Reviews and Ratings
As a couple traveling, we had to pull the beds together to sleep close to each other as the rooms have 2 single beds put together. The rooms were well appointed and clean, but not soundproof, allowing corridor noises to disturb us. The hotel staff were extremely attentive and helpful at all times, except for the room service personnel who weren't as friendly. The location, while close to beautiful Algarve beaches and the Portimao Circuit, lacked the quality of a Pestana hotel and showed signs of wear and tear. The dining experience was below expectations, resembling a basic supermarket selection, despite the cleanliness and good room amenities. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel has only one dining option, a buffet for €25 plus drinks, and rooms come with balconies and separate toilets and bathrooms with showers. The service is good, but there could be improvements in attending to guests. The location is beginning to show wear and tear but offers secure parking. The dining experience is below expectations, resembling a bulk food purchase at Lidl.
The hotel had modern and clean rooms, but the soundproofing was not great. The service was top-notch, especially at reception, although too eager to clear plates. The location, while friendly, showed signs of wear and tear and was under construction. The dining experience was lacking in quality. Overall, a mix of positive and negative aspects.
