"We originally looked at booking in vilamoura ,but wanted something closer to the beach , this hotel fitted that bill perfectly, the location was fantastic in proximity to the beach, it was right in front of the hotel, we did bed and breakfast, the breakfast was very good, the rooms were really nice , and the cleaned daily , we had a sea view, which was lovely, staff were really friendly and extremely helpful, I can only find one negative, unfortunately the pool area was a bit small for the number of guests for the hotel , and beds were quickly taken , and quite tightly packed together,the hotel does have its own beach area , and you can book loungers and parasols , at the beach hut , for 15 euros a day , for 2 loungers and a parasol, we found this to be better than the pool area for us , but that was personal preference, on the whole I would definitely stay here again , Quarteira is a nice enough resort ,the promenade area of quarteria is lovely."
