★ ★ ★ ★
No weather data found for [, ”Algarve”, ”Albufeira”, horizontal]
A well-maintained and popular semi self-catering operation which is part of the Portuguese Luna group.
The mundane approach to the property may not provide a very inspiring introduction but the central location and well presented communal areas please most guests.
Although there are limited on site facilities, there is a good variety within 300m of the property.
Exterior
A faded looking white coloured, U-shaped, building with lemon trim. A glass panelled entrance and a fountain with an adjacent pool provides a cheerful welcome and corridors link the accommodation along the back of the building, which is in stages down a rather steep slope. Recessed balconies have blue trim and most enjoy sun for much of the day.
Property type: Aparthotel
Balcony/Terrace: All
Storeys: 2 to 5
Built Year: 1990s
Exterior: U-Shaped building
Interior
The spacious and welcoming large lobby has a games area. The rest of the interior is rather disjointed and the trip to the pool area can involve some austere corridors and a car park transit. A television monopolises the wood panelled bar whilst the restaurant is bright and cheerful and has a corner bar area.
Rooms: 107
Grounds
Tiered lawns are enhanced by small but colourful flowerbeds. The attractive pool area is larger than anticipated for the number of units on offer. There is a good supply of comfortable sun-loungers and the shaded garden has well trimmed vegetation. A calm and relaxed atmosphere prevails and there is very little in the way of external noise.
Location
Area Type: On a sloping site, opposite a public multi storey car park and behind a sizeable shopping centre. There is a good selection of local amenities within 180m, on the resort’s main road and a bus stop is located 200m away. A courtesy bus operates to the old town and beach areas.
Nearest beach: 800m (Inatel)
Public Transport:
200m to Bus
