Ignore all the crap reviews This hotel is a great hotel in a great location yes it’s a bit dated but the air con excellent WiFi is excellent and got hot water every day it has a pool too. I cannot see what people would complain about. Fernando and his wife are lovely and man the reception all of the time the whole hotel is spotless. Breakfast is basic if you just like toast fresh fruit coffee then it’s fine but if you like the full English fry up just pop down the road there are plenty of choice in the bars restaurants. What makes this place is the location it’s near enough to enjoy the night life but far enough away to not let it disturb your sleep. Plenty of excellent restaurants to choose from all serving lovely food. Free parking at the top of the road. Note to those who hire a car check with your hire car company Portugal love toll roads in fair try don’t cost a lot but make sure your car is fitted with a transponder it will beep every time you go through the cameras it’s only cents and on pick up they should take a deposit and the toll final amount will be deducted from your deposit I hired from europcar which did have the trans fitted it made life so much easier if you don’t have on fitted in your car then you have only a set amount of hours to pay yes you can avoid them but the distance you need to travel to get round turn it doesn’t make sense in the extra fuel. Little train Is a must to do excellent place to get on off is at the top of the escalators they do take cards

“Entertaining hotel of decent quality, ideal for families!”

We went as a family of 3 (including a 9yr old) to Juniper and this was our 1st trip to Portugal and overall, we had a good time. The rooms are decent and cleaned daily although the shower are a bit tricky to use. The beds are large, though have rock hard mattresses. The food is of decent quality… more

We went as a family of 3 (including a 9yr old) to Juniper and this was our 1st trip to Portugal and overall, we had a good time. The rooms are decent and cleaned daily although the shower are a bit tricky to use. The beds are large, though have rock hard mattresses. The food is of decent quality for all 3 meals with a different daily theme for the evening one which could be better. I.e Indian night gives you 1 watery curry option available to all with little options to go with it I.e no naan choices so this could be better. However there is other food available as well! We were all inclusive so you get lots of choices of drinks for adults & children though only 1 lager choice which was a Portugese beer only which frustrated me. My daughter loved the slushie options as well as all the cake options throughout the day! The staff are friendly throughout the hotel whether it be restaurant staff or the pool assistants who do various activities daily for children & adults. The poolside has plenty of sunbeds so there wasn't a problem having these when required. Its also got about 5 really good waterslide's which are available as and when you want so the entertainment is really good! It's not a 5 star hotel though as been to better locations and there's not much outside of it without travelling to either the Old town or new town. But uber's everywhere can be accessed promptly and you can travel to places like ZooMarine (worth going 2) or Vilamoura where you can access boat trips such as the dolphins/caves one which is brilliant!

“Great for price and nightlife”

This hotel is a budget hotel but the room,bathroom and pool are fine didn't have breakfast. If you like peace and quiet forget but if you want somewhere close to nightlife this is great.Would definitely stay here again, on a hill so not for health issues.
