Great hotel staff, poor location

My W Agarve stay in January was largely for quiet relaxation and writing, and in this regard this hotel was OK. The views of the ocean are fantastic from the room and the staff are great. My only reason for not giving a higher rating is the location. This is probably the least walkable area of Portugal I've seen in many trips to this beautiful country. The beach accessed on the property is tiny. There is no walkable beach area near the hotel. There is a sprawling suburb around the hotel and no real area to walk for restaurants or shopping. I'll not return because of the location. Staying in the Algarve again, I will find a place that is more walkable.

The hotel and staff were quite lovely during our stay. Unfortunately, we went during the low season and I definitely do not recommend doing that. There wasn't much to do in the surrounding area but that isn't really the hotel's fault. The one thing I will say that was not satisfactory at the property was the breakfast. For £35, I expected at least a little bit better of an offering from the buffet. Everything was quite stale and not many options. We elected to purchase the avocado toast which seemed more like an avocado spread than actual avocados (Avocados seem difficult to get in this region of the world as I have not had great luck in Europe in general finding fresh avocados like you can in the US). Other than that, I highly recommend the property as the rooms were extremely clean, very large, and the design is quite cool. It looks much better in person than it does in photos for some reason. Also, the staff was so friendly as you come to expect when visiting Portugal, it's just a totally different vibe from the people in the US and other parts of Europe.

Decor of the property is really nice, its ultra modern and fancy. Food at the pool was really average and there were no lifeguards at the pool at all. Generally staff were great and we had a great view of the sunset from our room. Hotel restaurants were very good - food at Paper Moons was a highlight and live singer at Market Kitchen was wonderful. Shuttle bus to local sandy beach was good (it has a nice beach club restaurant) - nice plus point. Gale beach 10 mins down the road was better beach however.

Lovely stay at beautiful hotel

Excellent hotel. Very friendly and efficient staff. Top notch service. The room was beautiful and spacious. Balcony was amazing. Breakfast had lots of variety. Hotel restaurants were also good The hotel wasn’t really walking distance from anywhere which was a bit of a shame and food at pool could have been better but otherwise great stay.
