An incredible honeymoon retreat.

The hotel is fantastic. Upon arrival, we were permitted to hold our bags until our room was available. They called us when so, and we were not disappointed! The room was spacious enough, with a generous sized bathroom and good facilities. The location of the hotel is fantastic, with loads of local cafés and restaurants within a 10 minute walk, as well as two supermarkets for essentials. The staff were also kind enough to provide us a map of local hotspots which served the best food in Olhão. The rooftop pool is perfect for relaxing, and room service is prompt. Cleaners also tidy your room for you daily if you need it, which came in extremely handy when we spent days out in the local area. We hugely recommend this place - it's perfect for a relaxing stay.

Olhao was such a nice surprise and a great base to explore the area. Doesn’t feel as touristy as Faro and the food options were amazing. Would recommend Pizza na Pedro - best Italian I have had in a long time. GNO if you want seafood and traditional Portuguese

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.
