Relaxed, chilled & perfect few days away
Everything about this hotel was amazing from the moment we got there. Friendly staff, beautiful rooms, amazing roof top pool and bar. The whole vibe is very chilled. Only negative is they don’t have food at the pool bar on a Monday which we weren’t aware of and that was our only pool day so had to go out to get lunch. We did find a lovely place so didn’t make a huge difference.

Amazing Stay in Olhão
We had an amazing 3 night stay! The hotel was spotless and in a great location. The staff were welcoming and helpful, you could see they worked really hard to maintain the quality throughout the hotel!
We used the rooftop pool/bar area everyday and had no problem getting a sun bed. Great facilities which were kept nice and tidy. A very relaxing environment to be in.
The breakfast was delicious and had great options. We had a superior room, which was really spacious and had lots of storage and again spotless, lovely interior throughout.
The perfect getaway, we would love to come back!

Stunning Hotel and Staff
From the minute we arrived at the Hotel we were impressed. Stunning building, very Friendly staff from the Housekeeping, Reception and the Waiting on staff. Very clean, Breakfast choice was really varied and quality. The Pool was lovely and the best sun loungers we have ever lay on. The Food and drinks around the rooftop bar was also excellent and the Waiter service was a bonus. I will not hesitate in staying here again it was superb.

Highly recommended
This was our third stay & we will likely return so that’s a good recommendation I think!
The rooms are thoughtfully designed, most have balconies where one can sun bathe or picnic or read a book. The hotel is in the centre of Olhao & the front desk staff are always very helpful. The bar & small swimming pool on the top floor are good spaces & offer wonderful views of the town.
