This hotel is amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the toilet made a very loud sound off and on over the night. Other than that 10/10 great staff, close to the beach and dining. Short Blot rides to Old Town I would stay here again and definitely recommend

The location is great. Walking distance to couple beaches. One of the beaches has a nice beach restaurant where you can choose your fresh fish and they will grill it for you. Albufera is less then 10 min away by taxi. We liked it because the location is very quiet. It felt that we are by our selfs there. The only thing that I didn’t like is that the bed had this cover over the mattress and under the sheet the protection that you would use for a baby cribs. Like some plastic that sounds like when you move and makes extra warm at night. That should go!

The area is super nice! Walking distance to two beautiful beaches, both with beachside restaurants, paddleboard rentals, etc… The hotel is intimate, almost closer to a BNB than a hotel. This is not a luxury hotel, but I felt like we found a gem of a place to stay with great service, continental breakfast, private pool

We rented a 3 bedroom Palm villa , when we tried to check in at 4 our room was not ready ( not a big deal) and was asked to come back a little later. We explored the area a little and on our return at 5 was told that there was a maintenance issue with our accommodation (the main bedroom with walkout to upstairs patios whole drape assembly had fallen off the wall ) we’re told that they locked the room and if it was ok if we just used it as a 2 bedroom.I told them we definitely needed a 3 bedroom unit, they had no other availability and could not move us. I told them I would take the unit as is so it took another hour for them to clean the extra room for our check in was delayed till 6pm. This particular unit is getting a little tired overall, things like loose hand rail at top of stairs tile trim in upstairs bathroom not flush deadbolt on front door disabled with screw kitchen and living room tables with glass stains. The overall cleanliness I would rate a 3 out of 5 ( I ended up having to give the outdoor patio floor a wash down (no big deal).All the other properties we stayed at provided some laundry detergent for a few loads as well as a roll of paper towels in the kitchen they did not ( would be nice if they had. The underground parking was a joke unless you are driving a small car VW golf your not going to fit but ample outdoor parking . I would say that the staff especially the property manager was very kind and helpful and apologized for the inconvenience of the drapes

This is a wonderful property. The staff was friendly. It one wants to be near the action, then this isn't the place. This place is for a wonderful chill vacation. However, there are BOLT rides that can cheaply take one to the hot spots.

The staff were so friendly, even they mentioned they are new there. They provide us very good information and also do something very special. As we had to go to the airport and could not be there for the last breakfast, they provided us a breakfast bag including a home made sandwich😍 The location is great and just 5 minutes walking to st Rafael beach, but a little bit difficult to reach if you have no car The hotel is too small and some equipment were a little bit old, but in overall the hotel can satisfy you The brekfast buffet had no hot meal, maybe because of the season Safety is also good. The staff leave the hotel at 6 p.m. but there is a guard who is availbale during the night In overall, we really enjoyed and highly recommend the hotel

The area was lovely and it was close to a nice beach. The villa was spacious. The private pool was a bonus but we had to let management/maintenance know that the pool ladder was broken upon our arrival, so hopefully they will address that before the next visitors stay in the unit.

This property is located in a very convenient area. You can walk to a few 5 star rated restaurants and even a local beach. No more than 10 min walk to any location. It feels very safe to walk at night, we really enjoyed that. Prepare to hear a lot of instructions with a map when you arrive to get to your hotel room and they don't assist with luggage. Although the hotel is located on a very beautiful and large piece of property the rooms are not up to date. The wifi is very spotty. We had a leak in the bathroom that left a big puddle on the floor our whole stay because nobody came to fix it even though they told us someone would come. This was very upsetting because nobody came to clean the room either so we were left with limited towels which we used for the puddle. These are things you do not want to deal with after a whole day of traveling. I really wanted to love this place but they have a lot of fixing to do. Staff was friendly.

Clean but not well maintained. Walls and woodwork scuffed, sliding doors damaged, cable inoperable, poor lighting in kitchen. Expedia advertised as no children however screaming child next door was allowed. Rating of 5 star totally is way off the mark. For the price look elsewhere.

We stayed in a villa that was walking distance from two beautiful beaches. You will definitely need a car to get around, as this is outside the city center. The villa was nice, but felt like it had just been built and finished in a hurry. The upstairs bidet didn’t work, the downstairs sink was not caulked together, the closets didn’t close, and there were large scrapes on the walls and no decorations. There were also plastic mattress protectors on the beds, which seemed odd for a luxury hotel. There was also tons of noise with construction of villas next door and the walls are paper-thin, so you can hear your neighbors. Having a full kitchen and washer/dryer was very nice. The property, including the pool, was very nice and felt secure. The lady at the front desk was not at all welcoming and seemed unhappy to be there. I highly recommend the location, but would not stay at this property in the future.

Property definitely isn’t a 4 star by North American standards (I understand this isnt North America). It seems like more of a hostel to me. I stayed in the Superior double room with Sea view. Perhaps the villas and apartment styles are nicer; hence the better reviews? I saw the conflicting reviews when booking and decided to give it a chance with hopes it wouldnt have been so bad. Pictures were consistent with the room. The location is great, close to two nice beaches and away from the chaos of the old town of Albufeira. The staff are nice but don’t expect anything over the top/ them to go above or beyond in terms of service. Breakfast is generic with very basic breakfast offerings - fruit, cereal, bread, eggs, bacon, coffee, tea. The property could benefit from a little more attention to detail. Common areas seem clean and modern. However, I thought my room could have benefitted from a little extra cleaning, especially in the bathroom. The walls need painting, the shower walls could do with some scrubbing (with bleach) and the baseboards need dusting. Overall the room was comfortable. If you’re looking somewhere to sleep and don’t care about the extra details then consider this property because the area is nice. If you’re looking for a higher level of experience consider elsewhere.

We have always visited São Rafael beach in the past so to stay so close to it in such beautiful accommodation was a real treat. Literally a few minutes walk away you have the choice of two wonderful beaches and there are also two pools to choose from. The pool at the villas is small but beautiful especially in the morning. In the late afternoon the pool at the nearby GuestHouse gets the sun and is more spacious. Our 3 bedroom villa was very spacious and had an amazing balcony where we had breakfast every day. The day bed is also a cool feature and we were tempted to sleep out under the stars on it but never got around to it sadly. Apolonia supermarket is about 6 or 7 minutes drive away and has all the groceries you'd need. Margen Sul restaurant is a short walk away and has excellent food...also cater well for children. All in all a great stay and would return in a heartbeat ❤️

We liked the room however the staffs did not communicate well. The day before check out, I’ve spoken with the night shift receptionist, and he allowed us do the late check out at 12:30pm but then the morning shift forced us return the room on time. The reason is the next guests heading to hotel so they need to have enough time prepare the room. Well I believe if they really have next guests check in on the same day as my check out, the night shift staff would tell me about this and reject my request.

This was our second visit, we stayed in a 2 bed apartment it was spacious and had everything you needed. Plenty of toiletries, clean towels and a pack for washing up dishes. The house keeper attends every day to empty bins and do a general tidy up. We found the large bed firm and the smaller beds softer. Sadly my coat disappeared whilst we were staying there which made for a cold and soggy journey home, I have to say the Guesthouse staff and wider team were very helpful trying to locate it, it may well turn up at some point. On the whole another great stay, lots of friendly people and some great places to eat around the area. There is a sparkly new Italian restaurant within ten minutes walk, you can watch the chefs work, and further on Dom Dinis classic Portuguese restuarant never disappoints.
