9.2/10 Wonderful! (186 reviews)
The room was very clean. The lighting was a bit dim in the room. The staff were all friendly and helpful, (apart from those in the spa.) The housekeeping staff in particular were great, very efficient and obliging. The bar was nice and I enjoyed the special cocktail of the month. The rooftop pool area is beautiful, though of course it would have been nice if the food and drink bar were not closed for the winter months. The hotels location is reasonably convenient for the beach and the main A22 motorway that leads from Spain to Faro and beyond. The TV was hard to use with a really annoying advert for Pr1me Energize every time it was switched on! The breakfast was a bit disappointing with very little choice if cereal or eggs. But all in all, I recommend this hotel. Thank you for a lovely stay!
