so helpful and friendly. Breakfast is just fantastic, great selection of food to suit everyone. You can also have breakfast outside by the pool. Pool and seating area are very nice. Bedroom has everything you need for a great nights sleep. Bed very comfy. Our bathroom had a bath which I love. Small balcony but enough to sit out and enjoy a drink at night.

Could do with more hangers in wardrobe. Only has one double socket in room. Sometimes our card would not open door, so we had to go to reception to reprogramme it again.

The staff was very helpful (specially when my wife was feeling sick - she had food poisoning). Daria was really funny, specially because she didn't know how to make a Caipirinha for my wife (maybe she needs a bit of training in how to make drinks). The location is very good, the hotel and rooms are clean and comfortable.

There was only 2 electric plugs away from the bed, so when we wanted to charge our mobiles and iPad, they had to stay on the floor away from the bed (room 105). The plugs should be near the bed or at least a small piece of furniture should be near the plugs so things are not on the floor while charging. The shower hasn't any soap dispenser/holder. I wasn't very happy when I discover that for a last minute reservation we could have stayed at the NH at the Marina for extra 20 €. At Alcaide we paid 575,21 € for 4 nights so I thought in the end, although a good experience, it was a bit overpriced.

Impeccably clean. Discrete and friendly staff. Modern spacious room with locally made toiletries. Simple but good breakfast. A really enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend :)

Rooms and hotel were spotlessly clean. Pool is a good size and never overly busy. Hotel is in a great location, close to beaches, restaurants, bars and bus stops. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. The staff are fabulous! Always so friendly and helpful and always cheerful. We’ve stayed here a couple of times and we’ll definitely come back again. Highly recommended!!

It would be nice if there were tea/coffee facilities in the room and the bar snacks could be a bit more reasonably priced, but couldn’t fault anything else.

Everything was great. The pool area was clean. Our room was on the first floor but still quiet and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is close to the beach and restaurants. The hotel staff are very friendly and kind! They held our bags for us after check out which was great.

After a long travel journey, our room wasn't ready at check-in time. The staff were very kind and apologetic but could have given us something (like one free breakfast or upgraded room) to make up for it.

We loved the hotel very clean bright room overlooking lots of trees.Gorgeous pool area.Staff very friendly and speak great English.Breakfast buffet really nice.Make sure you try the restaurant called patrimonriamona.Doesnt look appealing but the food is sensational and cheap and so are the beers in happy hour.Wouldnt rate any of the others.Only 300mtr walk to the beach under an under pass.Supermarket nearby.

Some restaurants around the area but very quiet compared to Praia Rocha etc.

Absolutely wonderful stay. The rooms are spotless. So clean and tidy. Breakfast was amazing, something for everyone. So close to an amazing beach and local restaurants. Swimming pool was so welcome after a long day out exploring. I can not fault it. The staff are so friendly and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Would highly recommend.

lovely pool, lovely staff & really nice room. perfect for a few days stay, enough space & nice fridge.

would be nice to have tea & coffee making facilities. not always enough loungers at the pool.

Beach and cliffs short walk away Really nice breakfast and breakfast area next to pool Nice pool and pool area Renovated common areas Road nearby looked bad on the map but caused no noise in my room

One thing to improve would be access to power sockets in room. There should be some socket available on either side of bed, even if it required using extension cords. While common areas were modern room seemed little bit dated. Bed mattress seemed uncomfortable at first, and it might be good idea to replace them, but I had no problem having good sleep. Slightly remote, but still short walk to restaurants, and there is bus stop just outside hotel, and Uber ride to city or main beach area is few euros.

Breakfast very basic, scrambled egg not to my liking, I couldn’t get the egg boiler to cook the egg right no matter how many mins I did it The equivalent to bacon, not nice Some days there wasn’t much left as it was busy but food not topped up Lunch menu, food wasn’t always available Overpriced food and drink, my opinion Went to Praia do Vau by taxi but walked back as it’s a nice stroll back to hotel

Pool water is freezing
