Holiday Inn Algarve - Armacao De Pera, An Ihg Hotel, Armacao de Pera

I was pleasantly surprised by the clean and comfortable rooms that didn't cost extra; however, the shower was quite small, and the lack of choice in balcony view was a minor downside. The service was a mix of lacking in customer care at the reception but quick to address issues, and attempting to enforce new parking conditions. The location was lovely and modern with some steps to navigate, yet the pool bar and beach proximity were excellent features. The dining experience was generally great, with a delicious buffet and annoying queues at the hot drinks machine. Overall, a satisfactory stay with some minor drawbacks.

My husband and I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the room was fantastic with a small terrace and a sea view, the persistent smell of Indian food from the restaurant below was quite bothersome. The side sea view room allowed us to hear the ocean, which was pleasant despite recovering from our health issues.

My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were very clean, the staff was friendly, and the breakfast was adequate. However, the noise from the bar area was a bit disruptive at times. The location was wonderful, right on the beach, but some room amenities were not as spacious as expected.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had fantastic views and were very clean, thanks to the daily efforts of Veronica, but the noise and smells from the restaurant were a downside, especially when my husband and I needed rest due to health issues.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms are standard Holiday Inn style - clean and pleasant, the lack of functional door locks was concerning. On the bright side, the staff provided a safe environment by following appropriate safety protocols.
