Amazing hotel in a beautiful location!

This hotel was a highlight for our trip through Portugal. The room was very spacious for 3 of us and we had a nice terrace that overlooked a beautiful pool. The breakfast and bar service were wonderful. At breakfast, one of the staff members gave us recommendations for 2 beautiful beaches to visit - Salema and Arifana (need a car to reach both but both are stunning!). This area is quiet and had a calm/relaxing vibe. The restaurants in town are very nice! We definitely plan to return and highly recommend to anyone!

My friend and I stayed at this property, and despite check in taking some time (we were early), we really loved our room. We appreciated the space of the rooms, the nice shower (only wish it was a bit hotter), smart tvs. Having a kitchen was a nice touch although we did not use it much. The breakfast was simple but perfect due t the daily slight changes they made. There is a hotel cat that roams around, esp first thing in the morning but they say she is friendly otherwise. The only thing we felt was lacking was 24 hour front desk. We left pretty early on our departure date without true instructions on what to do about the key or check out. We did arrange transport from the hotel to the airport, so it would have been nice just having a friendly front desk to make sure it was correct for us as well. Overall great place, and we enjoyed the Algarve Region.

Also I don’t feel the amenities listed on Expedia matched hotel. There was 1 restaurant/bar-no beach bars on site and pool bar was the same indoor restaurant/bar. Expedia description needs updating.
