“Convenient location”

Currently staying in this hotel as part of an easyJet package holiday/short break and was dreading it reading some of the reviews. Yes the room furniture is/looks dated but it's what you would find in a majority of Portuguese/Spanish hotels anyway so that doesn't concern me. Room size is adequate and equipped with a mini kitchen area including fridge and kettle so one can make drinks in your own room. Bathroom is also spacious and everything functions well. Pool area is large but like anywhere hot you get idiots reserving sunbeds at the crack of dawn which spoils it somewhat. I'm staying all inclusive and the drinks offering is large compared to some AI hotels I've stayed in before. Food so far seems perfectly edible but I tend to eat out local anyway of which there's a vast choice within a 15-20 minutes walk. Hotel seems to be kept clean and I've had no problems with the lighting in the hallways which some have commented on. (I'm on the 8th floor). Clientele is mixed ranging from families to hen and stag parties to groups of teenagers. I've had no instances of screaming drunk idiots shouting and banging about at night for the 2 nights I've been here so far but I've heard others talking about the disruption. If only the hotel would ban these groups then it would truly deserve it's 4 star rating but as it is I would say it's only a 3* hotel at best. Hotel is conveniently located about half way between the old and new towns of Albufeira

Just back from a week at this hotel. Rooms were spacious and clean inc kitchen with all utensils pots fridge, toaster , microwave ect. The maids came everyday except the last day. They make the beds, change toilet paper and towels and take away the rubbish. I don’t understand why you are left with no towels or toilet paper on the last day🤔, bit stupid of them to let you down at the last minute. Spar on site is quite expensive. The food and drinks at the pool bar are a rip off. €8.50 for a mojito, €13 for a kids pizza which was rotten, the chips were cat. €14 for a waffle with sauce and ice cream😂. You are not allowed bring your own snacks and drinks to the pool, well you can but you have to hide them from the pool security man. No pool balls allowed in the pool, very strange, can’t see how they would be dangerous. Floaties are allowed. My kids enjoyed the diving boards, the pool in general was good if you are lucky enough to be down early to reserve a blue comfortable sunbed, otherwise you are stuck with the uncomfortable white ones which are further back from the pool. Only saw 1 cockroach the whole week. It landed on the balcony ledge and we flicked it off, no fault of the hotel. The mozzies were lethal if you’re sitting out on the balcony at night. Bring your spray. The entertainment at night was fine. The reception staff were very helpful. They have their own drivers, €8 to old town, €14 to the Marina, €63 to Airport, €40 return to splash and slide. Overall for the hotel room in was good value. If you are someone who enjoys silence go somewhere else. This hotel is lively and loud which didn’t bother us, when you close the balcony rooms at night I couldn’t hear anything from outside.
