Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, though spacious and well-equipped, showed signs of wear and tear, and the noise from the generator was bothersome. The service was a mix of excellence and rudeness, with some staff going above and beyond while others left much to be desired. The location was pleasant, being close to traditional Portuguese areas, but proximity to a travelers' camp was not ideal. The dining experience had its moments of chaos but also offered some amazing dishes. Overall, the facilities were good, but improvements could be made.
The hotel offers a lovely view of the marina and is conveniently located within walking distance of the old town. The rooms are spacious but could use some updating, and the breakfast, although good, is a bit overpriced. The friendly and helpful staff make for a pleasant stay overall.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful overall. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had lovely balconies, making for a comfortable experience. The service was exceptional, with staff being incredibly friendly and attentive. The location was convenient, being just a short walk from the beautiful town of Olhao. The dining options were varied and satisfying, offering a good selection of dishes. The hotel facilities were great, providing a pleasant environment for relaxation.
