Lovely hotel a stones throw from the beach, staff are all pleasant ..food is nice except for the pasta.. situated on the main promenade with easy access to the shops and bars.. I would highly recommend this hotel

It’s a nice hotel, very modern and a huge room with sofa too. The shower room is big and modern. We had a side sea view with a grim out look over neighbouring buildings. So get a sea view room. Pool is ok but sun beds are packed in. Beautiful beach opposite. There are bars and restaurants along the front to Vilamoura which is a 35 minute stroll away. It’s really in a town as opposed to a resort like Vilamoura but we came to be closer to the airport after being in Lagos and Alvor which is farther away for a 9am flight. All in all it was nice and relaxing after a frantic week elsewhere.
Staff were friendly and reception staff ok although one girl was a bit stern.

A great place to stay! The hotel is a perfect place if you don´t want to run with the crowd like in Albufeira for instance. Friendly service and a tasty breakfast. The best of it: it´s just across the sandy beaches of the Atlantic ocean.

Our 2nd stay here and we loved it again. The location is excellent and is the main attraction really. We got a very good rate on the room this time too via Agoda. Other pros; it's very clean and modern throughout, the bar terrace is a great spot to watch the sunset, the bar staff are very friendly (they also make the best Pina Colada), the beds were firm and really comfortable, breakfast was great with plenty of options. Some cons; the standard rooms are a bit small, the pool area is also a bit small and can get busy quickly, the front desk staff were a bit stand offish and unfortunately for them they have a temporary desk as there are works going on which felt a little impractical.
Tips; get an Uber to / from Faro airport (only €16-25), the indian restaurant next door is really good, walk up to Vilamoura marina on a nice sunny day (only ~30 minutes and flat).

Stayed at this beach hotel 4 times (12 weeks total) it’s one of only 2 hotels I would stay long term in this area. Rooms are clean, maybe a bit small for some. Passing at the bottom of the beds can be tight. Showers are great, very clean rooms.
Location is great. Aim for a high balcony room, you can watch beautiful sunsets over the water. Hotel opens out onto the esplanade, tiles, so no roads to cross. Staff can’t do enough for you. Breakfast is buffet and substantial. Internet can be intermittent but WiFi covers the hotel.
