Hotel was a good standard and the 2 bedroom suite we booked for 4 golfers was more than big enough for our needs. Three balconies and a sun terrace area was a nice surprise. The Restaurant was good offering a variety of food throughout the day. The bar was a bit basic (for the all inclusive) unless you wanted very strong very sugary cocktails. Location is about a 10min taxi drive to Albufeira old town which suited us but probably too far to walk.

Hotel fine but definitely not 5 star. Breakfast was pretty poor and evening food was very limited.
