Pros:

Localização, conforto da cama e almofada.

Cons:

Pequeno almoço podia ser mais variado e ter melhor qualidade para o tipo de hotel em questão.
Casa de banho devia ter extrator de ar. Não existia Robe, nem chineos, nem maquina de café no quarto.
O hotel disponibiliza mas tem custo adicional, o que para um hotel deste nivél, ficava bem essa cortesia.

Hotel lindo, amplo, com a melhor localização, de frente para o mar e piscinas maravilhosas.
Pros:

Hotel com uma localização maravilhosa, próxima à marina de Vilamoura. Estacionamento de fácil acesso e gratuito. Café da manhã em local amplo e com diversas opções de produtos frescos, inclusive uma vitamina de frutas deliciosa. Bar sempre aberto com opções de refeições rápidas. Fiquei em um quarto com vista ao mar e tamanho incrível. Equipe de atendimento da recepção simpática e educada. Piscinas lindas e com cadeiras suficientes para todos. Água natural e saborizada disponível na recepção.

Cons:

Quase nada. Podiam tirar o chuveiro de dentro da banheira, para facilitar a entrada e saída do banho e ampliar o horário da cafeteria.

Pros:

Hotel was immaculate with great facilities and in a superb location, just a 5 min walk from the marina. My room was perfect, being very spacious and with a lovely view of the sea. Plenty of choice at breakfast and although the first two evening meals were ok, the second two were very good and very enjoyable.

Cons:

Some of the staff, particularly in the restaurant, were quite dour faced with very little engagement, just about managing ‘hello’. I’ve encountered this before at hotels and more effort should be made with solo travellers.
