    The rooms were a little tired and the tub wasn't draining properly. The couch and chair were not in great shape.

    The bar, restaurant and pool facilities were lovely. Staff were friendly and attentive. Walking proximity to the beach was great.

    Breakfast was continental very bland Didn't like how I was given the same apartment again would of loving something different. Distance from town was a very long walk . Prices in Albufeira have doubled since Sept 2022 so taxis was hard to keep paying for to get around . Only downfall No entertainment but no people there to entertain .

    I love how quiet these apartments were. Second time here , staff are so friendly. Pool area is so clean and safe ,place was empty I thought for May would of been a lot busier. Breakfast wasn't good value considering what you can get in cafes. Little gem of a hotel for peace and tranquility. Very well maintained ,apartments are excellent with really good air conditioning, spotless clean , maid service is excellent .Tv has all fox channels absolutely brilliant movies all the time. Internet hugely improved never dropped . Highly recommend for couples singles, not for kids absolutely nothing for them to do here. Pub has improved hugely, very friendly barman very cosy pub, always the latest match on. Needs a band or something different. Happy hour would be welcomed. Albufeira like everywhere prices are high , for our dinner every evening cost us 60 just for water each and two main courses, you can get burgers and wraps for cheaper I prefer a decent evening meal such as lamb chops potatoes . We went to oura beach lovely restaurants there Breakfast cost us in most places 10 euro compared to Sept they were 4.50 Very cheap cafes in the old town compared to Oura beach . Worth the trip. Beautiful place to go. We went to Olhas da Aqua found it doubled in prices too, beautiful food but cost same as Dublin .

    A great Villa, but very old and not justifying the price of 200 eur/night in April. The resort pool is not heated.

    Walking distance to the beach.

    The bar drinks very limited I wouldn't do all inclusive don't waste your money If you go to Olhos Da Aqua five minutes in a taxi it's a dream location Only downside is there's nothing within walking distance but don't let that put you off

    The pictures on the Internet doesn't do the apartments justice there so spacious and comfortable spotless clean and so quiet The bar just wasn't good unless u wanted to watch a match and have a game of snooker , drinks rubbish barman George is very friendly treated my mam so well Taxi to New Town old town only 5 euro its a long walk otherwise little bit far from everything but taxi is so cheap and don't let that put you off Lovely supermarket across the road sells everything incl coffee and pastries Overall excellent hotel excellent location for a peaceful holiday highly recommend

    The apartment was very hot (despite being only 27C outside, the air conditioning in the bedrooms and the ventilation). The refrigerator made a very loud noise for most of the night (it was switched prior to check-in so it took a good part of the night working continuously to get to temperature). WiFi didn't work and the alternate WiFi provided by the Hotel also didn't work. Downstairs occupants spent their night (until 4am) talking loudly on the patio... right below our bedroom.. Some of the beds made a startling amount of noise, during tossing and turning. An insect was found on one of the bed pillows.. The receipt provided has an inaccurate amount. Even considering the reasonable amount paid (121Eur for one night of 3 people), we were expecting a little better.

    The location is very good, close to the beach and near the lively center of Albufeira.
