Sehr schönes Ambiente und wunderschöner Strand, viele Möglichkeiten im Hotelgelände zu essen, tolle Natur zum Spazieren gehen, Gutes Frühstück

Cons:

Das Lüftungssystem ist nicht ausgereift, es schimmelt so gut wie überall an der Klima

Très Bon séjour, nous étions dans un logement avec kitchenette , pour 15 J,
Pros:

En novembre, comme les piscines extérieures étaient trop froide, nous avons pu profiter gracieusement de la piscine du SPA à 32 degré le matin de 9 à 12 H, l'après midi payant, était réservé aux clients du SPA .
Bonne initiative de la part de la Direction de l Hotel .
La navette gratuite pour la vieille ville d'Albufeira..très pratique pour découvrir la ville et son bord de Plage

Cons:

Pas trop de choix pour le Petit Déjeuner à 20 euros et pas assez de distributeurs de boissons chaudes .
