Stayed in this Hotel for a family wedding
The rooms were very clean and spacious and the bathrooms were spacious too. I must say housekeeping do a great job.
The reception desk were very helpful.
The Wedding Reception was in the Hotels Restaurant and i must say service and food was top class and Breakfast had a great choice to pick from it had lots of different breads and fruits.
The only thing as we were in a group the rooms were not together and as its a large Hotel the were a 10 min walk to get to some family members. The hotel has a shuttle car to take people back to there rooms though.sometimes it was hard to get them.
Also why do they have to charge for wifi that you can only get in the hotels bar and reception area.

We've been to the Algarve a couple of times but only to Albufeira, which we love. My wife found this hotel for a well earned winter break and we loved it. We stayed for 3 nights. The hotel was clean and tidy, as was the room. The service we recieved was also very polite and efficient. The hotel location is within the marina area of Portimao but very close to the great beaches of Praia da Rocha. Obviously the resort was very quiet when we arrived at the end of January but this was just what we needed. It was also easy to imagine how busy it will be in the summer when we plan to return (with our children this time). If you plan to eat out, try La Dolce Vita. A great little italian restaurant which was surprisingly busy when we visited on our last night. The only negative comment I can make was that the hotel gym was a little tired with some pieces of equipment in disrepair. It did have a great view over the marina though.

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment during the summer. Location was good during the day as we were near the pool and beside the beach. Buffet breakfast was generally good.

At night the local bars around the marina and boardwalk come to life so don't count on getting a good sleep, as from 1am to 5am, especially at the weekends, locals returning home from their night out scream and shout without any regard for the hotel residents (our room backed onto the road and overlooked the marina).

A few days into our stay we received a note under our door to say part of the main pool would be sectioned off for a number of days to facilitate a fashion show. We, like most of the other residents, had not been informed this when booking. We complained to the hotel duty manager who said that this was for the benefit of the hotel residents. Transportation to a small pool elsewhere in the complex was provided - the pool was small and far away from the main hotel. It turned out that the main pool, the centre of life in the hotel, was sectioned off fully for about five days. When I met with the General Manager he questioned my motives for complaining and had the audacity to question whether this was about money! We booked a four star hotel for a family holiday by the pool not a construction site- he obviously doesn't understand that a customer expects to get the facilities that they pay for and that are advertised. The staff from the top down have total disregard for customer care once they have you there.

I rode down from the UK with 3 friends to watch WSB at Portimao on reading some of the comments I can only say these people must have stayed at a different complex to us. Firstly the room this was a adequate size for four adults it was clean and tidy and provided basic self catering facilities if needed. My only gripe about the room was the fact that one of the beds which was a pull out bed from beneath the sofa was a little small and to say very basic. The food at the hotel for me was a mix of local quisine and lots of variation infact I never got bored of eating there. Also I would just like to mention that the Xerox Ducati team and the Sterigalda Yamaha team stayed at this hotel so in there eyes this can not be a bad place. I will definatly be returning to this hotel and definatly be mixing with WSB stars again. Paul Lewis (Lydney Glos UK).
