Hotel was nice and clean but the beds felt like they where made of concrete the food was the same every night. Some weird meat in a stew chips and a variety of fish not much choice expected a little better for the money paid. Tended to cater for none English.

It was a wonderful experience staying there. Receptionist Fred, room cleaning Isabelle, restaurant Staff Rafael, Gulfam, Joelma, Bar staff Aakash, Ines, David, Iuri, Jagdeep, Kaldeep, Amarinder, Sub Chef Alves and Sabi were customer friendly and helpful. F&B manager was very rude and arrogant Not fit for the position and hospitality industry along with a Bar staff Ana.

Absolutely fantastic hotel, the room is lovely we got given a free upgrade so have a pool view. The food choice and quality is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Unfortunately the second half of our trip was very noisy and disruptive due to hordes of under 14's staying for a football competition, they were noisy and every evening till nearly midnight were running around the corridors and banging on doors.

We went on a family holiday, lovely big rooms and balcony, not much entertainment apart from half an hour children's entertainment in evening, one small shop on site, there's a supermarket about 10-15 minute walk away, we walked into Alvor and it took us about 20 minutes (you can get a taxi but we wanted to walk) there's a free bus daily that takes you to the beach, would go back there. Food, drink staff were great.

We are here at the moment, having been here previously more than twice a year and been happy with the room we were allocated, but not this time. I feel we were given one of the smallest rooms available, when asked to change was told fully booked. I know that is not true as I was very observant of available empty rooms during our stay.The room was very dingy and dark and dissapointing, we are used to better.Having said that it was nice to see some of the same staff still there . They were so friendly to us and the food was always lovely, but not always hot. The kebabs are to die for.The cleanliness is so good here cannot fault anything at all apart from our room. My husband is disabled and would like to see walk in showers in some of the rooms.

By my opinion and my family that place is not 5 star hotel. It's more like apartments to rent because in every room you have a kitchen to cook. We were on all-inclusive holidays and we have to pay or buy a water bottle in the hotel. My kids (14 & 10) had sleeping beds in kitchen one of them was pull out of the another not to ease too doing. The bedroom was claustrophobic with two single beds for us. The bathroom has a bathtub with a fabric curtain. Towels clean. A small pool with towels paid with a deposit (it was cheaper to buy them in the store and have them on your own). Food in the buffet is tasty and fresh. Outside of meal hours bad access to drinks that were served only in plastic cups, which you had to clean up yourself, especially from the pool area. (the pool bar was closed) Compared to other places marked with 5 stars, this place is well below 4 stars. If I were to return there as a guest, it would only be to rent a room with a kitchen, never as an all-inclusive room.

Asit Mishra

I was really impressed by the customer service provided by the hotel. Anabelle from the management team helped us as soon we reported some issues with the room. But it's not a 5 star hotel and is around 3 stars with all inclusive options. Because of its proximity to the other MGM hotels, atleast you get a lot of options for using different facilities. We had a pleasant stay!

Came here with my family in August 24. On arrival we had to wait a while because rooms weren’t ready and we arrived ahead of schedule time. Bit of confusion as cleaning staff had the room ready at 1pm but we didn’t get told it was ready till 2pm and we were very tired and just wanted a wash. Had breakfast only which was great and lots of choice for breakfast. Can’t comment on any other food. Although the coffee machine the coffee was very sweet and didn’t taste great. The room we had a very small view of the sea. Inside there is plenty of room for a third bed but for some reason they have made it into a mattress on the sofa type of thing which wasn’t very comfortable at all. The AC in room kept going off all night so you had to wake up to manually turn this off. Reported to reception they didn’t do anything about it. Upon getting into the room initially, there was still hair in the shower on the wall from previous persons. Room has a kitchen fridge etc which is good. Location for hotel is good for main strip and plenty of food places. You have to pay a tourist tax of €10 when arriving and a €100 deposit for any damage to rooms. I think personally this is a 3 star hotel not a 5 star. The rooms and hotel are dated. Cleaning staff clean every two days each room which I think was a joke considering there was 3 of us in the room and mess can quickly gather. I’m used to having rooms cleaned everyday if needed. The pool was great and sunbeds outside good. It’s good you get access to the other hotels for gym and sauna. Overall good stay; reception staff are really friendly and helpful mainly the manager Anabella. Overall wouldn’t stay here again

