Hotel was clean, spacious and very well run. Staff were friendly and very helpful at all times, the junior suite was spacious and well appointed. Arriving late and missing the evening meal the staff ensured that a meal was sent to the room just after our arrival including a half bottle of wine and a plate of fresh fruit. Everyday a litre of bottled water was placed in the room at no extra charge. The outdoor pool was very clean and maintained but not heated, it takes a brave soul to swim...

Absolutely lovely place to stay. The staff are lovely. The room was right sized and clean. Every part of the common areas was also very clean. The breakfast was also very good with a wide range only options The only bit of a small bother was the location which is a bit away from the main attractions. But the hotel provides a pick up and drop option. Although you are best off if you have your own car

This was one of those places that is a pleasant surprise, not because of anything major, but because everything is done well, and without fuss or annoyance. The staff are friendly and helpful without being intrusive or overbearing, the hotel is clean and well maintained in both private and public areas. The food is good and the location is convenient for both local facilities and travel further afield.

For years I walked past the empty shell that became this hotel and wondered should I buy it and turn it into modern, vibrant place I would want to stay. I talked to friends, tracked down who owned it, it was a real mess. Even found a bank to lend me the money, the the reality dawned on me. I had no experience of building hotels or running hotels and as a friend pointed out buying the building is only the start. Each room needs a TV, several pillows and don't forget the toilet rolls and towels. ...

Hotel was lovely and clean, breakfast was delicious (including: pancakes, fruit, full English, breads, pastries, hot drinks and juices). Hotel was practically on the beach. The loungers on the beach weren’t free which was a little disappointing considering the price. The beach was beautiful, nice sand and a little rocky in parts. Locals were lovely, much quieter than Vilamoura as the area was more a native Portuguese holiday area. Amazing holiday- would return!!!

Chose this hotel as it was close to the beach and nature reserves. Beach was closed for maintenance but we were able to skirt round and walk for miles! Reserve nearby was full of birds, including a pair of Hoopoes, which made my holiday. Hotel staff are attentive and rooms comfortable and clean. We stayed in the older part of the hotel but found the room perfectly acceptable, with a nice view from the balcony. Food was very high standard, not the cheapest but well worth the price in my opinion.

We had an excellent twelve days. Staff could not have been more helpful; including giving guidance on how to travel by coach/bus to Vilamoura, I was grateful for the attention to detail - even printing off the timetable for me, and discussing the practicalities. The thing which impressed me the most was the willingness of the staff to ensure that you had a great stay - suggestions about activities for my child were personalised. The buffet breakfast was more than sufficient, we were B and B...

Could not really fault this hotel at all, and i am very hard to please. Arrived at Eleven in the morning, and was checked in straight away. The room and balcony were large, well maintained and very clean. We had only booked bed and breakfast, and breakfast was freshly cooked to our liking. The staff were fabulous in all departments, very friendly, helpful and polite. A special mention to Marco on reception, who was super efficent and went over and beyond in every way to help. Would stay here...

I would recommend this hotel for couples and small families who enjoy a holiday in a quieter location slightly away from the busy centre of Albufeira. Sao Rafael has 2 small but very good beaches which are about 10 mins walk away and there are pleasant cliff top walks, with colourful flowers and strange rock formations. Town centre a little further to walk, or take the bus. Facilities very good and all the staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent. Everything very clean and well...
