My family of 2 children and 2 adults spent 1 night in this hotel. It was quiet season so check-in was quick and the staff were very helpful. We ordered combined rooms which were large, clean and nicely decorated. The beds were large and very comfortable (some of the best hotel beds I've slept in in recent years). The breakfast dining hall was nice and the food great. The swimming pool/spa area was located on the 1st floor and had nice views over the sea. The kids loved the pool as it was raining outside.

The only slight issue I experienced was that my room was clearly a smoking or ex-smoking room. The smell of cigarette smoke was quite strong so I had to open the windows in order to try and clear the air. Unfortunately, the smell is likely ingrained in furniture/walls etc and so its permanent. I could have transferred rooms but after unpacking I felt I could deal with the minor issue but I reported it to the hotel as a concern they may wish to address.

Yes, the hotel was very good, and so we're the staff, Breakfast was plenty full, and having an evening meal at the hotel was also very enjoyable, can not wait to stay there again, when that will be that is the question, but we hope very soon, again the staff, could not help you any more than what they could, 10 out of 10 to them,

There was one thing that at the time of staying at the hotel, was the rain, some days from morning to night, and the wind at night as well, those are the only things we didn't enjoy, sorry to say it wasn't the hotel fault, that the weather was not nice, people in Faro has said that it was unusual for that time of the year,

Fabulous location especially now the new centre and promenade opened opposite.

Hotel is not five star. Rooms are tired, carpets are frayed, paintwork needs redoing etc. Tiles in indoor pool are missing or dirty. Jacuzzi out of order.

Pool and Sun beds - lovely view and comfortable Breakfast good quality and plentiful. Coffee excellent. Food at pool good quality and reasonably priced . Drinks quality and price . Rooms - large clean and bright and a bath Good gym . New updates to furniture in foyer - very nice

Price to use the steam room and sauna excessive at 30 euros per person , per session. Cost of rooms surely covers cost . Really look forward to using the steam room so was extremely disappointed. Outside Pool not horrendously bad but will need soon maintenance soon with missing tiles and dirty grout . Pool bar inside furniture very uncomfortable / poor quality and not in keeping with the rest of the property .

The hotel is a lovely hotel. We have been going there for the last 10 years. Staff are very friendly and the hotel bar near the reception is so ideal for food and a drink. It has a lovely atmosphere. It hasn't always been there but hopefully they will keep it open from now on as it's a great way to meet other guests also. The breakfast is lovely also but10.30 am finish is a bit early especially if u have had a meal d night before. A bit later would be much better. Maybe introduce brunch up to 12 noon. Overall this is a really lovely hotel and would totally recommend it.

Only one thing. The room we stayed in was lovely as always but it does need to be re decorated and updated in parts especially the walls. Other than the room needing to be updated decorating wise, one could not fault this hotel.

This was a great location in beautiful Olhão, looking at the water and walking distance to everything. Everyone at the hotel was helpful and friendly, especially in the breakfast dining room. The breakfasts were wonderful; I loved the hot boiled eggs in the buffet and the option to order poached or scrambled; lots of really good bread choices and tasty pastries for fun. The only thing to dampen our delight with the hotel is the fact that the main pool was closed for renovations - it just would have been nice to know that when we booked. But otherwise, all great.

The hotel was in a great location & the views are spectacular out over the bay & islands. The facilities in the pool & spa are excellent and everything you would expect. The food in the pool bar was very tasty and quick. The breakfast room was spacious well equipped and the breakfast was good. The room was lovely, it was clean tidy and had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable

There was building work going on next door and the area looked a bit deserted. In fairness they are probably doing all the work before their season begins in earnest this week

The room was very clean and the general decor is beautiful. I particularly liked the toilets off the reception area. The staff on reception were helpful.and the breakfast was the right balance between healthy and typical fried breakfast.

The lack of instructions for the TV (which I worked out myself) and aircon system (which I didn't). Whilst I enjoyed use of the spa, swimming pool and jacuzzi facilities I was glad that I visited pre half term as I am sure there must be limited availability during high season as the steam and sauna rooms are quite small. The numbers on the safe in room 212 are faded.. The birds swimming in the outdoor pool would be off putting during warmer weather.

The room was very comfortable and good size. Decoration was also very nice. The Nespresso coffee machine in the room was a plus. The staff was very professional and helpful. Nice and spacious lounge. We didn't use the pool (closed for the season) nor spa. Good location and nice views.

The only disappointments were the breakfast and the EV charging station inside the underground parking. I've stayed in other Real Hotels with way better quality breakfast. The eggs were dry and uneatable and the orange juice wasn't fresh but rather from package, which is a shame specially in Algarve where oranges are juicy and renowned. We weren't able to charge our electric car in the hotel. None of the two EV chargers worked, not sure why.

Beautiful hotel with a wonderful view and fabulous facilities. The location is magnificent. The food is exceptional and make sure you have the breakfast when you stay. We celebrated our wedding anniversary during our stay and the staff made it a very special day for us. If you visit the Algarve and love luxury then please include this hotel in your plans
