I have just come back from a 3 day trip to Algarve and stayed in this hotel. I had booked this through EasyJet Holidays and it was a fair price of £214 each, I came with one friend. So a trip with 2 young girls (20) Upon arrival, check in was straightforward other than being demanded €100 per person deposit in cash, this was not stated online so thought it were a scam. A** machine is outside of the hotel and it only takes out euros, they offered us to pay in pounds too but didn’t bring any cash. I asked some people who were walking into the hotel, a group of young lads to which they said they had the same experience and were a group of 8 so €800 deposit. Since being here I have witnessed at reception an elderly couple not being charged the €100 euro fee, so seems rather ageist towards the younger youth. Rooms were very basic, no beds only hard sofas with 2 flat pillows and a thin blanket. Many ants running wild in the rooms. It has everything you’d need including a kitchenette and ironing facilities, shower was okay but goes cold after 5 minutes. Pool facilities are nice, 2 outdoor pools and 1 inside pool plus jacuzzi. We were greeted with a long list of rules (I have attached a photo) I found some of these rules a bit over the top, such as no music by the pool and no inflatables, some rules were fair. Hotel guests vary from young adults to elderly, I have not seen any families with young kids here. Wouldn’t recommend for people with younger children. The hotel is situated in a great location, 5 minutes away from the ***** and a 10 minute walk to the closest beach. Plenty of food and drink places around, we were self catering and did not struggle to find something to eat. All in all, I would recommend this hotel for people who just want a base to put their head down. However you get what you pay for, so can’t expect the world of it. Many thanks for a nice stay.
