19/26-Apr-2024 - Spacious junior suite with sufficient chairs, spacious balcony from where the ocean was visible, proper breakfast, good public parking, quiet area, close to the ocean (15 min's walk) and surrounded by some waste land. Kitchenette equipped sufficiently (one big and one small cooking plate), allowing to cook a simple meal when tempted by the rich choice of meat and fresh fish in the bigger supermarkets. We can recommend the “big” Intermarché at Alvor which is easier accessible than the centre of Portimão. Our daughter of 13 liked the indoor swimming pool; The outside pool was a bit too cold in April.

Unfortunately an unpleasant smell was coming from somewhere behind the refrigerator (room 508). Was it an unclosed tube of the sewer system? With an outside day temperature of 25°C and the balcony door open it was bearable for a week's stay. The shower is located inside the bathtub as per standard of the previous millennium, which is not handy (but I understand that renovation is expensive), but the rest of the bathroom is spacious and beautifully decorated with marble and tiles ... and without unpleasant smells. Though the suite is well decorated and illuminated, the closet is a bit small, with too little clothes hangers. A few hooks on the wall could compensate for this.

super clean and in a good location. we also managed to book the Benagil cave tour with the hotel so that was one less stress. the breakfast was amazing. really good value and lots of things on offer. if you are eating in then the kitchen had everything, including pans. the beach was also ten mins away which is amazing. very pretty beach too and didn’t have too many people when we went. it’s a bit of a walk away from the centre of portimao but that wasn’t an issue for us - Ubers are super cheap in Portugal.

didn’t really get to use the jacuzzi or the pool as they were busy and weren’t big enough to accommodate more than a handful of people.

Breakfast exceeds expextations, there is everything you can think of, including healthy food. Balcon view was on the garden with birds and even a rabbit and a sea - perfect. Staff very friendly and willing to help. Room was spacious, we had a bath and a kitchen with all facilities to cook comfortably. Indoor pool is great for windy weather. You need a shower cap to use it, but staff can provide it. We enjoyed our stay fully, very beautiful place and perfect hotel!

maybe some furniture is a bit old, but it does not matter to me much.

Really positive things: breakfast selection, swimming pool area, helpful staff, size of room, free parking. Hotel itself is nice and worth of 4 stars, just as seen in the pictures that it's not the newest building, but otherwise totally worth it. Location is close to the beach and the city of Portimao.

Rooms are not very soundproof, so was waking up early in the morning, when somebody was moving or talking in the hallway.

The hotel is very cozy, well-maintained, has excellent silent location just in a few min from Praia do Vau and a few min from food stores and restaurants. The staff is very friendly and pleasant, the outdoor pool is clean and has a charming area, the indoor one with jacuzzi we didn’t check (the hats are required and if you don’t have one you may buy at the reception), the breakfasts are one of the best I have ever had in hotels (the food is very delicious and every day there are some small changes, therefore I didn’t get bored), moreover you may include dinners for an additional price or simply cook at your room which has a well-equipped kitchen and all the kitchenware you may need. One more thing that I liked is that the hotel provides guests with robes, which are very useful for the swimming pools and just for staying comfortable in the rooms.

Everything was absolutely wonderful! It was very pleasant and quiet hotel with a great outdoor area, that includes a pool. It is kids friendly and my daughter loved and enjoyed it there. The hotel rooms were nice and clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming towards us! Overly a fantastic place that I would fully recommend staying at!

We were a day late due to a cancelled flight but reception staff were easy to contact and stayed in touch with us throughout- Brilliant 24hr reception staff (they also helped us with an extra pillow and Landry service). The bar man Francisco was obviously a very experienced bar man and made delicious cocktails. Would highly recommended the pink gin fizz. The breakfast staff were very attentive and kept all the food fresh and well stocked. The property was clean and the kitchen meant we could have lunch on the balcony after a morning on the beach. Lastly the room was very comfortable - lovely big bed and temp could be controlled in the room so we slept well every night.

The breakfast and the dinner buffet were outstandig with superbe quality and very tasty food thanks to the chef Anna. Our junior suite was very spacious and functional. The balcony had a nice panaramic see view.

The building starts to become a little bit old. The rooms might need a little bit of refurbishing and all the towels were changed every day, which was not necessary. It is not eco-friendly.

Very generous room area with large terraces (we had two). Very well maintained pool. Exceptional cleanliness . Very good breakfast. The kitchenette is equipped with everything you need. Free street parking

An iron would have been very useful, even one that can be borrowed from the reception, not necessarily in every room. The bathroom, although generous in size, has a narrow tub and because of this the curtain always sticks to you when you shower. There is an inexpensive solution to fix the problem. The room, although generous in size, does not really have storage spaces for clothes.

We had a wonderful stay our room was beautiful as we were celebrating our Anniversary.

The music at night was not to our taste. The hotel was a little bit further out than we would have liked from the centre.