Hotel Muthu Forte Da Oura Hotel: We stayed here for a lads week holiday, so four of us in one apartment. Unfortunately, our room was behind the poolside ones, so there were no great views for us. Someone has to get these, I guess. Think it was OK for us as we were out most of the day. We soaked up the beautiful hot sunshine while 13.00, then we were out down the main strip for the day/night. We never tried the food here. It did look a bit basic tho, burgers seemed the most popular item! The location of the hotel was good, near the main strip & beach. Rooms appeared a bit dated & good enough for us, I would spend a week here with the family, tho I'd pay the extra cost for a proper 5 star, I think. All in all, it was acceptable for groups, male and female, families I would look for something better,

Tara Coulter

A lovely, family friendly hotel. Made even better by the fact you can use the facilities of all the other hotels they have in the area too.

Ciara O'mahony

Hello, we arrived today, a family of four 2 adults 2 kids aged 3 and 6 years. Reception was an absolute disgrace. The tall thin grey guy does not want to be here at all, not smiled once. No interaction whatsoever, after travelling with very excited kids you would think a smile at least wouldn't go far. The bar had none of the cocktails on the menu and all wine was hotels which was simply red or white ( do NOT recommend the white). It had said there are 14 restaurants there is only 1. Also only one bar when online said there were many more. This hotel/apartments said it was kid friendly where the tall grey guy said it is NOT a kid friendly hotel, I asked could we change hotels but pay for our first night he said sorry it's non refundable! It also offers many outdoor pools there is only 1. We felt really stuck so had to walk into town. Don't be fooled by what they try and sell it's my second time been fooled by MGM hotels. They say because its not peak season this is fair. Feel like we let the kids down, all they wanted were other kids and kids entertainment. None of which are supplied don't make the mistake we did as they are non refundable..

This was a very nice hotel with sea views from balcony our forth floor room 416. Room was a delight, good sized rooms with loads of space and storage. Lounge was big with sofa, TV, table and chairs. Adjoining kitchen with dishwasher, cooker, toaster, fridge, freezer and kettle. Not much complimentary tea or coffee though. Bedroom was big with king size bed ( 2 doubles joined ) too much activity means falling down middle. Bedroom was OK but needed some TLC, old shower bath combination needed modernising. Hotel was tidy and clean with indoor pool, gym, spa and restaurant. Lovely outside pool area. Very close to beach and stunning views. Sometimes other guests can be noisy, especially in corridor. All in all though a lovely hotel to stay at.

Vic P

We stayed in the 1 bed apartment with a kitchenette . Fairly equipped but more could be done. Room a little tired but clean and comfortable The seaview from the balcony in the bedroom and lounge was to die for ❤️ Very convenient location, staff were superb ! Lovely Restaurants nearby Would happily come again.

Visited early November 2024: Excellent location, just 30mins walk along the beach to Albufeira Town which includes a few nice refreshment stops along the way. The other way, there is a nice walk along the beach which also was very quiet, due to the time of year. The hotel has the end of the beach, which was very quiet when we visited. The outside pool is quite large but we didn't choose to use it as every morning the bathing seagulls filled the pool with feathers, of which the staff did clear out every day, besides having access to the sea was much more desirable. The indoor pool was an adventure to find, for some reason the signs in the hotel are not correct. The rooms are semi-modern and ours on the third floor was in need of a bit of a revamp. There is next to no soundproofing so expect to be woken up by late night party goes, non the less the bed was very comfortable and we were able to drift back to sleep. All in all, very good base to get around a few places and leasurely walks to town. There is a party strip up there road from the hotel so expect it to be busy during peak seasons. The staff were excellent, very attentive and helpful. The male attendant at breakfast in the morning made an effort to welcome us and say "good morning". Breakfast was a standard affair, full English seemed to be the most popular but there was a good selection of fresh fruit.

