Hotel Golden Club

The beach could be reached after a short boat ride across the lagoon. The shuttle back worked quite fast. The place Cabanas is undecorated too. A few shops and restaurants but are not particularly attractive. The next town is Taviera. town was lovely, which in many places in dire need of a renovation, but needed. However if you fancy stores in vain. The walk to the large tourist centers is very far. One's looking for something more entertainment is you in cabanas wrong.

The staff was friendly and mostly hard. The complaints at the reception were just ignored us, though. We had booked a double room with an extra bed. The single bed was a hinged Liege. That would be not terrible so far, were from the mattress was not the metal handed out. We have several times at the front desk asked for exchange the mattress, but no luck. We rotated and poorly from-padded, to make our junior could sleep there. Room service was a disaster. I liked the at the beginning given tip in hindsight sorry.

For us it was a ray of the hotel. The number of bars was adequate, the service was friendly. The meals in the restaurant were always tasty. The choice wasn't that big, but tasty. There was always a fish and a meat dish with different trimmings and large salad buffet. A soup and diverse appetizers rounded the meal. Of course there was also here travelers who are only french fries and pasta with ketchup almost exclusively, and to see the creations of home-made salads with fish and meat not trust. They have missed out. Fresh fruit was always available.

We found the morning morings a chance. The pool-attendants were dependent on in the morning, the unused beach chairs to vacate. Therefore there after a late breakfast space at the pool. The sports activities weren't so good. The exercise equipment in the gym partly broken, the tennis court in a bad condition. The entertainment was very friendly and hard-working. Unfortunately they were partly funny for the evening shows.

Our room was in the main building, which we had bad luck. It was spacious, with a small kitchenette, balcony, TV, but unfortunately had the furniture was already seen better days. It was very much outdated, the bathroom had no window, nor a fan, but mold! Other travelers had booked the same category, but more lucky. They were really enjoyed their rooms. It could have been but it did not bother us, if it had been cleaned. In the bathroom, hair & dustballs were despite cleaning 14 days in the same spot!

Holiday's always a matter of taste. If you want to make a family holiday at reasonable costs, ready had fantasies about the various flaws, this all-inclusive hotel not be disappointed. All inclusive hotels are in the Algarve just rare. But if you like to explore country and its people on excursions and happy at night time by a place roam, for the the hotel was just too remote.
