Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and functional rooms ideal for families. Although the rooms are not soundproof, the overall maintenance is good. The location is fantastic, right on the beach and within walking distance to amenities, making it a perfect choice for a family holiday.
The hotel was spacious for three people but could benefit from an infrastructure upgrade. The rooms had good size with 2 balconies, but they were not on a 5-star level. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially towards children. The location was great for exploring various attractions. The dining options were diverse but lacked proper allergen labeling. The facilities were adequate but could offer more variety.
The hotel rooms had a great view and good access to the beach, offering a nice terrace for a comfortable stay. While not five star, the rooms were spacious and well-equipped, similar to 2-3 star apartments in other countries.
The hotel offers bright, spacious rooms with good air conditioning, though some maintenance and furnishing updates are needed. The staff was friendly and helpful, but one member was a bit abrupt. The location is fantastic, providing direct access to a beautiful beach in Albufeira. The dining options varied, with some choices being of excellent quality and others not meeting expectations. Overall, an enjoyable stay with room for improvement in certain areas.
Our stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms, although a bit cold due to the central heating, were spacious and accommodating for our family, with extra beds for the kids. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to make us feel welcome. The location was perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to the beach. Dining options were good, but we missed a variety of fresh vegetables. Overall, we had a lovely time despite minor inconveniences.
The hotel rooms are spacious, immaculate, and cleaned daily, offering a lovely view. On the downside, the service lacks friendliness and catering for special dietary needs was disappointing. Overall, I'd rate it 3 stars rather than 5.
The hotel is beautifully located right by the stunning beach of Santa Eulalia with direct access and only a short distance from the main strip. The rooms are nicely set up for families, but there was a lingering smell of cigarette smoke and the decor could use a refresh. The service was outstanding, except for the room condition, and the beach bar was a top spot to hang out. The dining experience offered a good variety but was on the expensive side. Overall, a great place for families and couples to stay with fantastic views and friendly staff.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were large, clean, and equipped with air conditioning, though the decor was a bit dated. The service was incredibly helpful, friendly, and efficient. The location was perfect, just 100 meters from the beach. The dining experience had some limitations but still offered some great options for my family. Overall, a wonderful choice for a stay.
The hotel is situated in a stunning beachfront location, offering easy access to a good supermarket and various restaurants. While the rooms felt old-fashioned and lacked soundproofing, the service was exceptional with helpful and polite staff. The dining experience was top-notch with a wide array of high-quality food choices.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The rooms were fine and the beds so comfortable, plus we got a lovely surprise of champagne and cake delivered to our apartment. Although paying extra for a sea view was a little downside, I must say the terrace made up for it, being very comfortable.
I had a lovely panoramic ocean view from the room, which was very nice, clean, and spacious with a very comfortable large bed. However, the room felt a bit dated, cramped, and the sliding doors didn't seem to close properly. The service was stunning, the staff knew how to cater to gluten-free diets, and they were always extremely helpful and friendly. The location was brilliant, near various amenities, with a beautiful beach just next door. On the downside, the dining experience was very poor in quality and didn't match the expectations of a 5-star hotel, despite presenting several options. The facilities were decent and met our needs throughout our stay.
I stayed at a hotel with great beach access and delicious dining options, though the room curtains were a bit old. The service was attentive, and the location was fantastic for relaxation and nearby attractions.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were lovely with great air conditioning, perfect for the Costa del Folk festival. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, even wiping the cost of the food from our bill. The location was excellent, right by the gorgeous beach, which was my prime reason for choosing the hotel. The dining experience was okay with plenty of choice, but a bit pricey for a family of 4. The facilities were very nice, clean, with a very large comfortable bed and all the amenities you'd need throughout your stay.
I stayed at this hotel and had a lovely experience! The rooms were nice, but could use better comforters. We didn't eat at the hotel due to the high prices, but the private beach was a real highlight. Service was a bit slow at times, but they did try to upsell expensive trips. The location was fantastic, with direct access to the beautiful beach. The dining options were good but could have more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a real kitchenette but lacks modern amenities. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, although there were minor issues with cleanliness. The location is perfect for a tranquil beach holiday, with excellent facilities and attentive staff. The dining experience is good but could use some improvement in variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with a great atmosphere and friendly service.
