It was a clean spacious property in a great location. Walkable to the old town of Albufeira that has plenty of restaurants and shops. The patio gave us a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean and the sunrise each morning.

We loved our stay so much we extended it. Great location, perfect for our family (2 children). Close to everything while still being outside of the main strip and avoiding the noise from the night life. Will definitely be staying here again

We had a pleasant stay hotels was clean and comfortable good well equipped kitchen. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment with sea views right above the pool. Safe were friendly. Hotel is situated above the old town and on a steep hill. But taxis are cheap enough and very easy to get. We would return in the future

Great location, helpful staff. Rooms were extremely spacious. The smell of the water system was truly unpleasant. Not the quietest place especially when late night parties get back. But walkable to everything you’d need.
