Stayed here recently for 1 week with my husband. The hotel was very clean and staff were very helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good and there was a wide variety of both hot and cold food to choose from. The only negative thing was the pool....it was absolutely freezing. I have travelled extensively and have never been in a... more

We went to this hotel which we had seen and fancied on previous visits to Vilamoura. Whilst the booking in was somewhat slow we were more than happy when we finally got to our room on the 4th floor with views over the sea from our balcony. This position was particularly good during the course of the evening as we... more

On first impression, gorgeous hotel in beautiful location. This was marred by the surly receptionist. We couldnt get into room until 2pm so waited at the pool which is lovely, but not so plesant bar staff. The room was fantastic, wonderful view, and this alone would make me return. The buffet breakfast was huge and varied and the overall hotel... more

My friend and I went for a week and have to say that we didn't hear any noise from the Casino or from the beach disco.

The staff were ok but the pool area is awful and its very windy, everyday the parasols kept blowing over as they were not secured properly! My husband was hot in the face by one. We mentiond it to the hotel staff but they did not... more

Just returned from a week's stay at this hotel. Our room was brilliant, spacious and light, with fantastic views of the beach and pool. No complaints there! We had a roomy balcony with table and chairs aswell, which was a nice touch. Whilst the beds were great, I still didn't get a lot of sleep due to the noisy location.... more

Stayed here for ten days with hubby and 4 year old son. On first impression, reception area bright, airy and clean, lovely seating area. Checked in quickly and given room on 7th floor overlooking the casino (had read reviews about noise that can come from this) and we were not disappointed, disco went on all night, finished at 6am! With... more
