The air-conditioned aparthotel is practically located on the beach, and the majority of the 61 apartments offer a fantastic view over the sea and the golden sand. This is the ideal place with a variety of services to make every holiday or short break unforgettable. Guests are welcomed in a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services. The aparthotel provides currency exchange facilities, lift access, a newspaper stand, a TV lounge, Internet access, a bar and a restaurant. Younger guests will appreciate the children's playground and kids' club, and guests arriving by car can take advantage of the hotel car park.

The hotel overlooks and offers direct access to the beach of Forte de So Joo. It is only 500 m from 'The Strip' - home to the highest concentration of businesses, restaurants and bars in the Algarve - and 1.5 km from the historic and cultural centre of Albufeira. Faro Airport is around 30 km away.

The functional, renovated studios each come with a combined living room/bedroom, bathroom with shower or bathtub, direct dial telephone, satellite/cable TV, kitchenette, minibar/fridge and a balcony or terrace. The larger apartments are similarly equipped, but they feature a separate bedroom. Individually regulated air conditioning, central heating and a hire safe come as standard in each accommodation unit.

In the outdoor complex, there is a swimming pool with a children's pool and poolside snack bar, as well as a sun terrace with sun loungers and parasols laid out ready for use. There is also a heated indoor pool on offer, and seasonal entertainment programmes for adults and children provide some variation for guests. Further leisure options for guests include aqua fit, aerobics, a gym, table tennis, darts, beach volleyball, bocce, minigolf and archery. For additional fee, guests may also enjoy the sauna, massage treatments, waterskiing, jet skiing, banana boating, pedal boating, squash, tennis, pool/snooker, horse riding and biking. Guests can hire sun loungers and parasols on the nearby sandy beach.

Guests may select their breakfast, lunch and dinner from varied buffets. Special dietary requirements are catered to, and individual-specific dishes may be prepared. It is possible to book an all-inclusive stay with the hotel.

Guests can reach the hotel via taxi from Faro Airport (around 30 km away). By car: coming from Faro, take the A22 motorway for 7 km, heading towards Albufeira, Areias de So Joo and the beach of Forte de So Joo. Coming from Lisbon, take the A2 motorway for 7 km, heading towards Albufeira, Areias de So Joo and the beach of Forte de So Joo. Once in Albufeira, take Avenida dos Descobrimentos (the main avenue).
