older but charming hotel in a very good condition, great location on a rocky plateau over the Sea (great view) and very friendly staff. Easy to reach the beach by a flight of stairs, there was a lot of people. Hotel is slightly off the beaten path from the town centre (about 5 minutes walking), so very quiet. We'll be back! read more

Sites like view from the tiny balcony with minimal ocean view, totally tired room, floor tiles broken and/or plaster patched, doors with paint and dirty, mini bar available in the room, and moldy joints in the bathroom. That was the situation at arrival. When we complained at the front desk was reacted only, since we became a little louder. First, we were fobbed off ' that the lady at the reception for the hotel is responsible, a manager arrived after about 15 minutes scream in the lobby. We were given another room the following day, but this was on the ... ground floor to the pool, the view clearly what, however, the patio door wasn't lockable-this lack was repaired in spite of a complaint. read more

    Breakfast was good, but one-sided. The evening meal was ok. Unfortunately the choice is limited. There was always only one type of fish and one type of meat. The replenishment of crockery and food can take a little bit. Fresh fruit and ice cream are on the card but it was not available. When I asked for it, you got gelächtelt unfortunately no response!!

All in all it is a well arranged hotel with 3 floors. Guests are mostly young and older couples from England and Germany between mid/end of Twenty to about 60 There were no kids in the area. So it was very peaceful. The hotel is, in my opinion not 4 star - also in the category of the country is less then 2-3 stars. Although outside it makes a good impression, however, with the rooms substantial deviations regarding location. They had rooms with terrace and private pool chairs and rooms with balcony and sea view (some of). We had a ... very small room with a view of the dark garden in the inner courtyard, didn't use it.

    The room was very small and had a view to the dark garden in the courtyard. There was 1 balcony, on the 2 people just were. It wasn't cleaned. There were clean towels every day, but smelled these sometimes a lot of chlorine. The room had a/c including. You have to pay for the safe. As the cleaning lady a forget to lock the balcony door, it is strongly recommended to rent a safe. Although there is a tiny fridge, but no mini-bar. The mattresses were totally worn out and extremely soft - back pain! There was 1 small closet with a few hangers for 2 people. As the closet smelled musty, we hardly used this out of your suitcase" and "lived. A shame, since you are in a 4 star hotel not like that sort of will be shut down. The bathroom was very light and relatively large. But there were hardly cleaned. Furthermore, it was - as the wall-mounted tissues box was empty to simply folded out and a roll of toilet paper placed soon. This box was very dirty. This is as mentioned in not a 4 star standard. Most negative to rate is that the water in the shower didn't drain and everywhere, in shower, fittings or sink, scale.

    There was 1 restaurant, 1 bar and a snack bar by the pool area. We have booked the hotel incl. breakfast. There is a large selection of different bread rolls, but all tasted as if they had been aufgebacken not ready. The strawberry jam tasted musty and has also looked accordingly. The following replentished with 1. Round washed in the kitchen, but sometimes still leftovers on the Glasrändern and were still wet. To the odd tasting Semmelvariationen there was pre-packaged, fatty sausages. (That you prepacked, on the high gloss seen unappetizing. ) There was pre-packaged cheese slices, scrambled eggs with and without the ham, baked beans, bacon, fried ham, fried champignons and baked tomatoes. In addition there was fruit salad and - positively highlighted - also cut fruit and vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber freshly cut). We loved the breakfast overall little delicious and very monotonous. In the restaurant only serves breakfast and dinner. The evening buffet costs 28 Euros per person. so we never used it. Please note: evening there's no food a la carte! At lunch you could eat at the snack bar in the pool area. However it was very overpriced. Spaghetti Bolognese for 9 , - €. A magnum ice cream cost 3 Euros instead of, - like everywhere in the place about €1.50 . Tip: for lunch in the main downtown (approx. 10-15 minutes) to eat. The hotel has no room service way.

Positive hervorzuhebender service: free towels for the pool area, which you could get from the front desk.

From a 4 star hotel, the appropriate room rates may require as a guest, I would expect at least a clean room.

    The hotel is in a great location. The airport was about 45 minutes. There are about 20 minutes walk from the hotel from a Intermarché (big supermarket). The lovely beach was just a short flight of stairs from the pool area. Along the beach walk to town center. Although it is very touristy and not very nice, but there are several good restaurants. Get the best at the hotel reception the map of "Freemaps". Here are some restaurants with descriptions. Tip: go into the Hera-restaurant. Very fresh fish and great friendly service! As opportunities for employment in Armacao De Pera were very limited, you should plan excursions with the rented car. We booked our rental car already in Germany. It is cheaper than the local travel agency to book and stress free. Tip: the "loop" of Praia da Praia do Amado Bordeira to leave. (Pontal/Carrapateira). Very impressive rock formations and huge, very nice beach.

