Club Amarilis

"An excellent quality/price ratio Excellent location Very close to the beach 🏖️ Varied ementa with excellent quality Pancakes and chocolate were missing for the children at breakfast, it helps a lot Great civic spirit at the pool, nobody reserves a sun lounger If the price doesn't go up much, we should come back next year"

"I have mixed feelings about this hotel as there are some good points but also some bad points so this is a bit of a novel. We were all inclusive. The location is ideal. Just a 10minute walk to the beach and main street with lots of bars, restaurants, tourist gift shops and small supermarkets. We had a one bedroom apartment and the rooms were a generous size. The kitchen was well equipped and had all the crockery and utensils you could need for self catering. The apartment was very dated but it was cleaned every day. Clean towels every other day and clean bedding on the 4th day. The bed was really comfortable. The bathroom (which had a shower over the bath) could do with a change of layout as the toilet was a little too close to the vanity unit. The shower was really good. The pool area was lovely and had an attendant on at busy times and we had no problem getting sun loungers, although we did get told off for throwing a soft ball to each other in the pool. The food was average. It was only just warm but there was a microwave to heat it up if you wanted to (not ideal but the option was there) but there was quite a lot of choice and we always found something to eat. The desserts were lovely. The pool bar food snacks were limited but were ok. The staff were friendly and work long hours. The indoor bar, located at the entrance to the dining area, only had 5 tall tables with tall chairs and was only open during meal times so not great. The pool bar was open until 11pm (with the exception of breakfast and evening meal times) and at 10.50pm the barman told us we could get another couple of drinks but we would have to take them to our room as the bar area would be locked. We felt like we were being sent to bed. The gym,sauna and indoor pool we didn't use but believe there is an extra charge for them. The tennis court was only used twice that we saw in the full week we were there. There was no atmosphere at all which is a shame because I feel that they could do so much more with this hotel ie update the apartments, have an on site entertainment team for pool games/water aerobics/children's and adults evening entertainment etc. Also leave the pool bar open for an hour as pay as you go when the all inclusive finishes. Most guests don't want to go to bed at 11pm but also don't want to go out to bars at that time either. We didn't have children with us but there was only a very small play area for kids. Do I feel like we got good value for money? No. Would we go back? To the area, yes. To the hotel, no The Bolt app was very useful for taxis to visit other areas and were very cheap."

"Magnificent, spacious, and very clean apartment; services live up to its reputation; excellent cuisine; very hearty and diverse breakfast; the staff is helpful and very pleasant; thank you all for this discovery of Portugal."