Im not even sure where to start, first of all construction is all over the place, i paid £450 for 3 nights at this hotel which i already thought was very steep but love holidays wouldnt let us cancel, The hotel restaurant and bars are all closed except for one that opens at 3pm which had around 5 people in everytime i passed, while they played youtube video’s in as entertainment. You arnt allowed to take drinks to your rooms so we had a grand total of 5 all inclusive drinks the entire time and ended up buying our own alcohol for the room. Our room was across the street from the hotel just outside the pool on the ground floor which was not great for the constant construction staff passing and making all sorts of noise and having awkward eye contact, not the mention the random people including a creepy man that walked and stood at our gate staring into our room smiling which made me not go back onto the balcony out of fear of his return as we were only 2 young girls in our 20’s travelling alone. For all inclusive dinner you must walk to another hotel 10 minutes away, they also offer for you to book in these “restaurants” in advance, to which we did that turned out to be just gazebos and we were told to sit in any one which we were then ignored for 15 minutes until we decided to just leave and order takeaway to our hotel, the only other people there were a drunk woman using the gazebo we went to as a smoking area while shouting and swearing to her friends in another gazebo. We were told there is a bar at the other hotel we can use to which we were also told was closed once we got there. Maybe it was just because it was out of season but there wasnt a single person at both hotels pools since there were no bars open and cant leave the bars with drinks. Check in isnt until 5pm and check out is at 10am, and you must pay extra to use the gym or sauna. The food was very lovely and the staff were polite. And the do not accept stag or hen parties and will turn you away, i only mention this as i hadnt seen it anywhere stated before i got the rules and i feel it would be unfair for someone to book with them not knowing this. There is no sky bar or barefoot bar or pool bar as advertised, the only time i actually enjoyed myself was when we got a bolt out into old town and drank there, so please dont waste your money on all inclusive.

Almarie Ibouanga

Yall just lost yourself a customer. Food was terrible if u enjoy bland boring food this is the place for you. Everything in the buffet tasted horrible. Everything is also very far apart from the rooms. You will have to walk pretty far to get anywhere. Elevator don’t work and if u have a big luggage prepare. Some staff were really nice but I noticed what I assumed was the manager of the buffet treated really poorly his employees. Rooms aren’t safe since we found mold in the air conditioner and uncleaned sheets.

Tasha Uphill

Room was pretty good and clean , however the pictures when booking showed something completely different to what we actually got . When booking they also didn’t mention nothing was open and no entertainment. When booking all inclusive I do not expect to be kept in a certain area where I can drink . I expect to be able to go wherever I want with my drink , particularly around the pool or my room . It was such a long walk down to get a drink . Every other restaurant was closed even though the booking said enjoy up to 25 different foods . It also says snacks and food all day , you will never go hungry . But they had a tiny area next to the bar with a couple of sandwiches and cakes only available after 3pm . The bar at the reception is also not free , so you go to an all inclusive but still have to pay for a drink . Shame as the location is ideal and the room was good with a stunning view .

Jason Nicholl

Excellent location near beach and town. Staff are very friendly polite and professional. Check in was quick and easy. The rooms are lovely and clean, comfortable beds, clean bathroom plenty of hot water, nice balcony with a sea view. The hotel is big and has multiple restaurants for all tastes and lots of seating areas in the very well kept gardens. The restaurants are clean with plenty of places to sit, good choice of food and all very nice. The bar has a good selection of drinks from the all inclusive menu and again plenty of places to sit inside and out with a sea view. I would highly recommend this hotel. Sorry if I have missed something but we'll definitely go back.

