Loved everything - the beach, especially and the spa.

Hands down the property, the rooms, the pools and beach are amazing! Everything here is the definition of relaxation! The service is amazing, especially when you order room service or anything for that matter, they are speedy and polite. They even have espresso machines in the rooms! The views from the hotel and beach are just amazing. We traveled in September but the pool and ocean were freezing although at times refreshing due to the scorching sun on your skin! The food was all amazing and the wines fantastic. The only downside is the options for dining are limited to 2 restaurants, one higher end and one lower end but by no means lower end, just slightly less expensive! The food was expensive but hey your on vacation why not! Dinner for 2 with wine could average around $130-$150 not including tip. And with that you need to try the sirloin or tenderloin, delicious and cooked to perfection! The only con I have is there just isn’t any night life, yet they have the grounds and space to do so! Just not very active at night except the restaurants! So very quite if that’s what your looking for. Walking into town is too far, you’d need a taxi which they are happy to arrange. Definitely have to try a night walk on the beach, very worth it and bring a camera! Shells everywhere and makes for a perfect take home. The bathrooms everywhere in the rooms and around the property are clean and well thought of. Felt like I was plopped off in an immersion of Algarve paradise!!

AMAZING place. Customer service was above and beyond. Most beautiful property.
