This is a beautiful hotel. Rooms are clean and spacious, with cracking views of the pool and sea. Balcony is large.
Staff all lovely. Special mention to Miguel at reception. Always smiling and very accommodating.
Location wise, you’re a 5min (or 100 odd steps down), from all the bars, restaurants etc.
All the shops and market stalls you need, and the beach is maybe 10 mins from the hotel. Close enough to enjoy, and far enough away to get a peaceful sleep at night.
The hotel doesn’t take stag or hen parties (which is a bonus), however there was the odd “group” of teenagers at the pool, but were quiet enough.
There is a wee shop outside the hotel front doors, (for essentials )and Lidl and Aldi are maybe a 10 minute walk away, for a much bigger variety.
We would definitely stay here again! And are pretty sad to be leaving today.

Stayed 7 nights from 7th to 14th July. Can’t find anything negative to say other than we wished the main bed was one bed instead of two singles pushed together but, hey, that’s hotels for you.
Location is great, 10 mins walk from the beach and old town though it is on a hill so be prepared for climbing steps. There is a shuttle to the old town of walking is not your thing.
Buffet breakfast was good, enjoyed it every day.
Staff were welcoming and great. Special mention for Joao who helped with our cases upon arrival, and Edison who warmly welcomed us to breakfast every day. Cheers guys.

This is a really nice quality hotel. It is based up hill from the old town so if you or a family member have mobility issues or a disability its worthwhile remembering this however if you are on the upper floors 3rd or above you will have some lovely sea views. Bar snack food is delicious during the day. Breakfast is varied and plenty of it.The Hotel run a free shuttle bus into town, details at reception, the staff are friendly and approachable and I would recommend a stay here.You do need to be up early to bag a sun bed if that's your thing. The BBQ on a Wednesday Night is a must. All you can eat food with local drinks ( wine and soft drinks) included. Thank you to all the staff. A special shout out to Paulo Junior and Ayrton who seemed always to be at work doing long hours and couldn't do enough for their customers with a smile on their face. Obrigado.

Staff on reception absolutely top notch when we arrived late and exhausted! Apartments are an excellent size, fantastic balcony and lovely surroundings. Only gripe is unsupervised and noisy children in the indoor pool and spa area, it’s dangerous when they are running around without adult supervision, I’d highly recommend adult only times for swimming in the indoor pool area and a strict rule of all children must be supervised at all times that is enforced.

We stayed here over the past week and had a nice experience overall, rooms were nice, hotel was nice, we had a fantastic view of Old Town and the sea which was a big plus, hotel drink prices were reasonable although one evening we ordered 2 portions of take away fries one night and wer charged €12 for skinny frozen mcdonalds fries which were slightly undercooked, not great, pool was nice, kids got the beds and we got the sofa bed, had a few rough nights of sleep as its quite hard, Wife and daughter used the sauna and had a lovely experience, had a games room for kids, indoor pool which was a nice option, upon arrival we were hit with a surprise tourist tax which we were not expecting, hate places that apply hidden charges, declare these charges at the beginning so we can see the real cost of staying in your establishment, our regular cleaner was nice and looked after us and made sure we had everything we needed in our room like toilet roll, fresh towels etc but on one morning we did have 2 different cleaners enter our room with no warning, scanned themselves in without knocking and then closed the door and walked away without communication which was very weird, seemed a bit suspicious behaviour. Hotel has a free shuttle bus which is handy for going to old town but last one back was 5.30pm so had to use those steep steps to get back in the evenings, free Wifi was a big plus for the kids, overall I would recommend 👍