Kieran Lyons

The room we were in was relatively comfortable. But damp, ventilation was poor as there was condensation on the doors and windows in the morning. The beds were extremely soft but the kids didn’t mind that so much. The pull out sofa was the most uncomfortable place I’ve slept since I left the army. I did ask for the sofa bed to be looked at and in fairness to the staff they did look at it and slightly fix the position of the trundle so that it was at least level with the rest of the sofa, mostly. The springs however gave the most issue and the mat provided as a cover did little to alleviate gentle night long poke in the ribs. The room facilities were workable, 2 bathrooms for a family of 5 is better than most hotels. The “hot” water left a lot to be desired, as did the water pressure. The toilets were constantly leaking into the bowl. There plates and cutlery provided in the rooms which made preparing the odd sandwich or breakfast cereal useful (in a mug as there were no bowls). The fridge could do with a good clean both inside and out as it is showing its age/useage level. The rest of the room was ok, although like the fridge is showing its age and could do with a refresh. The hotel itself could probably do with a similar refresh as it is a bit dated, flaky paint and chipped furniture etc. The breakfast in Jac’s was ok, pretty standard breakfast buffet. We don’t eat in any of the other restaurants on site as it’s still early in the season and not everything was fully open. The only time we tried to use the pool tables they didn’t work and there was no staff nearby to look at it. The old town is about 20 minutes away by tourist bus/train and is full of nice restaurants so we mostly ate there, there is a really nice walk along the coast which the kids and I enjoyed and would take maybe 2 hours of walking and the occasional stop in a beach bar. The strip is quite close so there a lot of bars and restaurants nearby. The hotel is very close to the beach which was brilliant, but the room had no sweeping brush so coming back from the beach would leave the room very sandy between the 5 of us no matter how much we tried to get off before entering. There don’t seem to many truly private balconies in the hotel, due to the type of room we had, we didn’t have a balcony at all but we did have a table and chairs directly in the shared concourse which didn’t make staying out for a glass of wine with my wife very enjoyable as it was like sitting in a train station at times with everyone else going to and from their rooms. Overall we loved the location of the hotel but found the facilities to be dated and need of minor repairs/replacement. It was as I expected for the price point in the area.

Flavia Desa

This Hotel is placed on the prime location. You wake up to the magnificent views of the beach and sleep to the soothing sound of the waves. Loved this convenience soo much on our vacation there. The hotel staff are very helpful though some of the staff at the reception can maybe put on a smile while giving you the instructions. The rooms are decent a mid 1980’s vibe. But the grounds of the hotel are very nice,clean and well maintained. Loved it and will definitely recommend booking this ,if beach is the reason you are visiting ✨

Emma Duffy

Highly recommend this hotel. I'm here this week for my 40th birthday and they couldn't have been more accommodating. We stayed in Block K which has a lovely sea view. It is a bit of a walk from reception but there is access gates all over. When we arrived we were given a room in block E which didn't have the view we had booked and Iris from reception changed the room straight away without hesitation. Then she gave us a bottle of wine for any inconvenience which was really nice of her. They rang me today and said Happy birthday and gave another bottle of wine as a birthday gift. There is bars and restaurants all over the hotel and entertained in the Ocean bar in the evenings. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend 😁

A Comedy of Errors – Stay at Your Own Risk! From the moment we checked in, it was clear this would be an adventure. First, we were assigned a room that smelled like a 1980s smoking lounge. In an attempt to make amends, the hotel “upgraded” us to room 407—where things somehow got worse. Thanks to torrential rain, water began enthusiastically pouring from the ceiling directly into the kitchen. If you’ve ever wanted a live demonstration of why electricity and water don’t mix, this was it. Cooking became an impossibility, and the resulting aroma? A unique blend of damp despair and mildew. When I reported the issue, a maintenance worker assured me it would be fixed. Two days later, the leak was still going strong, and when I pressed for an update, a staff member shrugged it off, blaming the rain. Because apparently, stopping leaks is too much to ask of a building designed to keep water out. Beyond the impromptu indoor water feature, the hotel had the charm of a forgotten antique shop. The furniture was ancient, the flooring was uneven, and the tiles looked like they’d been through several earthquakes. If you enjoy playing “will the ceiling collapse on me today?” or appreciate hotels with an abstract approach to guest comfort, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I’d strongly suggest booking literally anywhere else.

Christine Marshall

First time visitors to Albufeira- family of four with 2 grown sons. 2 bed apartment was brilliant - everyone has their own spaces. Hotel is brilliantly situated- supermarket next door - 10 min walk to Strip if you want but plenty on the doorstep - lovely walk into old town also. We travelled in December so it will be a different resort in summertime but it was ideally located right next to beach as well.

