As we were attending the Algarve 41 Club Ladies Night here on Saturday 11 May, we decided to book our favourite room on the 4th floor for 3 nights as we enjoyed it so much at Christmas and also the previous May. The weather was superb so we decided to stay 4 nights and were lucky to be able to... More

Previously known as The Garbe, Holiday Inn have taken over this hotel. They have invested in it by upgrading the rooms and public areas but have very sensibly kept the same wonderful, delightful staff. The main advantage of this hotel is it's fantastic position right on the beach (not near it, or by it but ON it). The views are... More

Superb reception staff willing to assist with all queries. Location on beach (in sea soon??) with quiet pedestrian precinct at front. Buffet food OK for occasional meals but plenty of decent restaurants in old town. Room was extremely large but without much furniture and was quite dated. Balcony view was spectacular. Fitness room was not very good. Equipment was tired... More

This hoteL is just fantastic so relaxing, The breakfasts are some of the best we have had and we have stayed in some top hotels around the world.

Aramaco is one of the best beaches. And to have a hotel "right there on the beach" is unbeatable. We stayed for 5 nights over the Easter break. The pool was heated, the beach accessible from the hotel, and wonderful staff. "Rodrigues" in the restaurant not only ensured we tried the local deal coeds, but was always at hand to... More

We stayed here in April, our third visit to this hotel. As previously the staff were all very helpful and did their best to make our holiday as good as possible. I was a little bit disappointed that the room wasn't as clean as previous visits. The hotel was very quiet with most of the guests being elderly people on... More

What a hotel! Where should I start? with the location, that cannot be beaten, right on the shore? With all the great facilities? The wonderful service? that fact that all members of staff speak excellent English? Rooms are very clean and spacious. Breakfast was very very good as well!! highly recommended!
