Ok aber gibt sicher günstigere mit mehr Leistung
Pros:

Frühstück war ausreichend und gut außer der Kaffee der war scheusslich

Cons:

Bei einem 5 Sterne Hotel erwarte ich das zu mindest angeboten wird das Gebäck ins Zimmer zu bringen und nicht hier die Karte dort ist der Lift , in viel günstigeren Hotels wurden wir ins Zimmer geführt und bekamen eine kurze Einweisung wo was ist, wir waren 9 Tage auf dem Fischerweg unterwegs das war das letzte Hotel und das teuerste, wollten uns etwas Luxus gönnen, Wellness (Whirlpool und Hallenbad) Massage ist klar, bezahlt man extra für einem Wellnesshotel sehr speziell, Liegen am Strand gehören wohl zum Hotel kosten aber auch. Liegen beim Zimmer ziemlicher Verschleiß.

Lovely hotel for a mini break on a fab beach
Pros:

Fantastic location on the beach. Lovely restaurants and bars. Great sea view from the room. Staff in reception were extremely helpful. Lovely big room - recently refurbished. Lovely pool area. Easy to get into Albufeira

Cons:

The bathroom was extremely dated and needs a refurb like the bedroom. The staff at the bar and beach restaurant need to cheer up! Very dangerous area in the outside seating area near the pool at breakfast… steps slant and it’s very dangerous especially with carrying hot drinks and food