Linda McBean

Some of the rooms need renovating for the prices they charge. Having said that if you don't want to party on the strip (we are in our 60s) this area has lots of decent bars and restaurants. We've been coming here for over 20 years! The best part of oura praia hotel...seeing Bobs friendly face!

JW

We first stayed here in 2016, and had not returned until this year. nevertheless I always popped in every year to say hello to Bob in reception, who became a good friend. it really felt like coming home and we quickly became friends with most of the other Reception staff. Our apartment was superb, overlooking the pool, with an balcony about 3 quarters of the length of a cricket pitch!

I must say I am so impressed with the cleanliness of the resort. My room is so clean, Also lounge area , pool area and all other part of resort are quite clean and tidy. Best location .. you can get the best sea view from the most of the area of the resort. I love the way it has been designed.. pool and restaurant is facing the sea which makes experience very relaxing. Entertainment staff was trying their best to provide all kind of entertainment experience like kids and adults games, Zumba, yoga , pool side dancing, etc.. my kids loved mini disco after dinner every night and they were always looking forward to join the disco after dinner.. Also quiz night was wonderful. I love the way management try to provide different experience every night.. and African night was the one of the best experience I had.. All were so professional.. and quite helpful.. Food wise variety of food choice but being vegetarian I am not quite happy as they were very few choices.. and most time it’s rice , chips and salad.. But they were not suitable for my Indian test.. and we have to eat out or compromise with salad and fruit and stuff.. Also would love to have kettle in room with some refreshments…

Noah Fleming

The rooms are very clean and nice a bit dated but still very good the service is amazing the all inclusive is very nice and the food is really good and the room has a really nice view of the sea. They provide a very nice outdoor pool and a indoor pool. They also provide very nice activities such as a pizza workshop I took part in. They also provide free bus to old town. Overall I recommend this hotel if ur looking to come on a family or friend holiday for a good price.

Kim Randall

Just returned home after a 4 night stay, we had a brilliant time. I do agree with some reviews, the rooms are dated however they are spotless and clean, the hotel always had a clean smell to it. For a 3 star we couldn't believe how the food was as good as some 4 stars we have stayed in. There was so much selection and we enjoyed every meal. All the staff are really really friendly and could not do enough for us, this certainly made our break even more special. I would highly recommend this hotel and staying all in. But if you are a snob or expect more for what u have paid don't bother. The hotel is value for money and I can't wait to return 🙌 🤗

Brian Clark

This hotel is either full on loud in your face evening "entertainment " or sat in a lobby type bar with no alcohol bar during the day although there is a pool bar which is very noisy and too loud to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Rooms in need of updates, clean n tidy but glass in balcony door rattled and draughty, hotel staff absolutely brilliant and deserve a better venue. No doubt they are underpaid for they're amazing effort, towels always replaced, tea coffee etc great. All inclusive is hit and miss food wise, don't forget to use the microwave if you want anything hot 🔥 cheeses n fruits were great. Animation team had a better time than those they were meant to be entertaining 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Helen Whyte

Just returned from a great stay at the Auramar Hotel. The hotel is very clean and the staff are fantastic. I couldn't fault the service. It's within a 10 min walk to the strip and they have a complementary shuttle that runs to the old town. Remember to take a beach towel as they are not supplied. The all inclusive is exactly what you'd expect for a 3* all inclusive. Plenty of loungers round the pool.

Kerys Williams

I'm a travel agent and travel a lot with my job. Other reviews are correct it's more of a basic 3*, rather than a 4*. I believe the rating is from the old rating, where the ratings were based on what they offer a customer, which have now changed since TripAdvisor. Back in the day, you can see that this was a really good hotel. But very little has been done to it since, with its up keep and moderation. ✈️If you like your holidays based on staying at your hotel on an all inclusive. I don't think this is the hotel for you. The facilities are nothing compared to modern day 4* all inclusive hotels, ✈️If you are someone who just uses the hotel as a base. This is great, as the kitchen is basic but enough for what you need and a large supermarket and fast food options just a short walk away. Beach and old town Albufeira is about a 10minute walk down hill. TIP) For about six Euros all day use, there is the tourist train. Pick up a short walk away and it's good for getting around. Takes you to the beach area and another 4 points. Great if you are trying to save time if on a short trip.

