Me & my partner here for my 30th in April 2012 and we loved this hotel as it was fantastic,location is literally 5 min walk to the strip but away enough from the noise at night so you still get a good night sleep. The strip is great for partying as well as just hanging out. Old town is a... More

I first stayed here in the mid 1990's, then was a quaint out of the way resort with lush greenery complimenting the typical whitewashed buildings. Around 15 years later nothing has changed - great you may think....when I said nothing I meant nothing - as far as I was aware it was the same decore, a mix of typically Portuguese... More

Great place to stay if you want to be near the action but far away not to get disturbed sleep. Clean and bright but not 5 star. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good if you don't want to spend a fortune.

The rooms were roomy, clean, with a lovely view onto two nice pools. Close to The Strip and not too far to the beach. At this time of the season however, the hotel catered largely for large groups of dutch teens - and there were few families present. Our toddlers had to battle for space in the children's pool with... More

This was by far the worst place we have ever stayed. The apartment was dirty and mouldy. We had no hot water for the first 3 days, apparently loose wire. There is no air conditioning s when you come in from 90 degree heat you are still sweating. The beds are so hard we had to buy blow up beds,... More

We stayed here as a couple and booked a one bedroomed studio. We requested a balcony, however we managed to get the only room without one!! The room was big and although the decor left a lot to be desired it could of been a lot worse! We had a few issues with our room, the fridge didn't work even... More

This hotel is stuck in the 70's. Everything needs bringing into the 21st century. No A/C , no fans in rooms. If you need a fan they 'rent' one out to you for €3 a day . The bathrooms , the tiling ,the decor all look very dated.
