Overall we had a very pleasant experience, had a problem with our cards which we managed to resolve however the line at the reception desk can be long.
The food spread was amazing, and my kids loved the kids club.
Good value for money!
For a cheap all inclusive hotel this is excellent.
Ok, so it's a bit tired. But it's clean, the food is very good and the staff were great.
Location is perfect, just by the beach and you can access within 5 minutes. Pools were fab too.
It's also close to the town, if you want to buy a novelty mug with a penis on it.
This is a 3-star hotel, so we didn't have particularly high expectations. The rooms were quite basic and a little worn, but they were clean. Housekeeping was done every day.
When we arrived, I was pleased to see signs stating that reserving sunbeds by the pool was not allowed. Unfortunately, this rule was never enforced. Nobody removed towels, and by lunchtime it was almost impossible to find a free sunbed.
The wellness area was out of service, or at least that's how it seemed. We tried to visit four times during our stay, but never found any staff there.
The food was decent. As in most hotels, the menu became repetitive, which is fairly normal. Our biggest disappointment was the almost complete lack of seafood. During the entire stay, there were fried calamari rings once and a risotto with something described as "seafood mix," although I honestly couldn't tell what it contained. There were no mussels, prawns, octopus, or other typical seafood dishes. On the other hand, there were plenty of hamburgers, breaded fried fish, French fries, and similar food every day.
The afternoon snack by the pool was good – coffee, biscuits, packaged ice creams, slushies, and similar refreshments. We really have no complaints about that.
We had hoped that, since there were no water slides or other attractions for children, the hotel would be quieter. Unfortunately, we were wrong. The beach is accessible by stairs, so I wouldn't recommend it for people with limited mobility. In general, the hotel is not wheelchair accessible. However, the beach is very close, beautiful, wide, and full of seashells. You can even walk all the way to Albufeira's Old Town, and the hotel also provides a free shuttle bus there three times a day. The beach was definitely the highlight of our stay.
The hotel grounds are surrounded by greenery, well maintained, and pleasant.
Smoking is allowed throughout the entire resort, which was disappointing. On previous holidays we were used to designated smoking areas, so we didn't have to deal with cigarette smoke everywhere.
Upon arrival, guests are required to pay a €100 deposit by credit card. This information was not mentioned anywhere in advance, and some guests may not expect it or may not even have a credit card.
Overall, the hotel delivers what you would expect from a 3-star property. However, we wouldn't choose to stay here again. The biggest disappointments were the unenforced reservation of the already insufficient number of sunbeds (despite signs promising that unattended towels would be removed), the lack of traditional local cuisine, and the large number of noisy, poorly behaved children.
I stayed here for a week from the 29th January 2026. My room was a bit tir d but clean. I had a sea view. Unfortunately the weather was terrible. But that's not the hotels fault lol. The food was lovely and a good selection. Unfortunately I fractured my ankle on second night. The hotel staff were great. They went out of their way to assist me. They even loaned me a wheelchair to get me around. This hotel has lots of stairs so isn't suitable for disabled people. However there are service lifts which the hotel staff happily transferred me from one floor to another so that I still had full access. The rep was very helpful too. I enjoyed the evening entertainment. There was a free shuttle into town several times a day. For the price this is a decent holiday.
We absolutely loved our holiday The foam party was amazing and the entertainment team was outstanding. The bar staff were fantastic, and everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Nitto for all the support and dedication. It truly made our holiday unforgettable. Thank you so much