Janice Cummins

Nice and clean hotel but old fashioned. Needs updating, Otherwise lovely. Food in hotel bar was not nice, would avoid. Breakfast however in Oh La Late at the front of the hotel was beautiful in presentation and taste.

becky louise

We are here now and have 4 nights in total at this hotel. Honestly it’s not as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be, you get what you pay for it’s a cheap getaway. It definitely isn’t a 4 star 3 star at most. Rooms are dated and worn but still very good to stay in. Location is great everything is within walking distance from the hotel. Staff were lovely when checking us in. Would I stay again for another cheap getaway? Yes.

Ellie B

Rooms are very basic but the hotel is large with a lot in it. The gym is €8 per use which is pretty annoying although the women stated it’s an outside company, I would expect a hotel that is 4 stars to offer a gym included in the price. The tattoo studio offers photos with no price and no one around to speak to. The indoor pool is brilliant and great for winter. The outdoor pool was quiet but it was not warm weather. Had Santa’s grotto for the children & music playing in the bar area. The room had everything we needed for a 3 night stay with a store in the hotel which was good. I assume in summer this hotel could be great even more than the 3 star I am giving due to seeing a lot of stuff for children and a pool bar that is closed for the season. We did not pay a lot of money to come here so I would say it’s great value.

Mary Braddish

I stayed for 7 night it is not a 4 star hotel there was no electricity in the kitchenette of the room I was told it should work and nothing else 1 socket was falling off the wall beside the bed the other was under a dresser I had to ask at reception for a kettle because I could not use the kitchen ended up eating out for the 7 days

dee Turner

Staying at resort currently would rate 3 star Reception check in excellent Room cleaned daily with fresh towels good service rooms lack of mirrors near plug points no kettle in room although can get one from reception for 20 euros refundable deposit only downfall it trips fuse box Towels are not standard for pool which is in most allinclusive Grounds picturese and well maintained Coffee machines constantly not refilled Bar always a queue not the staffs fault they are delightful and try there best lack of staff on duty is the problem Dining room go early for a table or times wandering around to find table that's been cleaned and set up again not the staff on dutys fault more staff needed Oh yes hunt the filled salt cellar Food ok selection ok warm Otherwise plenty sun loungers and polite staff. Update Vast beautiful grounds Grill restaurant / pool and bar very tranquil very clean

Jonah Lohstroh

We took our first vacation to Portugal at the end of March and couldn't have chosen a better hotel. A beautiful resort right on the atlantic Ocean, with lovely gardens, beautiful houses and lovely rooms. Everything is clean, and the food and drinks are excellent. The staff, including entertainment, reception, and cleaning staff, are incredibly accommodating and friendly and will ensure your stay is unforgettable. We will definitely return. We had a wonderful time!

Adriana Beach Club Hotel Resort Review - November Visit I recently visited the Adriana Beach Club Hotel Resort in November, during the off-season, and was pleasantly surprised by the level of care and service provided, despite the quieter period. The staff at the hotel really go above and beyond, working tirelessly to maintain the grounds and ensure everything is in top condition. The resort is well-kept, and you can tell a lot of effort goes into the upkeep, even when things are slower in the off-season. The views of the Atlantic Ocean from various points around the resort are absolutely stunning. The expansive coastline and the sound of the waves crashing make for a serene and relaxing atmosphere. If you enjoy scenic views, you’ll definitely appreciate the beauty of the location. Access to the beach is via a set of stairs, which can be a bit challenging, especially for those with mobility issues, but the walk down to the sand is well worth it. The beach itself is peaceful and relatively quiet during the off-season, perfect for a relaxing day by the sea. The restaurant facilities were also impressive. The buffet was the only option open during our visit, but it offered a great variety of food, all of which was fresh and tasty. Despite being out of season, the quality and selection of food were still excellent, and the staff were more than willing to accommodate special dietary requests or food preferences if you ask. One downside of visiting during the off-season is that only the main bar and buffet restaurant are open, which means that guests at the far end of the resort (like we were) can find it a bit of a trek. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to the main area for food or drinks, which might be a consideration for those with mobility issues or those who prefer more immediate access. Overall, though, the Adriana Beach Club is a lovely place to stay, and despite the quiet time of year, the staff’s dedication to quality service and maintaining a high standard made our stay enjoyable. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-maintained resort with breathtaking views, but perhaps be prepared for a bit of walking if you’re situated at the furthest points of the property.

