We have just spent 8 days in this hotel, we had a very large spacious 2 bed apartment room no 196 which had direct access to the swimming pool.
The pool itself was large and spotlessly clean. All members of staff we came in contact with were very helpful during our stay and those we didn’t such as those that made up our room who did a great job I would however like to mention and thank Carla and Anderson who on the reception. They very pleasant and helpful. Vina at the bar she was always very cheerful and with the a lovely smile.
Would certainly recommend and we will return again.

If you want rest, peace and quiet, this is not the hotel for you. Noisy dogs in the neighbouring houses, the walls and floors are very thin and so you can hear other guests in their rooms and along the corridors.
Breakfast is basic while lunch and dinner are very questionable / inedible if your palete is very seasoned.
Rooms were nice and spacious however they lacked condiments which you would expect with the calibar of hotel its meant to be.
Some staff at the reception were helpful and polite. Serving staff Diogo and Jeremy were professional, attentive and patient. Cleaning staff did not pay attention to detail at all. Rooms were cleaned daily but alot of vital things were missed.
Good pool facilities available and massages offered on site was good.

Cool place to stay, nice pool and in walking distance to nearby beaches. Our room was fabulous.
We didn't like the food to much though
The breakfast was basic and the pizza was bellow average. But there are great restaurants in town.

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights in September and to describe it in 1 word, I’d say “vintage”. The hotel definitely was a great place I’d guess in the 80s or 90s but it now seems like it’s frozen in time. That does add a bit of a charm and nostalgic factor but at the same time is a little lackluster.
The staff was all very nice at the front. We checked in, but once we got to our room the AC wasn’t working. We told the staff and they sent a technician to go look. He said that it was an internal issue and that they wouldn’t be able to fix it. There was 1 room open and they did offer it. While it had a working AC, my wife and I still preferred our room and since it was on the third floor, the window being open let in a nice breeze.
The two biggest issues of this hotel is:
1. The layout. It’s like a maze trying to navigate anywhere that’s not right near the check in desk. You’ll go up down left right and still have no clue where you are.
2. The restaurant. We didn’t eat much of the free breakfast besides some pastries, and we had lunch upon arrival which was okay, but the dinner is not worth the price. The food is 100% microwaved. I got a steak that was still very very rare on the inside, and my wife got a lasagna that had no beef and could tell that it had just come out of the microwave with how hot the bowl was all around, and with the cheese being melted straight onto the bowl like a microwave does. There’s a lot of different restaurants nearby, so I’d just go eat at one of those instead of the restaurant on property

We had a really great stay at the Aqualuz. Breakfast was fresh with lots of options. Facilities were great (especially the fitness club). The self service laundry would have been nice but both washing machines were out of order when I went to use them. What I did notice is that many guests ‘reserve’ pool loungers in the morning by placing down their towel, then the seats go vacant for most of the day until those who reserved them decide to sit down. This results in the majority of the loungers being ‘reserved’ even though nobody is using them. It would be great if the hotel could be proactive against this by stating a firm first come first serve policy. That’s my only concern. Otherwise great hotel option! Great location!
