Hôtel de standing au cœur de la Ria Formosa
Pros:

Hôtel hyper confortable, très grande chambre, lit très confortable, buffet petit déjeuner bien achalandé, piscine, garage en sous-sol évite les chaleurs dans la voiture, la situation avec vue sur la Ria Formosa et tous les restaurants aux alentours ainsi que le marché. Bien situé pour les excursions en bateau dans la Ria.

Cons:

Il n'y a pas de contrôle pour les fauteuils autour de la piscine réservés avec des serviettes dès 8 h alors qu'ils sont parfois occupés à partir de 11h. Le bar de la piscine qui se termine à 17h30, pourrait être plus tardif.

Wenn wir wieder in Olhao sind, kommen wir gerne wieder
Pros:

Das Restaurant, in dem auch das Frühstück eingenommen wird, ist sehr geräumig und gut eingerichtet; das Frühstück selbst ist auch nicht schlecht. Für ein Haus der 5-Sterne-Kategorie könnte die Käse- und Aufschnitt-Auswahl allerdings edler und reichhaltiger sein.
Aber wir sind ja in Südeuropa, also alles ok

Cons:

Der Pool ist für die Hotelgröße ein wenig klein und entsprechend überfüllt. Aber der Atlantik ist ja nicht weit

Pros:

Relaxed calm comfortable atmosphere in a picturesque location.

Cons:

At certain times it was difficult to get sun loungers by the pool through no fault of the hotel but down to the selfishness of people who would get up early and place their towels on them before heading off for hours before returning late in the day hence rendering the loungers useless all day.

Ok but not 5 star
Pros:

Quite location. Comfy beds and great views with good breakfast.

Cons:

We booked half board and overall value for money including dinner was not great. Could not get milk for my coffee before 8am room service was not open and they charge €2 for it. Rooms are ok but not 5 star. Broken furniture in the balcony. Hotel lobby and bathrooms gives a 5 star feeling but all other areas needs TLC.
