Great hotel
The property is fantastic, can't say enough about the staff, friendly, helpful, and attentive to any request or needs. Location in Albufeira is amazing. Just don't know why a property of this caliber can't provide proper Wi-Fi because there is no encryption, so in my opinion it's essentially useless.

Fantastic relaxing hotel
The hotel is AMAZING so are the staff!! The room had a beautiful view of the ocean and pool. The swallows were so cute flying around the greenery. The pool was great! Every 2 chairs had an umbrella. We went down to the beach but you have to reserve chairs and pay for them which we didn’t not so we sat on the sand for a little while. They have 4 restaurants which we only went to 2 we had buffet breakfast that had a lot to choose from and. Are at the Italian restaurant 2x food is excellent and Rita is the sweetest! All in all it’s ***** Much needed beach relax after site seeing Lisbon and Porto
They gave me a pretty flower at check in and water every day

Really great hotel, very clean and modern with excellent service. Rooms were perfect (stayed in deluxe suite). The room had everything we needed and they even provided a baby cot and high chair for our baby. The staff were always very polite and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The grounds of the hotel, including the various pools were well maintained and inviting. Great access to the beach as well but not suitable for a pram. The only reason for not providing 5 stars is due to the limited food options and the quality of the food. The breakfast was excellant but lunch and dinner options were a bit limited and some of the dishes were not the best. However, the venues were great and the staff brilliant. I would highly recommend this hotel but would suggest planning to eat outside the hotel in the evenings.

This is 5 European stars which is not equivalent to 5 American stars. The resort is nice, the food was great, but the area around hotel is not at par for 5 star. There are cigarettes buds on the property, the way to the beach is shared with everyone else and has litter under the stairs leading to the beach. You would not see things like that at 5 start US standards hotel. Plus, European all inclusive is different, you are still expected to pay for water, alcohol, and sun beds. The beach is beautiful but so crowded. Sun lounges by the pool could use deep cleaning, there is no service at the pool unless you ask, you have to clean after yourself too. Nobody comes around and takes your empty bottles. I did enjoy the stay, but I should have had lowers expectations from 5 stars in Europe.

The receptionist and manager forced me to upgrade because I have a child (who does not need extra bed) so I did and I paid the upgrade fees in cash at check in. They gave me a receipt that shows only part of my cash payment (for one night) when they forced me to pay for all the nights and I did. At check out, they asked me to pay for the upgrade fees again for the remaining nights because the receipt only shows I paid for one night. I should have checked the receipt carefully but I never expected them to be such a fraud. I ended up paying double of what I should have paid for the room upgrade which was forced to begin with. I paid in cash so I don’t have proof other than the wrong amount on the receipt. Also, there was no hot water in the shower and thry couldn’t fix it the entire night. I showered in cold water then tried to sleep wearing my jacket as I was freezing. Argued with them the whole night to fix the hot water and didn’t get any sleep at all.

Average. 5 star prices 3 star service
The one thing this hotel lacks is service. There are no staff by the pool side and when you do see one they are no paying attention. On the half board package you get an insulting 20 euro discount from a la carte restaurants. The food and drinks are very expensive which is why nobody eats or drinks by the pool. I arrived at 1am and when I got to the room it was like a sauna. The air conditioning is very weak and so did not cool down until the next day so the sleep was very bad. At the Japanese restaurant the menus are on iPads and the internet is poor throughout the hotel so the iPads did not work. On the plus side, food at the buffet for breakfast and dinner is decent as is the service there. In conclusion, the hotel has the potential to be very good but lack of training and quality of the service lets it down.
