From airport by taxi it was 30 minutes. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful. Check in is at 1600hrs. I arrived at 1100hrs. I was given all the details i needed. I was offered use of the baggage store to leave my bag until my room was ready and invited to enjoy all the facilities including the waterpark. A wrist band was provided which gives free access to the waterpark. Rooms - very modern as seen in the brochure/online pictures. Large comfy firm bed and a large walk in shower in the bathroom. Shower pressure was fantastic. Toiletries in bathroom are provided but no tea/ coffee in the room. There is a mini fridge. I had a balcony over looking the waterpark. I thought this would be noisy but as i was out all day it was no issue and at night when the park is closed it was lovely and quiet. The rooms over looking the hotel pool area will be subject to noise from the pool bar and restaurant at night. Hotel Wifi in my room worked perfectly. My room faced the hills the sun rose from so the view in the early morning was great. Restaurant- buffet style, help yourself for breakfast with plenty for all dietary needs. Hot plate, fresh fruit, cheese, pastries, cereals, yoghurt, soy milk, teas, coffees and juices. I'm vegan and there was adequate vegan options. Dinner is a la carte .. menu with limited vegan options but tasty and the service was fantastic. The full menu was extensive and looked to have something for everyone. Bar - the bar serves from 1100 till midnight. All the usual drinks. There's a cafe style snack bar too selling burgers salads chips pizza etc. You can buy large bottles of water here to take to your room if required. Location - Three are a few restaurants within 10 minutes walk. If you want to walk further you can walk to Central Quateira in about 50 minutes or take a taxi. I walked this route... most on pavement but there's a few bits of the walk just on the highway.. so not suitable if you have mobility restrictions. I also walked to Loule. Market Town.. about 5 miles north. Was a decent walking challenge to say the least with much of it without footpath. You can get a cab there for about 10/12euros. And it's worth a visit. Really nice town and market. Quateira beachfront is lovely this time of year. Its warm but still classed as low season and as such there are few crowds and the beaches are very quiet. The waterpark also had low numbers... no queues. Id recommend coming here this time of year if quiet is your thing. I loved it. Gym - there's a hotel gym... a multifunction weights station, bike, treadmill and free weights. WiFi is iffy in the gym. Pool - Hotel pool area is small but as there's not many here at this time of year it was lovely to relax. WiFi worked by the pool and there were plenty of sunbeds. The pool water was cold but in the heat of the day it was welcome. I read a review that this hotel doesn't accept card payment. This is NOT CORRECT. CARDS ARE AC
