Rooms were old and in need of an update. Food quality was adequate. Stayed at several all inclusive hotels over the years and this hotel was on the lower end for food, amenities, and services. Location was walkable to beach and a close bolt/uber ride to old town albufeira. Would only recommend if looking for a low end all-inclusive hotel stay.
