"The apartment is cosy, with good Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The only thing missing is a washing machine. There are comfortable rooms with large wardrobes, including two bedrooms (one with bunk beds) and a dining room with TV and a fireplace (not tested). The kitchen is well equipped, too. There is also a shared backyard and a big pool. There is a barbecue, but unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity to use it. The neighbourhood is very quiet and the apartment offers plenty of privacy....

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our family. The shared pool and gardens were clean and well looked after, and the beach was only a few minutes away. A perfect Algarve getaway."

"This is the apartment you want to stay in when you are visiting Portimao. Many restaurants within walking distance. Great views of the river. This apartment is on the 5th floor but a good lift is available and convenient. The beach is a quick Uber or bus ride away. Veronica was very attentive and the suite was very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!"

"Its tricky to be to harsh on this hotel.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating.
This is a 5 star hotel, which is a little generous.
THE BAD
The rooms are very dated
AC was switched off to all rooms. Maybe cost saving, however the hotel was busy, and no real reason for it being off when asked..
The safe did not work
The door to the balcony was damaged
The pool did not feel heated, and looked tired
The lifts would bounce and go to the wrong floors. The doors shut far to quickly
Corridors dimly lit and lifeless
Average room amenities, broken light switches dimly lit.
Queuing for a coffee at breakfast
THE GOOD
The Staff
Free local parking
Good location
Very clean
The rooms are large and the beds comfortable.
Lots of choice for breakfast and plenty of space (May)
Overall this hotel is in need of some TLC, and i would not rate it 5 star. 3/4 at a push.
It has enough charm and character, and i chose it on price an location.
Not a bad experience for my wife and I.
Would i stay there again......
Yes, due to the staff, and location and with adjusted expectations."
"The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with many tips and ideas about what to do in the area.
Easy clean and safe parking.
The room was very clean modern and comfortable. Excellent breakfast with lots of choices for all dietary needs.
An overall great experience and would highly recommend this hotel"
"The breakfast menu had a large variety of fruit, pastries, cheese, casserole dishes, eggs, cereals, yogurt,pancakes, bacon, sausages, quiche, fresh juice, coffee selection. We had emphasized the importance of a good beach view to us and the view from our balcony was excellent. The Bar also had a good light menu when we weren’t hungry for a big neal."
"It’s a beautiful property with amazing access to the beach, but the rooms are old. It needs refurbishment, and it needs a lot of love. (to be honest it is not a five star room to any standards.) however the staff is amazing. Amazing breakfast the most beautiful view you can imagine and private access to the beach. Makes it a fantastic place to stay if you’re looking for a four star hotel "
"Could not ask for a better location in Portimao. Very central and across the road from the beach. Very extensive breakfast buffet. comfortable room. Very helpful staff. Portimao is about 45 min drive from Faro and 25 min from Lagos, so it's a good central location. Would highly recommend."
"Was quite a nice stay for a reasonable price. You get what you pay for. Staff were friendly and the hotel was right outside the main strip so close to the beach and shops.
Only downside is it’s right outside the local clubs and bars so if you go bed early it can be a bit noisey"
