This hotel lives up to its 4 * almost exclusively through its location / view deserves. Just like already mentioned, is the entrance to the hotel directly at the beginning of the old town. The rooms and balconies are all with a direct view of the sea. Sensational. The room furnishing and balcony furnishing. (plastic) is rather simple and certainly not worth the 4 star rating. Hotel bar looks nice, but is, or the few people who are as evenings enjoying it, had clearly retired people already reached! (But not bad, Albufeira offers enough). The staff is professional friendly but not overly friendly. They didn't speak German. The breakfast is very much geared to the mainly English tourists (fat streaming ceiling water leaks bacon, beans, chips, etc. ). It's worth getting up early (breakfast room was definitely not point 10:00 closed). The breakfast area itself had the faded charm of the 70 's ... But at least you there was hard, fast to clean the tables and again to prepare for the next guest. We didn't have dinner option. But you could easily and about the same prices as in Germany in the area. The old town of Albufeira is however, also here very on the English tourism. Great is the local along the cliffs toward the port (highly recommended the O' transparencies = fresh fish, very delicious). Otherwise you had to know that the local day and Abendpreise. Example: During the day one liter of sangria 10.00 , and in the evening €15.00 €! That is what I call modern Raubrittertum! The beach is beautiful. (bright and fine sand). The bay is also for a small (about 30 min) walk. Tip: rent a car and the coast to Sagres, or visit einheimischer (mountains). Great!!!
