Mini November break
We decided to stay for 5 nights for some winter sunshine. The spa was very good and excellent value for money. The hotel is very nice but would only consider it to be 4 star as some areas of the hotel do need to be updated. Buffet breakfast was great every morning. Olhão is worth a visit for a couple of days, however at this time of year a lot of places are closed

Visiting the Algarve region of Portugal with a central location like Olhao makes this resort hotel an ideal location for those with transportation to get out in the regions natural waterways and estuaries. We enjoyed the beautiful views out on the bay, the marina, and close walk to restaurants and a grocery store. We had a wonderful suite with two rooms for the three of us. The balcony that swept around our hotel room was great to lay out or sit and sip tea and have cookies. Our room had a small adequate refrigerator and a coffee maker. It would of been nice to have a small microwave to reheat a pizza or small food item. The pool area looked great but we did not use due to our busy adventures. My family and I enjoyed the amazing selection of breakfast buffet items with wonderful service from the restaurant team. This was included in our room price. Overall clean, comfortable beds, modern two bathroom suite, and great service. Our front desk team was helpful for our early check in and working out a problem with a phone that didn't work in our room. It was repaired with a new cord within an hour.

Overall we loved the hotel and Olhão. The lobby was beautiful, staff and check in efficient and easy, room spacious and clean, loved the breakfast especially the granola and great location with a nice walk to the local restaurants. A few small things that would give it more of a 5star feel rather than 4star; water wasn’t replaced in the rooms, no dressing gowns provided, the towel situation by the pool isn’t great-you have to go to the spa with a card to get one thread-bare towel and warned to bring it back or you will be charged €15…with the 5star rating and price paid we felt this was unnecessary. All said we had a wonderful four days and would definitely come back.

Wonderful hotel! The rooms were large and comfortable. All amenities were included in the room (shampoo, lotions, soap). The breakfast in the morning was plentiful and had variety. The staff was friendly and helpful! Pool was clean and a chair could always be found. Perfect location with access to restaurants on the main strip and plenty by wandering through the back streets. Book this hotel, you will not be disappointed.

Its overpriced for what you get!!
The hotel is supposed to be 5 star,but barely makes it in 4!! The air conditioner on the room was not so effective, incredibly the elevators don't have a "up"botton ,so you always have to go down. Tje breakfast is not well stocked and tje pancakes hard as stones. The food at the pool is very poor and expensive. In general its overpriced for what you get!!
