Self catering apartment on the marina. Nice room twin beds "I prefer King" Well equipped kitchen. Low water pressure in the bathroom sink and did not drain well. Shower was tub with hi sides, but did have good water pressure. Family style location. Pool lounger all full or had towels placed by 10.00am, but this seems to be normal for Algarve hotels. Parking was free in a City Lot across fro the main entrance. High steps and ramps might make entering difficult for some, did not see any type of bell boy.

This 5 star hotel really provided the sparkle in Algarve! The room was spectacular, with a large balcony overlooking the ocean! The breakfast buffet was extravagant, and included champagne, fresh juices of all nature, and delicious meat, cheese and fruit options. Prompt elevators, good wifi, wonderful bathroom. Excellent Zodiac boat cave trips right down the street at the Marina. Many food options within two blocks including mini-mercados, and wine shops.

Awesome facilities- clean and modern. central to everywhere we wanted to visit. We did day trips all over the Algarve. Hosts went the extra mile with tips and were beyond helpful. Apartment was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need- from pots and pans to pool noodles! Perfect for a family- even one with younger children. Noticed there were loads of kids beach toys available too if you needed. We had a great stay- 10/10 would recommend!

We were 5 adults staying in the apartment and we had a lovely stay. The apartment was lovely, comfortable and perfectly located to visit Algarve. Since it was winter, we did not stay in the apartment much and were all out all day enjoying the region, so we cannot judge on the pool and surrounding beaches. Carlos was a lovely host, he was always available by phone, and left us wine, coffee, chocolate and cookies to welcome us. Definitely recommended.

This family-run boutique hotel was the perfect spot for exploring the Algarve region. We loved breakfast overlooking the amazing herb garden, coming home to a wonderful dinner most nights, and lounging by the beautiful pool between adventures to surrounding towns or the local Praia de Tamates. Best, though, was watching the local shepherds move their herds back and forth morning and evenning.

The apartment is huuuuge! I took the one bedroom apartment (sea-view) for 4 people and it was perfect! Bedroom, bathroom and living room are very spacious! We had breakfast at the balcony looking to the sea, it was very special! Also, the location is perfect! There are a looot of restaurants nearby and the area is very lively! Definitely, one of the best places to stay when visiting Algarve.

The location is quite good in Lagos and ok within the Algarve. Super clean, super comfortable room, spacious rooms amd comfortable bed. Choose the room with beach view for amazing view! The staff were amazing and hlped us a lot in the restaurants and tours booking. Breakfast is top and more than enough. The pool spacious and the parking outside of hotel is free and available

The hotel is newly renovated, very modern and clean, all white colored rooms. Location is great to drive from and see all Algarve attractions and specially the amazing beaches. The staff is amazing, very helpful and very friendly, special thanks to Jessica at the front desk and the manager for a wonderful service and recommendations. We simply loved everything.

The overall experience. The pool area is clean, nice private beach access. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Room was bright & clean. Breaskfeast is ok. You have plenty of choises. We were in Portugal, Algarve for 8 days. We booked 3 diffrent hotels, ranging from 3* to 5*. I must say, that Hotel Oriental gives indeed value for the mpney.

This is the best located, hippest, friendliest and best staffed hotel I've stayed at in quite some time. The breakfast was excellent. The bar in the evening was nice but the rooftop pool was easily the winning feature. The staff had fabulous recommendations for dinner all over the Algarve and great suggestions for day trips. Loved it!

Great Location!! The pool deck area has spectacular views of the Algarve coast. Great pool and access to some nice beaches. Very clean and well maintained. I was hesitant about reserving the hotel given some mixed reviews. It was my wife's favorite hotel for our entire Portugal vacation.

Awesome apartments. Perfectly clean, nice stuff, swimming pool, massages (reserve with time). It's really close to Praia da Falésia (Falésia Beach), the beach of Algarve in my opinion. If you are couple, a family or a group of friends looking for relax, this is your apartment. =D

Fantastic location - incredibly short walk to the best beach in the Algarve and only ten minutes walk into Lagos. Everything much closer than we expected. Nice pool and apartment kitted out with everything. Nice large patio and great BBQ.

An excellent hotel for a short visit to the Algarve region particularly Albufeira in Protugal. The Hotel is centrally located and also a nice swimming pool indoor/outdoor on the property. The beach is only a few blocks away.

The hotel itself was great! The location was perfect, although We were disappointed by Albufeira as a whole as it seemed like a bachelor/bachelorette party scene and not as family friendly as other places in the Algarve.

Super clean beautiful apartment near the beach and restaurants in the heart of Algarve. Exceptionally pleasant and accommodating hosts. Super clean and can fit up to 7 people easily. A big balcony was a bonus!

It's a big hotel, full of stairs everywhere (old building). It was packed with tourists from England (it's the Algarve, after all) and lines for the so so breakfast were long. A good place overall.

The location is very good, the hotel it self is very clean and nice, we didnt spend lot of time there, because the beaches is what brought us to algarve so..! But the hotel it self is super!

Amazing hotel with amazing staff! The online picture don’t do it justice. If your going to Algarve you simple must stay here

Beautiful hotel located on the beautiful Algarve beach.
