It is not a 5* as advertised but it is a nice hotel with very spacious clean rooms and friendly and very welcoming staff and service. The amenities need to be renovated and the food is just above par, not bad but not jaw dropping.

An okay place

Main positives is the hotel has very large rooms, good location and good facilities. Negatives are that room was not made up by housekeeping on one day, they charge 2.6 euros per day for the in room safe ( without mentioning this in their profile) which is cheesy and really not appropriate behaviour for a 4 star hotel. Finally the tv did not work. All in all a reasonable stay but certainly nothing special.

Basic hotel, good location

Rooms are comfortable, kitchen has everything necessary for light cooking, except there is no oven. Beautiful gym facility BUT there is an extra charge to use it (5€ per day!).

Good size apartment. Loud karaoke.

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the apartment. Very clean and good maid service. The kitchen is well equipped but there is a cupboard that juts out over the sink that makes it awkward to do dishes. With so few dishes to do we didn't use the dishwasher. There is also a small clothes washer we did use and a drying rack on the balcony. The chesterfield which is also a pull out sofa bed was not particularly comfortable to sit on. The bed was very comfortable once we removed the mattress protector that had a plastic/ rubber side that made you sweat. The hotel has an open atrium from the ground floor to the roof. Our room on the 3rd floor wasn't very far from the atrium so on the evenings that they had karaoke in the bar on the ground floor I could hear every song well enough to know which song they were singing. The front desk didn't know the location of the closest Pingo grocery store or that the bowls green at their MGM sister hotel Club Praia da Oura was no longer playable. Although it is beautifully pictured in their hotel info. The restaurant on the ground floor wasn't very welcoming at first because we weren't on half board but once we were allowed in the food was good and the staff attitude improved. I think in this case they were just a bit overwhelmed at the time by the number of people there for dinner and only a couple of staff.

Average stay

We had an adequate stay at this hotel. It is definitely not luxurious and I wouldn't class it 5 stars. A low 4 stars at best, but as long as you don't expect luxury staying there, it's fine. Reasons for this review: The hotel is clearly quite dated and the rooms aren't in 100% condition. EG our apartment had quite a bit of mould in the corner of the living room and bedroom walls. The curtains were very dated and the couch was very, very worn. We did all inclusive, which gives you access to all the food across the properties in Algarve. The main hotel restaurant had an ok selection but not amazing. It was pretty clear that the staff at the restaurant did their best but they were not staffed adequately because every meal time the tables were not adequately re-set in a timely manner after diners left. Likewise the food was not replenished fast enough and often many dishes were missing for a long time before being replenished. We visited a number of the different restaurants and only the aqua restaurant had a kids menu, which made it challenging with kids as not all the staff were very accommodating about making adaptations for the kids. The alcohol selection for all inclusive wasn't great. Very basic and dated cocktails and the quality of the beer and wine honestly was not good. The pool entertainment was pretty basic. Overall this place was ok but as you can see from above it certainly wasn't luxurious.

Very nice hotel. Clean, spacious and also very quiet, which was good. The location was also good - walk distance to beach, old town and the stripe. The meal (breakfast and dinner) was average. One thing not very happy was for arrange a taxi to Faro airport - was told by the front desk staff that they could arrange taxi with fixed price of 50euro but actually the driver charged by meter for 56euro saying never be fixed
