the reception staff couldn't do enough for us and the bar/snack bar staff were the same

nice size room! the staff allowed me to late check out.

rooms are very spacious with kitchen facilities and a lovely pool view from balcony

the gym needs a bit if tlc and food options and room service charges could be little less

this is a 5 star hotel i still felt the bar and snacks where over priced, especially if you had kids and stayed around the hotel all day

bar and restaurant prices are expensive

there are free time slots for the indoor spa pool which was incredible and a lovely little gym too

fantastic kids club

the wifi was intermittent, but other than that it was a great place to stay.

it s right on the strip and reading the reviews we booked pool view for the noise coming off the strip, we honestly didn t hear a thing

staff at the pool bar were not the happiest and the selection of food and drinks was a bare minimum and some times

the breakfast wasn't great and the side bar was very limited.

hotel and the staff are absolutely fantastic i couldn t be happier, from the room to the bar and the pool

i had to say something - a bar and snacks area with table and chairs and staff at the hotel pool would be

pool and pool area was spotless and well kept staff were excellent nothing was any trouble

has everything you need, spa treatments, indoor and outdoor pool, restaurant, gym, huge lobby area

the reception was helpful when asking about the laundry (5€)

the aparments are really big, with a kitchen and with 2 large balconies

breakfast was

nothing like the pictures, as was the self service bar and indoor pool, tennis court and mini golf

huge outdoor pool with plenty of sunbeds

fitness room very small overal spa and gym are not very good

room at the reception for free luggage storage, free wifi, very good breakfast, swimming pool in the garden

the bar was difficult to find

i had a great spa experience

tradicional hotel with amazing views, friendly staff and a wonderful breakfast

around the hotel grounds were just amazing, ,,breakfast had everything you could possibly want in a beautiful setting inside tables or outside ,a

hotel could be more kids or youth friendly, it was more for older couples, with quiet jazz music in the evening or two

excellent breakfast, we were spoiled for choice

if you stay up late then this is a great location but if you need sleep or have kids it’s worth it to stay further from the restaurants and bars

rooftop bar excellent, bar & restaurant downstairs also excellent, plenty of friendly staff, never waiting

sarah at reception is exceptionally helpful and anna who works at the roof top bar is astounding

not good for family's with kids

it was clean,beds and pillows very comfy, rooftop bar was lovely

kitchen with very good quality pans etc -twice a day housekeeping -spacious and well equipped gym -very child-friendly or safe, you can see that the -architect or designer carefully thought of

excellent facilities - football academy, tennis academy, driving range and gym.

outdated villa dusty kitchen poorly maintained villa first 2 minutes, brown water ran in every tap in the

a lot of options for kids - entertainment, pools, babysitting

the breakfast is super good

spa is very basic.

breakfast, wonderful staff, great location, stunning pool, bed, bar, balcony and views

pool area, breakfast and facilities were all delightful

from the interior design, the swimming pool and the unique drawing rooms located around the hotel

marina in albuffeira , it was one of the highlights of our trip, apart from the hotel, the main pool outside the hotel is heated and feels like you are getting into a bath , so relaxing

excellent for kids, enough of pools but i stayed at the kids side to be fair, a bigger colder pool but never busy

i loved the size of the facility and it was a bonus having a gym and spa available

excellent spa and treatments

, 3 pools to choose from and an indoor pool in the spa

believe that the hotel provided a shuttle service to the town center (albufeira)

small spa zone but while it was not busy we enjoyed it

very loud, drank a lot and swore a lot (this was especially bothersome at dinner and around the pool)

with all inclusive, you have to pay to use the indoor pool and spa area

there s also a mini market 7 min walk away

wifi without protection

the buffet breakfast was best i have ever seen and the food was excellent

always smiling and helpful even with the lil kids i had

hotels i have stayed in and i have stayed in a lot of 5 staff hotels all over the world, from the breakfast to the dinner it was excellent

amazing gym

it was advertised online as adults only yet there were kids there

the food, whether it was breakfast, room service, snacks by the pool or dinner was of excellent quality

pool and spa facilities were excellent

throughout the hotel, from breakfast to pool to evening bar

spa area

excellent hotel but a little out of the way for socialising and playing golf

side and short walk to the supermarket and walking distance from portuguese pastelaria and snack bar and walking distance from portuguese restaurant

we got room with the view to the swimming pools, it was very spacious and clean

netting on the trampoline is ripped, dangerous for young kids who could fall out

didn t like that the kids pool was cold don t like no kettle in the rooms

no iron in the room but room service were very quick sending an iron to the room

the spa facilities were okay

central location, breakfast was lovely loads of options

we enjoyed using the gym, steam room and sauna

dated bathroom and kitchen area. near golf not marina but we had car.

the pool area the bar and staff chips and cocktails were the best we had on our trip

think the bills from the bar should be paid all together and not in separate ways

nice apartment friendly staff excellent budget breakfast

kids loved the games room too

the breakfast had numerous options, all delicious and fresh

stly golfers, as usual), so do aim for a higher floor if that might bother you

breakfast was delicious

the family room was outdated. the air conditioning in the kids room did not work.

room service was great, we found the staff very helpful and nice

the gym and mini golf were also excellent

the weather was not good and there was plenty of space in the bar area to chill out

the buffet evening meal - worse meal i ve had in a ages - served by kids who didnt want to be working - terrible service - terrible food

golf course was located via gate close to the entrance of the hotel

the hotel pool was big and clean

pool not suitable for kids, only small area where they could stand

the staff from the reception, cleaners and bar have all been very friendly and helpful

the pool area wasn't tidy the broken loungers are laying there.
