Popular with families
This resort in Portugal's Algarve region was popular with families, especially those with younger guests in tow. Small visitors loved the kid's club and for many, the pool area - which is kept to a high standard and boasts plentiful sun beds - seemed to be the social heart of this hotel.

Good for beach, handy for town
The nearest beach for this resort is at Cabanas, which can only be reached by boat. Thankfully, this hotel offers guests transport to and from the golden sands of Cabanas Beach absolutely free of charge, a perk which many appreciated. Additionally, many found that this resort was well-situated for exploring the nearby town of Tavira.

Tired and dated throughout
A number of guests commented on the tired and worn feel of this property. Rooms were noted to be dated and some public areas - especially the footpaths that connect different parts of this complex - were felt to be untidy and overgrown.

Poor in-room amenities
Rusty dishwashers and dirty fridges were also points of contention at this hotel. Others noted chipped enamel in sinks and tubs.

Noisy by the pool
Noise was an issue for some here, especially those who weren't part of a family group. This was especially problematic by the pool area, which some were dismayed to find was filled with young children and their parents.
