It is close to almost everything, shopping mall, restaurants, bus, taxi, and about 10 minutes to the airport. I have been using this hotel for several years more so when it is time to leave Portugal for home. I can take the bus from Algarve and get off the Oriente bus depot and walk to the hotel. The hotel can get a taxi in 5 minutes for the airport that averages a little over €10 fare. Convenience is it!
