The hotel is divided into two buildings. The one on the beach does not have the same amenities as the other building--for example, you had to walk (5 minutes) to the other building to use the pool or get ice. The bathroom walls are such that turning the light on at night disrupts anyone sleeping, That said, the sea view and balcony right on the beach made up for any minor inconveniences.

Could be so much better
The good things about this hotel are the location straight on the beach, easy walk to old town and the good size of the rooms. What was not great was the fact that despite the hotel being almost empty, they would not allow us to check in when we arrived 45min before the check in time. My husband was feeling quite sick so he had hoped to be able to lay down. Not one of the 3 front reception staffwe encountered ever smiled! The decore in this hotel would be better suited to a hospital. Very uninviting. Our room was large with a great verandah overlooking the ocean, however the bed sheets were too short for the beds so our feet kept on touching the waterproof mattress protector and the quilts had no covers on them. I wonder if they replace those items between guests? No coffee or tea making facilities either in the room or foyer.

Good little hotel right on the water.
We decided to stay at the Inatel at the last moment when we arrived in Albufeira. We upgraded an oceanfront room with a balcony. The room was directly on the beach. It was lovely to sleep with the door open to the sound of the waves and to have a terrace with a view of the ocean. The room is a little dated. But, it’s not tiny. And it’s close to everything and convenient to old town and the shops and restaurants. It was clean, had everything I needed, the AC worked and the breakfast was decent. It’s a good little hotel for the price for a few nights. I was more than satisfied with it and would stay there again.

One star !
This is a hotel for the elderly (60+) breakfast is basic and the same food is served everyday, we got a room with a balcony overlooking the back of the hotel, not a great view so make sure you book sea view. Basic room, full of ants also on the bed so they do bite. Bathroom was a joke, no water pressure in a shower, or the sink. Tennis court and rackets needs a bit of TLC. Pool was good, but needed to be cleaned more often. Reception desk were sort of helpful, but what can u expect from a 3 star hotel. Definitely not coming back!
