El hotel está muy bien, para ir al centro de Albufeira hay que ir en coche entre 3 y 5 km aprox. pero al estar apartado es un sitio muy tranquilo, y no el jaleo que es el centro, lleno de pubs, bares y gente pasando durante toda la noche. Tiene al lado la playa de Maria Luisa, muy bonita y a la que se llega andando en 5 minutos. Además, la zona es 100% recomendable.
