As a solo traveller the on site team made me feel really welcome and interacted with me in a friendly way that makes me want to return in the future.
Lovely quiet little hotel with a really good selection of food. Hotel staff were really friendly and super helpful, would definitely go again. The Strip, Old Town and Marina are all within a 10 minute Uber/Bolt journey, so it’s nice to spend the day in the busy touristy centre, then come back to a nice quiet area. The beach is also within a couple minutes walk from the hotel!!

Lo que más me ha gustado ha sido la playita que está a 5 minutos andando del hotel, es una maravilla y muy tranquila, el atardecer espectacular. En cuanto al hotel, un poco caro para el estado de las instalaciones, no cambiaron las toallas en los 4 días que estuvimos y solo nos pusieron una grande a pesar de ser dos personas. Camas cómodas y espaciosas y lugar tranquilo y agradable.

Arredamento un po' vecchio sia nelle camere che nella struttura. Buona la posizione, spiagge e ristoranti sono raggiungibili anche a piedi.

Very friendly and extremely polite and helpful.
As a basic hotel we did not expect too much however, the staff were so accommodating, helpful and very friendly. Anything we asked, they did. Would highly recommend.
Was clean and comfortable. Staff where friendly. Only down side was no comfy chair in room. Also there was no facility to make tea or coffee in room. I could not get a coffee until bar oppened at 11.00. So found myself leavin early to get a drink.
It was a good and comfortable stay. Clean pool and super close to nice beaches, great location. Because of covid it was very quiet and they will close soon for the season. Feels like lots of Brits come here normally. Recommend it!
Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Schöner Pool, Parkplätze vor dem Haus. Restaurant im Haus war prima. Einfache saubere Unterkunft.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden
Localización tranquila, con bajada a tres bonitas calas. Bañito en la piscina con una cerveza bien fría totalmente recomendado. En general fue una estancia agradable, muy recomendado.
Accueil très sympathique. A quelques minutes d'une plage superbe. Repas corrects et pas chers. Petits déjeuners malheureusement pas terribles, pas de fruits. Quartier très calme. Bien placé pour visiter la superbe côte de Faro à Lagos
The pool area was really nice, the food was good and reasonably priced. Property was in a quiet area very near a beautiful beach and a few bars and restaurants nearby. All in all we had a very relaxing holiday.
Staff were really great and there to help all they could.
Really friendly but not pushy at all.
It was a lovely relaxing place.
Bathrooms could be redone but showers were really great with the pressure being the best shower we have had.
Care taken with cleaning and maid service good too.
Es un hotel antiguo pero está muy limpio, los trabajadores son muy amables. La piscina está muy bien y lo mejor sin duda es la ubicación de dicho hotel. El barrio es muy tranquilo y las playas están muy cercas.
