We have stayed at this Hotel on numerous occasions and love its location in Olhao. The staff are a credit to this Hotel Group, always friendly and helpful in all departments. Rooms are good, and a Ria Formosa view is a must. | Our only disappointment this time was that the breakfast selection was not up to previous visits. Fresh fruit , yoghurt and pastries were all lacking in variety....which was a shame as previosly breakfast was so inviting. That said , we had a lovely stay.

HEATED INDOOR POOL is enough to give 5 stars rating in winter. They have a nice sea-facing outdoor pool also, which is equally enchanting. Nice and cozy rooms. Good breakfast choices with fresh Clementine juice (they have the fruit crusher where fresh fruit is continuously fed in).||Almost every popular restaurant in city is on the same street as hotel, and also the main port is right in front. We had a dinner in a wonderful Chinese restaurant nearby. Since Parking is free in hotel, it’s better to park at hotel and walk around.||There was some problem with plumbing in bathrooms. Flushing is either slow, or it’s some other issue. Though they sorted it out immediately for us, but it seems architectural issue. Otherwise, the bathroom is quite spacious. Anyway, one enjoys more bathing in the pool and Sauna later, so the WC in room has limited use.||It’s good to pre-book Spa before arrival. Otherwise, timing may not suit you.
