Our 2nd stay here and we loved it again. The location is excellent and is the main attraction really. We got a very good rate on the room this time too via Agoda. Other pros; it's very clean and modern throughout, the bar terrace is a great spot to watch the sunset, the bar staff are very friendly (they also make the best Pina Colada), the beds were firm and really comfortable, breakfast was great with plenty of options. Some cons; the standard rooms are a bit small, the pool area is also a bit small and can get busy quickly, the front desk staff were a bit stand offish and unfortunately for them they have a temporary desk as there are works going on which felt a little impractical.
Tips; get an Uber to / from Faro airport (only €16-25), the indian restaurant next door is really good, walk up to Vilamoura marina on a nice sunny day (only ~30 minutes and flat).

Stayed at this beach hotel 4 times (12 weeks total) it’s one of only 2 hotels I would stay long term in this area. Rooms are clean, maybe a bit small for some. Passing at the bottom of the beds can be tight. Showers are great, very clean rooms.
Location is great. Aim for a high balcony room, you can watch beautiful sunsets over the water. Hotel opens out onto the esplanade, tiles, so no roads to cross. Staff can’t do enough for you. Breakfast is buffet and substantial. Internet can be intermittent but WiFi covers the hotel.

Fantastic hotel with a very friendly team with views right onto the beach. I recommend that you do get a seaview room, it's well worth the extra cost. The breakfast in the hotel is fantastic with an excellent choice of hot and cold options.... including pastel de natas. The bar area is fabulous to relax in and has a lovely outdoor terrace area to watch the beautiful sunset. They also have a happy hour every day between 5-6pm with a third off drinks.....and the white wine is delightful 🥂 The rooms have recently been refurbished to a fantastic standard. There are a great selection of bars and restaurants around the hotel and you are a 15 mins walk from Vilamoura Marina.

This hotel was really nice, the location was key to us choosing this particular one. It was right on the beach front and so near to all local amenities.
The place was always clean, the staff were always friendly. The food was amazing, especially at breakfast, there was so much choice.
The pool was clean, and the seating around there was spacious.
Really recommend this hotel.

Really nice hotel, new rooms with nice decoration and toilet. The pool is really good in front of the sea and with pool bar… the location is quite good close to Vilamoura, around 2 km of distance.
