Just returned from a 4 night break at this hotel. First of all, the rooms are spotlessly clean, the staff are all very friendly and helpful and the views amazing. As other reviews state, this hotel is at the top end of the resort and therefore there is a bit of a climb involved and may not be any good... More

We have been in the hotel for 8 nights (18.05.-26.05.2013). We booked it from germany via Logitravel.de, included was the flight from Weeze to Faro, the hotel with breakfast and the flight back from Faro to Cologne. We had to book the transfer ourselves, but this was easily done through a travel agent. In the end, we paid 430€ for... More

I stayed here with a friend from 9th/16th of May in room 505. Having read reviews previously, I knew what to expect so the faulty electrics didn't come as a shock. No pun intended. They were falling off the wall & lost their spark a few times which was unnerving. I advise you stay on the 3rd/5th floor as these... More

I paid 12 GBP a night for this place in early May 2013, and it was an absolute bargain. The rooms are fine - nothing swanky, a little bit dated, but very clean and adequately furnished. The staff are delightful, it's a five minute walk to the beach and the old town, and there's decent sea views from most of... More

Very basic, but nice place to stay if ur on the budget. Room was clean, towels changed every day, bed sheets changed during the stay. Very close to the beach, although involves climbing on the way back. Quite distant from the strip, but there a busy street full of bars close. Staff was very nice and friendly. The only issue...

Stayed for two nights.overall is was fine. It's a 2star hotel and with the price we paid I can't complain. Ask for a room wit a sea view but on a higher floor to get a better view. Breakfast was adequate. Typical continental - tea,coffee,juice,choice of breads,cheese,fruit. You can eat outside and the views r beautiful. Rooms were basic but... More

Overall very good. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Very clean and spacious. The breakfast is okay. The only problem was the massive hill. We would stay here again and think for a 2 star it is worth the money u pay, the pool isn't great but there are so many nice beaches around we didn't find it a... More

It was a basic hotel up a hill with sea views ok for a short stay as it was near the harbour. A minus was only singles in each room and you need to ask for a sea view or you get the back end of the hotel looking at bins, sea view rooms had a balcony too so much... More
