Luna Olympus

First of all look for the hotel Olympus. It is not Luna Olympus. The hotel offers a great location in the centre of Valmoura which was an ideal location for us. We hired a car and drove around the Algarve. Recommend a visit to Silves and Alte with all its narrow streets and charm. The hotel is close to the marina, shops, restaurants, golf courses and the coast. All the hotel staff were welcoming and very helpful and spoke English. The breakfast had a good variety. The room size was plentiful and had sufficient cutlery and crockery if you wanted to dine in. Our room had a balcony with some views. Our room had a sofa bed in the main room which we only used as a couch. However this was not very comfortable. A safe deposit box is available at 1.5 Euro's per day (Jan 2010). Overall we had a great experience through our six day stay and would return and recommend Olympus Hotel and Valmoura.

The uncomfortable sofa bed as a couch.

excellent value for money

front desk could be a bit more friendly - especially the men

Very high standard of comfort and excellent (very helpful) staff, particularly Lilian-Hoey-Manuel
