This is an older hotel, but I really enjoyed my stay. The staff provided great hospitality and were knowledgeable about the area with great suggestions. The building needs new carpet, or better yet, new non-carpeted floors. It would also be nice to have slippers. Bed was comfy and view was beautiful. Breakfast buffet and environment were nice too. Pool area was clean and enjoyable, as was the poolside lunch/snack area. And the location is one of the best in Olhao, overlooking Rio Formosa! This hotel is due for a renovation, but the vibe is so good that it makes up for it. I would stay here again.
