The food on offer was a buffet style and changed each evening. Breakfast had many options, cold or hot and both breakfast and dinner was tasty. Location very good, literally 2 minutes from the promenade with beaches. Staff all very pleasant. Rooms cleaned daily. Double bed, as requested.

No English channels, Shower not very good. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

The location,

The lifts, only one working with such a high volume of people, they only fit two people and are very slow.

For any review to be meaningful it has to be in the context of what one has paid for the product: judging a Ford by Rolls Royce standards would be unfair. The Atismar pitches its pricing at a very keen level, but the offering actually exceeds what one would expect from this. The hotel is in good order throughout and extremely convenient in its location. Staff are kindly and highly cooperative. Food is well prepared - though not hugely imaginative - and there is a reasonable spread of dishes on offer for breakfast, lunch and dinner with very drinkable house wine and beer included for no extra charge. If one were driving here, there is also abundant parking around the area. The WiFi is excellent everywhere, including the bedrooms. Happily, there do not seem to be any noisy venues in the adjoining streets (e.g. raucous night clubs or bars), so we had a peaceful time at night. Bus access from Faro airport is easy and the Quarteira bus terminal is an easy 10 minutes walk from the hotel.

There are no fridges in rooms. The lifts are only just adequate for the volume of guests, but one gets by alright.

The staff are very friendly. Rooms are basic and could do with upgrading but then hotel would charge more so we were happy with what we got for the price. Same for the food. Plenty of choice at all meals. All inclusive drinks are only local but again plenty of options! The location straight down to the beach & promenade was excellent. About 300m walk to the bus station where there are lots of buses to explore the area.

Some of the all inclusive drinks were not good! The wine in the bar was awful but in the restaurant was much better so at meal times, it was fine. Occasionally there were very loud obnoxious Brit’s that insisted on staying at the bar all day and get the worse for wear but only on a couple of days. And the amount of people of all nationalities, using their phones on loudspeakers at mealtimes, was very annoying. Maybe the staff / management could ask for phones to be on silent in the restaurant. This would make mealtimes much more pleasant!

You can tell it’s an older building and no luxury, but it’s very well-maintained, staff is friendly and the vibes were awesome. People travelling from all over to catch some Sun, restaurant had an upbeat atmosphere, and rooms were clean and well-aired. Everyone there was smiling. Shower was very hot and powerful. Views were amazing! Surpassed my expectations!

You can see some parts of the hotel are a bit aged. The shower shared space with a bathtub and a plastic curtain was used to keep the water in. But everything very clean and comfortable. Would recommend.

Like! I LOVED, Everything. Now where do I start! The staff were stupendous. The foods absolutely delicious. I went all inclusive for 4 nights with my partner and my 2 adult daughters. Hats off to Oksana, Tetyana, Ivan, Christina, the latter, who seemed to me was the restaurant manager, and extremely helpful. Last but not least, Ricardo, the bar man, with such a wonderful charismatic charm that just made you really happy. Thank you Atismar for our wonderful stay. Oh and Louis, or Lewis on front desk. Nothing was ever too much to ask. I will be returning, as this is , now, my only place to stay in the Algarve.

Good breakfast, something for everyone. Attentive staff, very clean and well stocked. Room was good size,very clean, bed comfortable. Lovely balcony area. Hotel is perfectly situated for the beach, restaurants, shops, exploring the wider area and the bus station. Plenty of free parking by the hotel.

Unable to gain access to the terrace after breakfast to enjoy after breakfast coffee (door was padlocked, not sure what time access allowed as we went out by 9 every morning)

Basic but nice - good selection.

I had a little bit of low expectations because of the general rating of this hotel, however, I was pleasantly surprised by it. It is beautiful, the entrance of the hotel is nice, the location is amazing, very close to the beach. The hotel is clean and the rooms are also clean (every day). The towels have a nice smell and the beds are comfortable. We had a little bit of ocean view on the left side of the balcony. The breakfast has a lot of variety.

We can hear a little bit of the "neighbours" (other people in the rooms) because the walls are old, however, at normal hours of sleeping it is quiet so you can sleep comfortably.

The location was great, close to beach and other bars and restaurants. All inclusive drinks were great. The staff were great and pool area was nice.

The restaurant is too small for the number of people and the layout is wrong. People queuing to get drinks in the corner where people are trying to get food, chaotic! Food was cold and chips were rock hard. Cleaners kept leaving patio doors and bathroom window open on 11th floor, we had pigeons in rooms leaving bird muck and feathers in sink and all over bedroom floor!
