One star !
This is a hotel for the elderly (60+) breakfast is basic and the same food is served everyday, we got a room with a balcony overlooking the back of the hotel, not a great view so make sure you book sea view. Basic room, full of ants also on the bed so they do bite. Bathroom was a joke, no water pressure in a shower, or the sink. Tennis court and rackets needs a bit of TLC. Pool was good, but needed to be cleaned more often. Reception desk were sort of helpful, but what can u expect from a 3 star hotel. Definitely not coming back!

The front desk people are bad. I requested a high floor when I booked, then when I showed up before check in time, I asked the guy again. He put me on the ground floor! I asked the girl I dealt with later if I could move. She said no, they were full. When I persisted, she went to speak to someone, and left me waiting for a long time. Then magically a higher floor room was assigned. The room wasn't cleaned properly and the bed was uncomfortable. I should have spent more money and stayed elsewhere

Outdated and old, dirty and stinky!! Please do not be fooled by photos, I left after first night!! This hotel is old and outdated with a smell in rooms. The floors are not clean even in Lonnie’s floors with full of stain. The staff can not help you at all. It is a big disappointment. The only positive is a free parking, that is all.

Our first room the air conditioning didn’t work. They upgraded us to a much nicer room where the air conditioning didn’t work there either. Property could use some maintenance. No beach towels on the beach side of the property you had to go to the other part of the hotel across the street. Just not that helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is old and could use some updating, but it was clean and well cared for. The staff was accommodating - they even brought us complimentary champagne after noticing during check in that it was my husbands birthday. The onsite parking is free and convenient if you have a car. The surrounding area is quiet, and only a short walk to downtown Albufeira. The extra money for the beach front room was well worth it. We had the best view from our balcony and enjoyed the sound of the ocean.
