Disappointed
Not 5 star by a long way, we have stayed before it gets its stars for what it has, beautiful pool, lifts superb, staff mostly all brill, we have just left this morning, and what was bad for me was the Towels , they were rock hard and not great quality for a 5 star hotel, maid emptied bin twice in the eeek, the shower partition is over the bath, it is very dangerous and narrow to get in, that’s enough about the room, the FOOD, yes there’s chicken , but I don’t want little bone bits of chicken in a sauce that’s dry, yes there was salmon, not cooked thru, I saw lots of people leave it, chips were not fresh 3 days out of 6, lots of salad, food was cold, lots complain and had to microwave, desserts well, a full length of melon pineapple etc every day, beautifully presented, But I expect more when I’m paying a lot of money to stay in this hotel, so I’m disappointed really and def not 5 star a good 3

Portugal, alvor , holiday
Hotel was very nice and clean , food was amazing, friendly staff good facilities The entertainment team were enthusiastic, engaging,cater for all languages,variety of activities and great fun would recommend a holiday here 😊
Its ok, but food is aweful.
The hotel itself is lovely, its very clean. We booked a double superior room which has a lovely balcony. Beds are rock hard. You can hear the entertaient on the balcony in the evening but with the door closed and air con on, its quiet. It has a nice main pool (fresh water, very cold!) The splash pool for little ones is great. The onsite shop is a bit rubbish. The drinks are amazing, great quality on all inclusive. The animation team arent the best weve had. Not a particularly british hotel in regards to clientel. The food lets this hotel down massively - honestly its aweful. The food is labelled incorrectly so I pity anyone with allergies. You will need to budget to eat out. To get into Alvor is a nightmare on foot, you either need to walk main roads with no pavement or along the promenade in the heat. We hired a car to drive in and out which made it a lot easier, otherwise its a taxi each way. Lots of options to eat out, between 50-100 euros for food every night is obscene when paying for all inclusive, but plenty of choice out in Alvor. I would not say it is worth the cost, and definitely not a 5 star. The atmosphere is very boring.
Good hotel near the beach
We stayed at the hotel for a week and enjoyed a pleasant, relaxing holiday. The food was fine and what you would expect from an all-inclusive hotel. Everything was clean and nice, and we enjoyed our stay. It was a short walk to the beach, though a bit further to the town center, we drove between the the hotel and center which took no time at all, but walking into town is certainly feasible. I would consider staying at the hotel again. Thanks for a great stay.
Stay from aug 31st to sept 8
