“I found this to be a quiet retreat evoking the traditional Algarve, positioned a short walk from the livelier Albufeira strip. The country-style apartments all include balconies, and the hotel's lush gardens surround two family-friendly pools. For a relaxing getaway that balances local charm with proximity to the action, it makes for a smart choice.”

pool area sun lounger snack bar big deposit many rules distant location
i loved the pool area! it had so many sun loungers available. the snack bar was good and had reasonably priced meals. the reception was open 24h, and the staff were really helpful.
the hotel took a pretty big deposit. i thought the rules were a lot. the hotel didn't. it's a little far from shops and bars.
