Amazing short stay perfect location and relaxing
Pros:

Very comfortable stay right next to the city center and the market, ferry boats to the islands. Super friendly and kind staff everyday with a smile and ready to assist. The spa is also great. I truly recommend to spend a bit more on the stay and have this experience. My son (11 years old) loved it too.

Cons:

In the hallway to the rooms was way too warm, I understand that maybe this is better for the environment in terms of energy but I also feel for the people that have to work in this heat all day.

Correct mais je m'attendais à mieux pour un 5 étoiles.
Pros:

Localisation idéale face à la Marina avec ces bars et restaurants et à quelques minutes à pied du centre (marché couvert, commerces, terrasses, bars et restaurants)..
2 Chambres spacieuses et communicantes (bonne surprise) pour la famille (nous aurions cependant bien aimer savoir qu'il y avait cette possibilité avant, car cela ne nous avait pas été indiqué par l'hôtel lors d'un téléphone préalable demandant s'il existait des chambres pour 2 adultes et 2 enfants).

Cons:

Accueil et service correct mais pas au niveau d'un 5 étoiles.
Propreté des chambres moyennes: nombreuses tâches sur les tapis, odeur désagréable venant du frigo.
La vue de nos chambres donnant côté ville ne faisait vraiment pas rêver.

Great sea views
Pros:

Location, sea views and comfortable room. Good breakfast with many options.

Cons:

Service at the pool. If you wanted anything you had to request it at the bar inside. At this price the hotel should have pool service. Food at the pool was good!

Pros:

La piscine, le petit déjeuner, la vue sur la marina et les îles, le parking souterrain. Proximité de la vieille ville de Olhão et de ces multiples restaurants charmant et de qualité.

Cons:

Chambre usée et vieillissante. Fourmis dans la chambre. Nous avons du jeter nos snack et nourriture pour bébé qui était infesté. Nous avons demandé à changer de chambre. On nous a changé de chambre dans la journée. Personnel à l’écoute.

Muito boa
Pros:

Basicamente de tudo, exceto o que indico a seguir

Cons:

O colchão da cama era apresentava uma cova a meio, o que o tornava desconfortável. Devia ser substituído por um colchão com menos uso ou novo
