Hotel Olhão dengan Spa

Booked this hotel via Love Holidays. I was super nervous reading all of the negative reviews of late but wow I needn't have worried. We booked three nights & I can not complain about anything during our stay. The welcome upon arrival was excellent, the room and bathroom was perfectly clean & spacious. The hotel was pristine & in a good location. We were unexpectedly upgraded at no extra cost to a sea/pool view which I am very thankful for. We went out for a walk to get our bearings & upon our return there was a cart with Champagne,Deserts & a lovely welcome card. This minor touch made us feel so welcome & very valued. We asked to borrow an iron & reception kindly delivered us an iron and ironing board with in 5 minutes, I believe kettles are also available at request but we did not require one. Breakfast was lovely & plentiful. The pool was clean & there were always plenty of sunbeds. The water was very cold but this was expected mid-end of September. The hotel itself is just a 5-10 minute walk from the ***** of restaurants and main marina. Olhao it's self appears to be a very poor area, we walked through the back streets & we noticed some of the hotels city view balconies were met with these views. I am very grateful we were kindly upgraded. The area is however under development & does appear to have a lot of upcoming hotels/apartments being built. We caught a ferry to Armana Island & goodness me it was heavenly. For two people the return price was €8.40. We got off the ferry & instead of setting up camp on the beach directly on the ferry port we walked through the town (a good 15 minutes) & were met with the most beautiful white sanded,clear water beach I've ever seen. It was stunning. Beds and umbrellas were available at €10 each & there were plenty of restaurants. Definitely recommend paying a visit !! Xx
