Pros - Hotel is in a great location, across path from beach, and a 10/15 min walk to the marina and the better restaurants and bars that can be found at the back of the marina. It’s a 30 min, 24 euro journey from airport for 4 passengers and 4 cases (45 euro for airport taxi). Sea view and Vilamoura room views are fantastic. The rooms were better than I anticipated, although not ultra modern they were decent with very comfortable beds, a great shower and plenty of storage. Housekeeping do an excellent job here. Pool area has lots of mature plants and has been designed well. Nice terrace for drinks thoughout day and evening. DJ one early evening and 2 male singers another, both were good. Two pool tables located inside at bar was good for keeping teenagers entertained. Friendly and helpful staff throughout. Cons - Guests start laying their towels to claim sunbeds from 7am. There are plenty sunbeds however those located around the pool are gone by about 830am. It’s beyond ridiculous with one guest reserving 11 sunbeds daily and not using until at least 11am. Staff occasionally go around with a clip board and note empty beds but I never once seen them removing a towel. There are too many parasols out of action and several beds that don’t adjust properly. New cushions would be good too. The bar and lobby needs attention from an interior designer. More money could be made at the bar if hotel invested in this. Although clean and spacious it’s very bland.

It’s a stretch to call this hotel 5 stars. It’s nice and the staff are very friendly but it’s outdated. The pool area is lovely. Service is friendly but terrible. You literally have to chase staff to get a drink or order lunch and they have an amazing ability to not make eye contact with you if you want something. They supposedly have pool area staff but again they had an amazing way of avoiding any service levels. Not enough to put me off returning but do not expect a 5 star hotel and be assured of 2 star service but great location and people are very friendly.
