6/10 Good

Rooms were old and in need of an update. Food quality was adequate. Stayed at several all inclusive hotels over the years and this hotel was on the lower end for food, amenities, and services. Location was walkable to beach and a close bolt/uber ride to old town albufeira. Would only recommend if looking for a low end all-inclusive hotel stay.

Lovely big room, pool area clean with plenty of loungers. Dining options were a little limited, even though all inclusive there were not always everything available. The indoor spa area was a real let down. We got upgraded which was a nice touch and the staff were excellent

Amazing hotel. Already 2nd time staying here. Front office team is amazing. They are very welcoming, friendly, professional. Huge thank you for such efforts to accommodate us in our room earlier. Room is huge, 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, balcony, spacius,clean. Amazing service from housekeeping keeping our room clean. Loved the amenities in bathroom with branded L'Occitane products. Restaurant is great, food is super delicious, big varieties of different dishes. Loved the services at restaurant, all the staff is super attentive. 2 pools, plenty of space to stay around even if the hotel is fully booked. Good food at the snack bar by the pool. Loved the 'juice of the day', of course cocktails. Spa is good, worth to visit. Overall our stay was amazing, coming vack next year.