    The rooms were much too narrow too small. Due to the absence had to counter all things and luggage on the floor, so that only small track was possible. The bathroom couldn't be used for two, because the square was missing. The air conditioning, TV and fridge were ok. It was only a outlets were available. The room was never renovated or renewed. The tiles on the floor were badly damaged. The fresh air of the room through the narrow balcony window was hardly possible.

    The beach was only a few steps away. You would have to only a steep down the stairs and it was immediately on the beach. The hotel is located right on a cliff, so you can have a fantastic view of the Atlantic Ocean. Entertainment possibilities in the place was poor. Overpriced local, no discoteques, only so-called bars. Without a rental car, you lost in the place. The place Armacao de Pera is characterized by an extreme Hochhaussiedlung, the a poor impression. Excursion possibilities were just outside of the town. Offers from the hotel were much more expensive than if you put a lot of effort. In some local and also on the beach promenade we made with cockroaches!

    There was a buffet for breakfast and dinner. It wasn't as extensive as we have experienced in other hotels, but, it's only a small house and, therefore, you could also not exceptional buffet. The food is of course a matter of taste. And it tasted with a few exceptions, we never went hungry. The prices for the drinks were mixed, water is relatively cheap, while you have time for a bottle of wine 18 Euro stays. It was a lovely sitting on the terrace and the sea views at the snack bar.

    The direct beach didn't bother us so much, he was especially on the weekend very crowded, but also with lots of locals. Along the cliffs one could walk from the hotel added to 2 other smaller bays the nice and was not crowded. Unfortunately the quality of the water of the ocean was not so great, there were a lot of seaweed available then pass on a sticky. The place is a tourist stronghold Armacao de Pera, many English and Portuguese, everything looks somewhat primitive. We are not Partytypen, so we enjoyed the quietness of the hotel. Excursions could be best with rental car companies. We are a couple of times with the public buses, but that was adventurous. It's worth it, many towns in the area had a lot to offer. Definitely a boat tour with one of the fishing boats on the beach and a walk along the cliffs to the little chapel do!

    The pool area is very nice and presentable. Sadly even here often crockery and full ashtrays from the day before to find. In about 1 km away there is a supermarket. After 24 hours in the room minibar drinks are also the "already" cold. The fitness center consists of a rusty device which in my opinion on the rubbish bin.

    The hotel is a small area which was in the area around the pool is very nicely decorated. On the back fountains which unkempt condition. The hotel was under German and English tourists. This hotel is an ideal base for excursions due to its central location in the Algarve.

    The place near the hotel are a Hochhaussiedlung the to Berlin-Neukölln reminds. However, the beach from the hotel immediately reachable and for excursions which can only be recommended this hotel is very good. We had a rental car for 11 days in the Algarve and there is a great deal to explore but we certainly do not seen all.

    The rooms are small but functional. The air conditioning worked perfectly and sattelite TV with was adequate with 6 German programs. The mini-bar you could refill ( different "packages"), hallway to the supermarket is but much cheaper and none of us had something about it. In-room safes can be rented for a small charge. All in one: completely enough!

    Here, too, the staff was very friendly. The restaurant (breakfast and dinner buffet) was well arranged and not too crowded ( is a small hotel). The food was ok, every day for breakfast there was everything that one needs: fresh fruit, yoghurt, scrambled eggs etc. got refilled and was always an ample supply available. Jams, butter, honey etc. were in blocks and was so very hygienic, the Marmeladenauswahl was unfortunately very limited. For dinner there were always 3 dishes to choose from (international cuisine with local flair) the except one night all were delicious. A neat salad buffet and a variety of dessert ( cakes and tarts) rounded out the evening walk to restaurant.

    The transfer time from the airport was very short (45 km, usually via the highway) and therefore pleasant in the van balance. The beach was just across a Teppe from the hotel (87 steps) but you through a great view of the Atlantic Ocean and the rocky shoreline compensated. East-facing however is the view of Hotelbettenburgen less beautiful, but the only side comment. Shopping possibilities were good. It has lots of little supermarkets and cafes ( very great designed new beach promenade), in the other direction about 1 km away there is a large supermarket also open throughout the day. We have to take some points as already mentioned only for the ugly hotels nearby, but the rest is really stunning.

