10/10 Excellent
"We originally looked at booking in vilamoura ,but wanted something closer to the beach , this hotel fitted that bill perfectly, the location was fantastic in proximity to the beach, it was right in front of the hotel, we did bed and breakfast, the breakfast was very good, the rooms were really nice , and the cleaned daily , we had a sea view, which was lovely, staff were really friendly and extremely helpful, I can only find one negative, unfortunately the pool area was a bit small for the number of guests for the hotel , and beds were quickly taken , and quite tightly packed together,the hotel does have its own beach area , and you can book loungers and parasols , at the beach hut , for 15 euros a day , for 2 loungers and a parasol, we found this to be better than the pool area for us , but that was personal preference, on the whole I would definitely stay here again , Quarteira is a nice enough resort ,the promenade area of quarteria is lovely."

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel, breakfast options were vast and lovely bar areas. Ate at the poolside restaurant which was also good. We didn’t eat our evening meal at the hotel as we had various restaurants booked but it looked great. Rooms were cleaned daily with fresh bedding and towels every day if you wanted them. They also gave the option of not having your room cleaned and instead receiving a free drink token. We only used this once during our stay but on that day our water and coffee was still replenished. Also had a visit every day around 5pm to offer more towels and chocolates which was a nice touch. There were also complimentary items handed out around the pool some days - ice creams one day and fruit shots another. The staff were always helpful and friendly. We will definitely return."
