Senator Huelva
Huelva|1.34km from Muelle del Tinto
We were delighted with our room, but Senator Huelva had a sign in reception saying that breakfast was 8am to 11am. We were on a relaxing holiday so late breakfast was our preference. Arriving at say: 10:10 meant surly staff were clearing away as we tried to serve ourselves to the buffet and were impatient or unco-operative about any requests, for example, for a plate when they had run out. Then reception changed to sign to say breakfast was finishing at 10:30. This meant that from 10am the same carry-on started earlier and the doors closed at 10:30 on the dot. Staff, except for the cleaners, who were lovely people, were unfriendly and distant. Maybe the are paid badly or under stress, but we were there for a week and did not get a friendly word from anyone. WARNING do not use the carpark unless you are a very experienced driver. We arrived at 1am in a rental car from Faro and were put under pressure to pay for a week's parking. I resisted, thankfully, and we used it that night. We had a most stressful experience trying to find parking in a low, narrow, crowded carpark. We spent a lot of the next morning worrying about getting the car out again, especially as it was a rented car and any little scratch would be costly. To make things worse, as my partner was making the third attempt to manoeuver around the bend to exit, the hotel-controlled metal shutter began to descend. We narrowly avoided disaster by driving out quickly but I cannot imagine what would have happened if there had been pedestrians or we had stalled. There is a big, roomy and for-the-same-price carpark just further down the street beside the restaurants.