We travelled end of March for our first holiday with baby twins. We opted for a reasonably priced all inclusive with nice rooms and food, in case we didn't get good weather. Upon arriving we found the hotel to be nice and clean and staff very friendly. It wasn't busy at all when we went. The rooms are like small apartments around the site. Ours was about a 5 minute walk from the main building but the grounds are really nice with trees and grass etc. The room wasn't really big enough for us with two travel cots and we didn't have a kettle or anywhere convenient for washing and drying bottles, so we used the bathroom. As that didn't have an extractor we had to time washing, sterilising and drying bottles around showers due to the condensation. Kettle was provided at reception with a deposit, when we asked and there are plenty of coffee machines and a microwave in the main building. We had to use baby friendly which we found the bottled water in the room was ok. We were provided more when needed although we had to ask a few times and a couple of days it wasn't replenished. The bed was ok, twin linked to make a double. Travel cots were fine and babies slept well. Some English movie channels but the TV is very small. I really liked the grounds and location as we were able to go on some nice walks with the babies. There is a good hike to Vilamoura along the coastal trail and the hotel had a few nice fitness trails. There is a shop about 25 mins walk but not much else. However a bus is available on alternating days to Albufueira and Vilamoura for 1 euro each way. We ventured out and loved Albufueira and Vilamoura. The real let downs for us was the food and the indoor pool. We took the babies swimming on a couple of occasions and found the indoor heated pool to be cold, which was really disappointing as we could only really have them in there for 5 minutes. The a la carte restaurants were closed but we didn't see any notice of this when booking. We found out they were closed due to it being the off season in March. Breakfast buffet was 2 out of 5, being generous. No eggs cooked to order and cooked food was always cold or like warm as best. The French toast was the best thing they had. Lunch was ok but dinner disappointed every evening. We heard the same feedback from people we met on the holiday. Limited choice, nothing exciting and pretty much rice, some type of fish, grilled chicken and chewy pork. There were little chicken pies at times that were nice and the snack bar does cooked foods which was a nice thing to have. I'm not huge in desserts but they had a good selection. I did have the banoffee pie one evening which just turned out to be pastry with chopped banana and some chocolate sauce. Very disappointing! I wouldn't go back due to the food but we did enjoy our stay. I don't think it was worth the price had paid in all honesty. I do think the hotel has a lot of potential as the staff were friendly and the hotel grounds are great. Nice outdoor kids pool, a park, picnic areas etc, which would be good in hotter weather. Be warned that the beach is down a cliff. There are stairs but it's a bit of a walk.

Becky Wall

We have just returned from here yesterday. Check in was smooth and the reception team were really helpful. I requested our rooms be near to everything. As my mum and daughter both have disabilities. We were in b block which was a perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but it was no means perfect. The rooms were damp and our beds felt wet every night. But that may have been down to the rain we had most of the week, so we didn't complain as it wasn't the end of the world. Food was actually quite good! Was cold a lot of the time even if we were first in. And there's not a massive choice for vegetarians. But we all ate well and found something we liked every day. (Which is unusual for us) the bar staff were friendly and helpful Sometimes too friendly with our adult (late teen) girls. One in particular was asking for phone numbers daily! We thought the teens may have been bored as they were by far the youngest adults in the hotel, but the entertainment team were fabulous and they joined in with everything! Richards Jessie and vanya in particular were brilliant and they are real assets to the hotel. They do an amazing job at keeping everyone of all ages happy and occupied. We wouldn't stay here again as we like trying new places but I would definitely recommend it. In my opinion it's a good 3 star hotel.
