The staff were very friendly throughout the hotel. I spent some time in the spacious foyer where I did some writing and correspondance and found Washe and Olga at the bar, very friendly and helpful in the morning and Oleanna and Rui and Taha just as helpful in the evening. The proximity of the beach and the town was great. The food was good and the housekeeping staff were thorough and polite. All staff at reception were very helpful and friendly. The sunsets were beautiful.

From the moment you set foot in this hotel you feel like you are the only guest there. This was our third time staying. There seems to be plenty of staff and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Rooms are comfortable with individual balconies and excellent showers. Nothing is too much trouble for staff. We were even provided with breakfast at 2.30am on the last morning before our very early checkout. This was offered to us without being requested and is testament to how staff at this hotel go above and beyond for their guests. Bus stops right outside the hotel will take you to surrounding towns with ease. The outside pool and terrace areas are beautiful and well maintained. Hygiene levels in all areas are excellent. Buffet breakfast has everything you could want and while it can be busy, the efficiency of staff helps everything to run smoothly. Room service from the restaurant was also excellent with food delivered in a timely manner while still fresh and piping hot. Communal areas within the hotel are beautiful and comfortable and the views of the ocean are stunning. Upon arrival we were given a card which gave a discount on every meal or drink purchased within the hotel, this was a nice addition and we used it many times.

The facilities in general were excellent as was the service. The buffet style used at mealtime worked extremely well. Although there appeared to be many guests, it never felt crowded or that service was affected by this. A shout out for Vanda and Jessica who were soooo helpful on reception.

I loved the stunning views and the location, I loved that the hotel had an indoor pool, free crazy golf, and an outdoor play area, I thought the fact that towels for the pool for a few days were free and the safe in the room didnt require a deposit was also appreciated.

Location was exceptional right in the heart of Alvor just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Alvor with brilliant food and restaurants. The facilities again were exceptional the indoor pool and sauna was brilliant considering we went at a cold time of year however the gym and outdoor pool was lovely and clean. Beach access from the hotel which made it easy to access the beach

Amazing location . Suggesting room with ocean view - rooms from the Street are not having such amazing view.
