It is a beautiful resort. The pool is beautiful and it is close to restaurants. The bikes were a great added bonus. My only issue is that housekeeping missed our room one night. But otherwise a beautiful relaxing resort in the Algarve.

Great for family!

I just had the wonderful time staying at this family-friendly villa, and I cannot praise it enough. The environment is just gorgeous, providing a serene and picturesque setting that truly makes you feel like you're on a dream holiday. The staff at the villa are exceptionally friendly and professional. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcomed and attended to all our needs and they are always contactable by WhatsApp!

Spectacular Apartment!

We had an amazing time. The property was beautiful as was our apartment, it was very spacious, modern and super clean. We also can’t say enough about the staff s as bad how friendly and helpful they all were. The reason I dropped the comfort rating to a 4 is because there was an issue with the hot water tank on our last day and we had to shower in the next apartment. They did try to have it fixed right away and thought it was fixed but it turned out not to have been.

Overall enjoyable stay. Hotel is obviously trying to deal with Seagull problem and has a hawker with a hawk most days to scare them away. However despite this seagulls congregate on outer apartment blocks. Beware when sitting outside your apartment, the seagulls poop! When hawker not there, seagulls congregate in numbers in swimming pool which is a hygiene risk

Nice small property. We visited off season so the amenities were not all set up yet. They were working to get the landscaping up to par. The villas are nicely decorated and kitchen is perfect. It is very quiet. Short walk to beach, Lord’s Bar and small grocery store.

Great attention to detail

Had a great time staying in this quiet resort. The villa was superb, lots of room and extremely well designed, with real attention to detail. Quality fittings and furnishings throughout, very impressive. The pool, spa and facilities were similarly delivered to a high standard. The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. We stayed for two nights as part of a week touring around, would definitely have been able to stay longer. Happy to recommend.
