Pros:

Everything as expected, or better, breakfast very good, in the center of Portimao, room correct size

Cons:

Shower cabin was rather small, so I hit the tap several times and by this changed the temperature of the water to full cold or warm

Pros:

Chambre propre , nettoyée tous les jours . Personnel courtois. Proximité plage et commerces.

Cons:

Hôtel bruyant. Très mauvaise isolation sonore, on entend tout ce qui se passe dans la chambre voisine ainsi que dans les couloirs.
Impossible d'être dans le noir total, la lumière du couloir reste allumée toute la nuit et passe à travers la porte.
Buffet petit déjeuner moyen.

Estadia boa, apenas com o senão da qualidade dos colchões que impediu um bom descanso.
Pros:

Excelente localização. Pessoal muito simpático. Pequeno almoço bom.

Cons:

Colchões pouco confortáveis, sentindo-se demasiado as molas dos mesmos.

Pros:

Hôtel très propre, bel emplacement, le personnel rien à dire très serviable très poli respectueux on a vraiment aimé avec mon Mari. On reviendra sans hésiter.

Cons:

Les prises dans les chambres, pas assez si vous êtes deux avec deux téléphones et un ordinateur par exemple c'est un peu compliqué mais on s'est très bien débrouiller.

Super !
Pros:

Hôtel très propre, personnel très agréable, l’emplacement est idéal.
Le seul petit bémol est la taille du parking légèrement petit. Du coup il faut trouver une place dans les rues. Attention c’est pas gratuit partout

Comfortable and quiet stay, close to the beach
Pros:

Great location (main promenade but in a distance from loud bars), supportive staff, very comfortable room. Also breakfast was very good, and there was plant milk available.

Cons:

One thing that I would improve was the shower. The cabin was tiny, and shower head was attached in a weird spot (super high).
