"What a poor experience I booked expecting it to be like the photos the room stinks like old people no tv in bedroom not what we expected I went to reception to complain they didn’t cair spoke t ok the director he told me to deal with it where stuck here for a full week we wish we stayed at home we would of been more comfortable come here if you want to feel unwelcome stay in a stinky room that looks nothing like the photos and deal with rude staff that really don’t care oh and to to it off there was ants in the bed oh wait there’s no quilt just this itchy brown blanket we are sleeping in our clothes because it’s a nasty Dirty place"

"We chose a one-bedroom efficiency apartment as part of a package from Portugal getaways. The room was dark, dank, and in need o f updating. It was awful. Old Plastic chairs stacked in tiny kitchen. Curtains hanging loosely on bedroom windows due to missing rings. Stiff upright couch in main room. And on top of the unwelcoming look — it just didn’t feel clean. We asked for another apartment and the not-so-helpful woman at the front desk told us all their rooms look like that. We are seasoned travelers and don’t mind the simple European stay - but this had not been remodeled since the 60s and was an uncomfortable place. We booked our own hotel for the three nights. If you have a choice — don’t choose this place!"

"Location is terrible! Unless you enjoy walking 55 mins to the local town this place isn't for you. The staff are pretty rude and unhelpful. Rooms are very very basic, beds, sofa are uncomfortable and theres no warmth from the blankets provided. If you don't understand Portuguese then you won't be watching television. The walls are paper thin so if you enjoy a peaceful sleep you won't get 1 as you can hear everything from each apartment. The hotel offers no tours or anything like most hotels. The tours are very limited in the area, with carvoeiro only offering 1 or 2 basic tours. If you want somewhere local then I suggest you don't book here as you will end up walking miles or paying for taxi everywhere. Pretty disappointed as some reviews make it sound very good, but in theory it's 2☆ at maximum."
