Albufeira, Algarve

Ms H O'leary, London

Spacious apartments, great view, pleasant staff and room service - bed mattress a little hard.

Mrs L Colgan, Coventry

Lovely hotel, great location, wonderful pool, great view, lots of nice restaurants and bars close by. Close to lovely beach.

Mr G Waterhouse, London

We had a sea view one bedroom deluxe apartment on the 5th floor and it was huge. We had a massive balcony with awesome view of the Atlantic. It had everything you could need for a holiday stay. Yes the hotel is gradually being upgraded which is a good thing. However, our room was white and blue and pleasing on the eye nonetheless. The pool had been out of bounds but was gradually filling up again and could be used, although we chose not to as we preferred the beach which was on the doorstep. We didn't use any other of the hotel facilities either so can't comment. The apartment was cleaned and towels changed every other day and bed linen once a week unless required more often. The room safe cost cost 1.49 euros a day. Reception staff and maids were very friendly and obliging. The local supermarkets were slightly cheaper than the one on site but not that much between them all really. One thing - when talking to the receptionist on leaving we were told that if you want a really good sea view (if you've paid for one) they advise you requesting 3 floors anywhere from the 5th to 8th - so they can accommodate. Would have been good to know this when booking. We were lucky as I e-mailed the hotel direct to request a higher floor having read Trip Advisor reviews. All in all a really good holiday and pleasant stay. Would stay there again but then again when it is all refurbished it may be too expensive!

Mrs S Penny, Dursley

The pool was very nice, hotel rooms very nice too. Spa looked horrible and I certainly would not rate the hotel a 5 star, possibly a 4 star at a push.

Mrs L Jones, Wirral

The hotel is in a lovely location, pool lovely, food nice but accommodation is just awful! Couldn't wait to get out of there and back home.

Mr A Beesley, Lancaster

Nice hotel, all inclusive drinks very poor and food very plain and repetitive. The hotel is massive, clean and staff helpful and location very good.

Mr D Freeman, Waltham Cross

Rooms were tatty, 1 bar only in use, pool area needed a tidy up. Went there last year as time share owner but it has changed hands now and gone downhill.

Mrs J Bellyou, London

Location fantastic. Hotel in general is extremely nice if a little 'frayed' at the edges here and there. Quite a large layout but lovely surroundings. Pool area clean and the views are great. There are plenty of sunbeds and a good selection of them with umbrellas but some of the beds are a bit 'wobbly'. We were self catering so only used the restaurant a couple of times - there wasn't a great selection of food but what we had was quite nice. Rooms were cleaned every day with bedding and towels changed very 3 days or so. Domestic staff were very friendly. Reception staff were helpful.

Mr L Coleman, St. Helens

Very clean. New towels regularly. Excellent location, very helpful staff. Will definitely return!

Mr D Beeby, Leeds

Mrs J Rees, Cardiff

Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff, rooms clean and spacious.

Mr A Cochrane, Leeds

Fantastic position, great pool and fabulous sea views.

Mr S Mercer, Runcorn

We had lovely, well equipped one bed apartment, with full sea view. Bathroom fine, but modernisation update due. Beds looked new, with cotton clean mattress protectors. Micro/combo/oven which was very helpful. Some parts did need bit of attention. Lovely pool but some tatty bits on it, 2 slides in it too. Bar and food places looked good too, gardens lovely. Close for strip, few mins walk, but no noise from it. Old town walk, slow half hour stroll. Beach, well it's on the beach, bit of hill getting back up. Kids were bit of a pain, although I have 5 of my own, it's different when you're a quiet couple, and kids kicking balls at you, and running round corridors screaming and slamming doors, but that's parents to blame not hotel. No reserving of sunbeds, was totally ignored, and were all taken round pool with towels only for most of the day. Hence my little gripes, I would stay here again, for the apartment and the location.

Mr M Pawelczuk, Leicester

Great pool.
