i had requested early check in as we were attending a wedding in the town- the staff were very obliging

the pool was super nice and we also enjoyed the ice cream that they had close to the bar

bar and reception staff were fantastic

beautiful pool area and pool bar to just sit and drink your morning coffee or to have a few drinks at night time

a bit too quiet for kids perhaps, but the elders certainly loved the peace and overall peace and quiet

house early check in was made possible very friendly staff (except for breakfast) very quite and sound

the upside is that they have an indoor heated pool, which is right next to the bar (always a bonus), so you can still enjoy a pool holiday at any time of the

the bar also closed at 7pm so again nowhere to go in the evenings unless we went out

incredibly big and with lots of space for a family with kids

villa was fantastic, very large and spacious, and well equipped

to make our experience unique and confortable as we were traveling with young kids - from early check in to a room upgrade

our router was down-so no wifi to call front desk

then the hotel restaurant, which was great, but as expected pricey, and the beachfront bar pirata, which had amazing pizza and great drinks overlooking the ocean, there were no other

many of the young staff were very inexperienced, the service in the restaurant and bar was hit and miss

beds were comfortable and wifi connection was very good

early check in was allowed as room was available

the second, and most important was a mix up with booking spa services for a birthday

staff could not book my preferred airport transfer taxi. casino hotel taxi very expensive.

be great to include the spa in the price but i really didnt mind paying the extra as it was so worth it and the hotel was

we asked for an extra bed for our kids, and it literally had springs coming off the mattress, mold, and on the head rest a screw

good pool and close to beach. we also got an early check in which was good.

we' ve loved the breakfast and also the hotel location.

parts of hotel could do with updating. bar and breakfast rooms dated. took my own kettle.

poolside bar wasn't so good.

the breakfast was plentiful with hot foods and the traditional european style

even accommodated an early check in

-excellent-spotless cleaned regularly fantastic club house location -stunning views from bar excellent breakfast staff-particularly pedro in reception and luis and daniel in shuttle bus -

private pool well worth spending the extra on

be a little bit cleaner (floor, corrosions of the flush button) we missed some things in the kitchen like a pan and a

villa - good size private pool quiet and relaxing but great location for other facilities like water park

we were allowed an early check in and late check out which worked perfectly with our flight (i assume it depends on

the breakfast was excellent

the breakfast and pool are unmatched to any 5 star property i have ever visited

from the hustle of albufeira, tucked away in the old town but within a 2-3 minute walk to all bars and restaurants, shops, the strip, and around a 5 minute walk to the beach

the pool area is stunning, complete with chaise lounges and inviting cabanas

can i say, everything on your door step and because our flight was so early when booking we asked for an early check in and hey presto we got an early check in

they could provide us early check in

not good for family's with kids

the rooftop terrace was superb too with a bar and jacuzzi

missed the roof top bar and jacuzzi, closed a day before we arrived but its stunning
