Had such a great stay here - really impressed overall. The hotel was lovely and clean, the room was perfect, and it was so nice having the pool to relax by. The location is ideal too, just a 10 minute walk down to the waterfront. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Such good value for money as well. Honestly couldn’t fault it and would happily stay again.

A wonderful little hotel in an ideal location. Room was lovely and the hotel was super clean. The staff were amazing and the breakfast was great (I'm a vegetarian.) Pool was so nice, and also very clean. Close to the town centre, harbour and famous markets. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Bus stop less than 1 min walk away, train station about 4 mins walk. Ferries about 10 mins walk to nearby islands. Highly recommend this hotel, and will definitely return.

We had a lovely stay in Olhao. The hotel breakfast was a good way to start the day, and a dip in the clear cool water in the pool helped us to recover at the end of the day. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
The only issue we had was the absence of sockets in the kitchenette. There was a kettle and a toaster, but nowhere to plug them in.

Outside there was a really lovely pool with sunbeds round and another seating area up a few stairs overlooking the pool free poolside towels supplied and I think the hotel also provided seaside parasol to be used off site, although we didn't use them. The breakfast as as as expected with all that's needed.

What an amazing property! I. Cannot put into words how wonderful our stay was. Starting with the front desk, to mention a name, Marta was great to us, she provided it all the information that we requested regarding restaurants, activities and transportation around the area. But in general ALL the staff is great, always willing to help (we even borrowed an umbrella from one of the nice ladies). If you do not have a car the train station and bus stations are just around de corner.. in the morning you woke up with the smell of fresh baked bread and the breakfast is really good with some tasty little pastais de nata. We will stay there again without hesitation! We are looking forward for our next stay!

Absolutely Fabulous

I wanted a week away alone and chose this hotel as it was not large and impersonal.
The hotel is in a superb position right in the town itself. The public transport is excellent with the train station just five minutes away as is the bus station. The staff in this hotel are so helpfull and friendly and will do anything to make you stay memorable. Breakfast buffet is good with a large choice of items.
There is also a pool on site not massive but so convenient if you want to stay in.
Olhao is now a must for me I will be coming back again. When out and about it's very safe and all the Portuguese people I met were so kind and helpful. The hotel and place get a gold star from me.
Dont forget to go on the ferry to visit the islands nearby as there is no beach in the town.

The hotel is very convenient for guests using the train or a bus, as it is very close to both stations. It is a bit of a walk into the waterfront area, but should be manageable for most people. I stayed in a studio that was more like a one-bedroom apartment. It had a well-equipped kitchenette that opened into a nice living space (with a large sofa), plus a good shower room. The bedroom was a bit compact given the (large) size of the bed, but it was not a problem. The studio had several windows facing the pool area. Staff members were very nice and helpful.

Pros:

-Very friendly staff who all spoke English
-Close proximity to the sea, fantastic restaurants located everywhere
-Housekeeping very prompt and did an amazing job
-Pool an amazing addition, clean.
-Very affordable, can't get a hotel in Leeds cheaper!

Cons (not many to list):

-Air con just would never turn off, not even when pressing the off button
-No toothpaste or deoderant provided in rooms, easily sorted though.
-Looked like someone had a tantrum in my room, a dent in the wall and black marks on it too.
-What I can only describe as mould in the shower, however couldn't be smelt, probably caused by condensation

I would stay here again, due to the price, location and friendliness of the staff!

The top sheet was replaced but it was clearly both else was, I could see a little spillage I made from the night before still on the sheet.

Pool area nice, we were told one day the pool would be closed for a few hours as it was getting cleaned due to suntan lotion! Towels provided for sunbeds. Very loud woman next to us on the beds one day shouting to her mother on other side of the pool when everyone else was quiet. About a 5 min or so walk to train station, 10-15 min walk to front.
