From start to finish we loved everything about this hotel. The location is amazing. The facilities are modern. We had a room with a city view overlooking an abandoned old building, but we didn't care because the room was so perfect! Yes, there were only two pods for the coffee machine, but the supermarket nearby was selling boxes of ten for £1.50! Every single member of staff was charming. The breakfast buffet had lots of choice. The bar prices were very reasonable. We managed to get a sunbed almost every day and we even got to try out the spa on the one rainy afternoon we had. The location is perfect, immediately overlooking the beach on the quiet side of wonderful Albufeira. We hope to come back, and if we do, we'll push the boat out and pay for a sea view! Many thanks to all the lovely staff!
