A lovely and quiet place to stay (in late March). Close to some excellent restaurants and a short walk to the beach. There are also places close by where you can hire e-bikes or tours and go kayaking or surfing. The room was a nice size and the bed was large and comfortable. We would highly recommend.

Love this place!! THE best hotel of my entire stay in Portugal. The staff, very welcoming, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They made sure my stay was very comfortable. The bed was heaven to sleep on and the bathroom was clean and had all the amenities I wanted. My balcony was room and relaxing. The hotel is beautiful, the pool is stunning and so clean. Plenty of sun beds and so comfortable. The restaurant and bar were superb. Morning breakfast had so much variety, it would be impossible not to find something to eat. The spa was relaxing and the hotel is next to the beach. Parking is out front of the hotel and it was easy to navigate around Albufeira. I would love to stay here again and will whenever I return to Portugal.
