Trip Advisor - “SIMPLY THE BEST”
Date of review: 26 Mar 2011 - New
Having spent many holidays in the Algarve this was our first stay in the resort and we loved it.
We have stayed in many Holiday Inns but this has to be the best experience. The location is so wonderful, a step from one of the best beaches on the coast and the sea view room balcony provided many relaxing hours just taking in the view.
Tea and coffee in the room was much appreciated as was the free daily afternoon tea complete with cake served in the lounge with beautiful views. Wifi was free in the foyer if you have your own PC. Small touches but much appreciated.
The breakfast was good quality with plenty choice. The staff not invasive but attentive when needed. Check in was speedy and the staff really helpful. Free parking was also provided though may be an issue when hotel full. The pool area is not large but provides beds and an additional seating only area at a higher level. Layout geared more to couples than families.
We used the RAJ Indian Restaurant attached to the hotel and it was brill. Staff so helpful and the food delicious.
The pedestrianised walkway into the old town allows for a gentle amble in the evening with a supermarket en route and we enjoyed the food on the main road at Daves where fresh fish was lovely. On the opposite side of the road to the left of the hotel is a really nice snack bar selling huge ice cream and cakes etc .
We do not often return to the same hotel or resort but we will certainly make an exception for the Holiday Inn. It provided everything we needed for a relaxing 5 night stay. Thank you to all the staff and in particular the Manager who made us feel very welcome throughout our stay.
