Amazing hotel, very beautiful. We stayed at the apartment block not the hotel. The apartments feel very secluded from hotel, in my opinion i feel like they have invested more time into the hotel than the apartments. The apartment would benefited from its own reception, this would save time walking to the hotel each time. Teabags, milk and coffee station are the little things that would that extra touch to the apartment.
An extra €15 you can get breakfast, delicious continental and english breakfast. On our first night we tried the dinner buffet for €25, the food was disappointing not worth the €25 at all, not alot of variety at all, the service was great, english speaking staff helps alot. The apartment is very clean, cleaning service provided each morning. Only downfall is that the hotel is very far from everything including the clubs, bars etc. We paid €86 for a taxi from the airport!! Taxi to albufeira is €42-45! Portimão and lagos are the closest towns from the hotel about 30mins taxi costing about €20-25. The cheapest taxi app to use is bolt way cheaper than uber. The noise from the racing each morning can get somewhat irritating. I was expecting one or two days of racing, but did not except it the whole week we stayed here. If you are planning to stay here, i would recommend hiring a car. Overall the reception staff are very helpful at all times nothing is to much bother for them. Thank you very much.
