Super hôtel

Mooi hotel maar door vele jet ski’s op het water kom ik er niet meer. Dat is jammer. Het is een mooi hotel op een prachtige plek. Kamers zijn goed en schoon. Ontbijt erg goed. Maar die jet ski’s. Verschrikkelijk. Als je op het strand voor het hotel ligt dan heb je er vier vlakbij herrie maken. Net of je bij een formule 1 wedstrijd zit. Zeker als de wind aanlandig is. Dit moeten ze per direct verbieden.

Despite some positives our overall experience with this hotel was not great. The hotel (and their travel agents) are advertising 'deluxe' rooms which are not deluxe in any shape or form. In hotel speak there is a difference between 'standard' and 'deluxe' with the latter indicating more space, better view etc. Our room looked onto a car park. No view of the gardens or sea and simply as seen in the picture. When we complained we were told to contact our agent. And given some useless corporate waffle about 'lead in rooms'. Most worryingly the receptionist described the room as 'the cheapest view' and wanted the around €800 euros to upgrade. The room we had was costing €299 per night through Sunway. Additionally we were told we would have a three hour wait for our room to be ready upon arrival. Rooms are not ready until 3pm and this appears to be non negotiable. You can get changed in the Spa toilet of you want to put your bags into storage. Apart from the view, and the general tiredness of the room (peeling bathroom door) there was an additional 10% service charge for drinks at the bar/pool. Just to pull the pint or pour the drink. We also had three out of six days when our room and the neighbouring rooms were made up by three pm, meaning we had to request maid service. To be fair about it thisproperty has a lovely garden, some nice features, decent location near sea and boardwalk and a few EXCELLENT staff members but the overall sense was that reception staff were disinterested and service was minimal. I would add that the town of Alvor is a taxi ride rather than a walk and though the fare is only €4 or so, there are no paths to walk along if you go on foot. Breakfast was fine. Is this hotel living up to it's four star service and potential? I would say definitely not.

Top-Lage direkt am kilometerlangen, wunderschönen Sandstrand, Feksküste três irmãos wenige Strandgehminuten entfernt. Viel Platz im tropischen Garten, trotz Hochsaison genügend Liegen, die man mit wirklich viel Abstand stellen kann. Liegenreservierer gab es auch nicht so viele. Das Frühstück war exzellent, die frisch zubereiteten Omelettes waren die besten, die wir je in Hotels gegessen haben!!!!! VIELEN DANK AN DEN SUPERFREUNDLICHEN OMELETTE-KOCH, simply the best!!!!Auch das Obst war frisch und superlecker. Alkein die Qualität der Säfte konnte da nicht mithalten. Wir haben uns im nahe liegenden Supermarkt Orange (Nomen est omen) immer frischen Orangensaft (500 ml für 2,95 €) besorgt. Das Abendbüfett war sehr gut,allerdings konnten die Hauptgerichte nicht mit dem ansonsten hohen Niveau mithalten. Leider wurde kein Fisch speziell gegrillt. Die Zimmer waren geräumig, ließen keine Wünsche übrig. Die Betten super bequem, mit 2 großen Kissen. Geschlafen wie ein Murmeltier. Wir hatten im 3. Stock Zimmer mit grandiosem Meerblick. Alles in allem uneingeschränkte Weiterempfehlung.

Adoramos! Já vamos à 3 anos seguidos, sempre na mesma altura e sentimo-nos em casa. Vamos sempre com meia pensão e as refeições são óptimas, este ano ainda melhor.
