The staff were great, rooms were really nice and clean. Small things were not so great, like the pool would sometimes not be clean (although that could be because of the wind) and our en-suite coffee mugs were not replaced after we used them. All in all, really enjoyed our stay and would stay again happily.

Amazing Stay in Olhão

We had an amazing 3 night stay! The hotel was spotless and in a great location. The staff were welcoming and helpful, you could see they worked really hard to maintain the quality throughout the hotel! We used the rooftop pool/bar area everyday and had no problem getting a sun bed. Great facilities which were kept nice and tidy. A very relaxing environment to be in. The breakfast was delicious and had great options. We had a superior room, which was really spacious and had lots of storage and again spotless, lovely interior throughout. The perfect getaway, we would love to come back!

Well-positioned hotel with small rooftop pool and bar area in the centre of Olhao near the ferries to Ria Formosa (a must visit but you must be prepared for a long walk). Our room was the only available when we booked and the wardrobe space was inadequate. The lady on reception changed our room after one day but choice was limited as it was August. We will return out of the holiday season.

Relaxed, chilled & perfect few days away

Everything about this hotel was amazing from the moment we got there. Friendly staff, beautiful rooms, amazing roof top pool and bar. The whole vibe is very chilled. Only negative is they don’t have food at the pool bar on a Monday which we weren’t aware of and that was our only pool day so had to go out to get lunch. We did find a lovely place so didn’t make a huge difference.

Stunning Hotel and Staff

From the minute we arrived at the Hotel we were impressed. Stunning building, very Friendly staff from the Housekeeping, Reception and the Waiting on staff. Very clean, Breakfast choice was really varied and quality. The Pool was lovely and the best sun loungers we have ever lay on. The Food and drinks around the rooftop bar was also excellent and the Waiter service was a bonus. I will not hesitate in staying here again it was superb.

Having stayed here three years ago with my husband and enjoyed it very much I booked for my sister and I to stay. I paid extra for a balcony thinking I’d have a similar view as my husband and I had had, overlooking the city rooftops, but no! Our ‘view’ was of the next door building and scaffolding and overlooking the ‘inside garden’ which is basically the smoking area, rendering the balcony useless to us. We asked to change rooms the following morning to be told they were fully booked and it wasn’t possible. Disappointing as a returning customer. The staff are all lovely and the cleaners excellent. The rooftop pool is great if you can get a sunbed! There aren’t that many and it was often difficult especially as some people left towels on them then disappeared for three or four hours, shame on them. The rooftop bar is very nice too though the cocktails are pretty poor tbh and for some reason the sangria was never the same twice! The beer is cold and refreshing and there are some nice snacks or lunches to be had. Nothing would stop me returning though and I will be back though I’ll double check which view I’ll be getting next time 🙂

You won’t regret staying here! It’s super clean and relaxing. All staff is friendly and ready to help with any adventure you are trying to do. The pool areas has stunning views. The location is close enough to everything ( walking distance to water activities; restaurants; and bars) yet far enough away that it’s quiet at night and relaxing! Highly recommend.
