Nice family hotel
The hotel is about 50 mins transfer from Faro Airport. Check in was quick and easy and the room was recently refurbished so this was a really nice surprise. The room can be cleaned everyday to a very good standard if needed. However the noise at night is horrendous. I feel for families with young children as you can hear every door, every exist, every conversation from people getting in later than yourself, so bare that in mind. The other thing I would point out is they charge for you to use the safe in the room! We found this absurd!
The main Restaurant is good, has plenty of seating but does get extremely busy at peak times. We went to the other buffet restaurant down by the kids pool but they didn’t have anywhere near the same choice of foods. They change the dinner theme everyday and there is some really nice dishes, but with any all inclusive it can get repetitive at breakfast and lunch.
The pools are great, good size and lots for the kids to do all day. The slides were all open and ques weren’t too bad for the little ones to wait, only 5 minutes roughly. All pools were a tad cold to be honest but that’s only our opinion. Plenty of sun loungers but be prepared to get in line at 850am if you want a decent spot and an umbrella for shade. They do some fun daytime activities like water polo and the foam party was great fun!
Beach is gorgeous but no shade and very busy. You can hire 2 sunbeds and a parasol for the day for €22. There’s a lovely beach next door if you go through the tunnel cave to the right. More space on the beach but no facilities like the main beach.
The entertainment at the hotel is pretty poor all round. The entertainment team try their best but it’s not up to standard of many other AI hotels we’ve experienced. They start too late imo for a family with kids. The kids show at 830pm is also very poor. Repetitive and nothing beyond some dancing and rubbish games. They really need to look at the whole show package as they could do so much more to add value.
I saw this mentioned before on a review and now it makes sense. They try to charge for so many things on top of your stay. Most of it isn’t worth it or overpriced. Here is a short list of some of the additional things you can spend your money on - room safe, professional photos, hotel tax, hair braiding, popcorn, candy floss, arcades, vr, bouncy castle, trampolines, high ropes, funfair games, giant water balls,
We left the hotel one night to go on the Land train which cost €5 each for a return, but getting a return is a little confusing where and when. The local town is definitely worth a visit as it has lots of shops, restaurants, and bars.
Overall it was a nice family holiday but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

Amazing
Amazing. The hotel is so clean and tidy the cleaners and staff work really hard. All staff were friendly and helpful, they were brilliant with my children. The food was constant and choices of pools to change it up. I was so nervous coming as I come on my own with my two children but within a few days I felt so at ease and relaxed I even made friends for life with other families. Thank you for making our trip enjoyable and memorable. Honestly such a good hotel and would definitely recommend to anyone
Fabulous and great value
Great hotel, which exceeded our expectations. The staff were all so lovely and friendly. They work so hard and there is never a plate or cup left anywhere and everything is spotless. The rooms were an ample size. The location was perfect, being only minutes from the most beautiful sandy beach with water sports and boats trips. The food was fabulous and great for kids and adults. Beautifully cooked fish and salads every day and never any queues. A lovely terrace to eat outside. We had no problem getting a sun-lounger at any point, despite us being late risers and it being school holidays. We had a wonderful time.
Wonderful family resort ⛵🌊
I more than happy with the hotel. Every time I felt on the edge of being disappointed there was an immediate solution. We had a double plus sea side view room with All Incl. Room was newly decorated, furnished, clean, with a brand new bathroom. Nothing was clogged, hair-dryer was good (my daughter has very long hair), plenty of towels, good cleaning services. As for the sea view, let's say it was ok, I am more delighted with the couch and table and a free glass of Bandida de Verano on a spacious room balcony. Food- is delicious, various, in abundance 24/7. The main building dining facility is always full, so I recommend the one near the pool. Three or four snack bars serve beverages and one serves food and hot beverages. There is always smth to eat for kids. The is a restaurant with a different quisine every day. Activities - are mainly in the morning. There is a kids club, aqua fitness, yoga, etc. on weekends there is fireshow. There was always enough space in each swimming pool and the slides. There was always at least one spare lounge chair left. Location - it's 10 min walk from the beach 🏖️ which is good for keeping you in a good shape regarding all the food above. Thus, we drove three beaches in a row and found out that our Praia Nova was the cleanest and the most suitable for kids. My husband went snorkeling 🤿 there and had a positive experience. Unfortunately there were no changing rooms anywhere on the beaches so get dressed in advance. It is a must to have a boat tour to the caves 25-35 euro (depends on the time) . There are multiple opportunities for water sports. Personnel - is friendly, hospitable, helpful and genuinely caring as well as locals. Thank you, I really appreciate that. Wish everyone a lifetime holiday!
Not the Child friendly experience I was hoping for.
Room was lovely, clean, spacious. Food was 8/10 very organised. Bar drinks and staff lovely. The only thing I would say disappointed me was the day kid's club. My 3 year old wanted to play, he was only allowed in the super hot baby room sparse of any toys worth playing with, there was a group sitting outside on playdough table and the girl said “it’s french club only” typical rude french people and not very inclusive. Then at the mini disco my son was excluded, the man said “this is too complicated for him” fair enough but at least have something else going for the little ones. Very rude and to be honest it broke my heart, we are on holiday to have fun and he wasn’t allowed to do anything, was all for the older kids. Wouldn’t recommend if you have children YOUNGER THAN 3.