The location of the hotel is really fantastic above the cliffs. The way to the beach is steep stairs, that's why it after five minute bottom. During our stay the hotel was about 40 % occupied. This was very nice because you always a space on the pleasant breakfast terrace. The selection of evening meals was compared to other 4 -star hotels modest, but the quality of the food was good. We once had the possibility and at the Pestana Viking dinner. Quality and choice of food were identical. This hotel is a great choice for excursions by car as ... Lagos but also the most southwestern great Portugal well within reach. We had a rental car for 4 days, the remaining three days we visited the surrounding beaches explored on foot. Since the hotel no entertainment offered, it is definitely worth Armacao explore on foot at night. There are great restaurants and nice cocktail bars at a fair price. If you are looking for a holiday without entertainment, this is your place. read more

    Closer to the water you couldn't !! The beach was exactly 90 steps from the pool area of the hotel the easy in 2 minutes to bewätigen. A walk takes about 10 minutes. On the beach there were beach chairs and umbrellas cost extra. The shopping, we highly recommend especially mineral water !!, with two supermarkets are only 15 to 20 minutes away. Bottled water can already something more difficult. In the neighboring hotel Garbe Mietwagenangebote are the cheapest age of 60 and older. -Euro for three days. Plus a risk of 6 ! -Euro per day. Better to the Algarve is worth a visit if time to get to know a car for three days. ESSOUIRA offer many interesting excursions, Lisbon. You can be a little more affordable than booking with the rep booked at the front desk. You should inform at exactly, whether a German travel agency on the tour with us!! The main resort of Armacao de Pera didn't have anything special to offer except for a leisurely stroll to the dinner. It is a fishing village we could have stayed longer, but the building boom but also not over. It's a pity !! Small fisherman's houses within there's still and also the typical Portuguese restaurants, it needs to be in the side streets and are not only on the "Touristenallee" hiking. Fun for everyone!

The hotel features 88 rooms in a nice location on a rock PLATEAU. We had a room with a direct view of the Atlantic Ocean - lovely. When we booked we were told that these rooms more cost, but we were lucky enough to get a room so no extra charge. When it comes to the rooms with partial view of the sea but the balconies smaller. The cleanliness was impeccable and the staff very friendly and attentive. There was every day new shower gel/shampoo and everything else was good. We booked half-board and not regret it. The food was ... good and there was something for everyone (fish, meat, pasta, Salat ) - Of course repeated meals, if you there for 2 weeks, but you can eat very much. The half-board was just a little more expensive than if you only booked breakfast (we have 80 Euro p. P. pay a little more; the price for dinner at the hotel at least 28 Euro). You can either on the sun terrace or in the restaurant food. The atmosphere is pleasant and due to the fact that the hotel is quite small, there were no "led eventually to wrangling" to contend or at the buffet. The guests were mainly German, but also English, French and Dutch. The public is more "quiet" and the average age structure is 45-50 years of age. read more

    The transfer time from/to the airport is approximately 45 minutes - Faro is so very stress-free. The long faces could be reached by stairs down the rocks - you can walk on the beach about 8 km - lovely! For a fee, one could book there deck chairs. We never used the pool, because we either (where towels and beach chairs including were) or out to the smaller beach bays. These can be reached via a go for hourlong with great view! The place Armacao de Pera is quite small, but it's restaurants, supermarkets, bars, etc. available as well as a nice beach promenade. The hotel is about 15 minutes by foot (either along the beach or in the street). The architectural sins the '60s/70s BEHAVE time not hide but that's the case in many southern countries and places. Not as nice, but nothing unusual. In Armacao de Pera there are many "rdos", but no hotels, but mostly Portuguese condos, which on the weekends and holidays inhabited. Then it will full of on the beach and in town. The prices in the supermarkets and restaurants are OK and cheaper than in Germany. Our minibar was always well filled: -) There are some very good restaurants where you can enjoy excellent fresh fish! But we also hired a car for 3 days and so we looked at some places/landscapes (U. A. Albufeira, Lagos, Silves, ... ). This is definitely recommendable.

    The place Armacao de Pera is extremely ugly. Awful concrete block vers ** en the landscape east of the hotel. West but there is a nice rocky coast. Shops and restaurants are in the city center, about 10 minutes walk away. Entertainment possibilities are here but limited. There are several restaurants, where you can eat good fish and a few bars.
