Very nice hotel. We visited in late November so enjoyed lying by the outdoor pool but swimming inside! Big indoor pool and sauna. Did one of the classes which was good, and played tennis. Broad range of food. House wines were ok and not expensive. Bed was enormous. Only issue was air con was on heating mode and we were too hot, even with it off. Slept with door open.

Don’t go if you have any dietary restrictions

This is not luxury or high end. It’s old. You get what you pay for I suppose. What I disliked about it the most and was completely unacceptable was that none of the meals were properly marked with their ingredients. Huge problem for anyone with dietary restrictions. I kept pointing out to the staff that the symbols on the meal labels weren’t accurate, and they all agreed and told me not to rely on the markers!! So disappointed.

Nice but a little run down. Needs a bit of maintenance here and there. At its peak it would have been amazing. Check out the small private beach just below the hotel but bring provisions for the hike back up. Breakfast buffet is very good 4 stars. Other dining options are slightly limited but you're in Algarve! Also a bit noisy at night for those who go to be early, but this is a place for adults. The staff are the best thing about this place.

Staff are hospitable. Hotel itself is clean and nice, a la crate restaurant and bar were good. But the pool is unusable for me. It’s freezing cold. There were about 200 people around the pool and maybe one or two at a time using it. I couldn’t even get in it was that cold. There is an indoor one that is heated but obviously the outdoor one is nicer Also for the bbq (which we couldn’t try) and the a la carte restaurant you have to book before you arrive as everyone else does and there are not many spaces available. Won’t be back.

It was good! The resort feels a little dated and some things that I would consider basic for a 5 star hotel were missing. For example, I had to request a Nespresso machine and pay for the pods. Slippers and robes also had to be requested. Things like that. Everything was included except for the spa treatments. The staff was lovely, very very attentive. Great service.

Fine if you like resort holidays

Stayed for a long weekend, lots of lovely walks and beautiful surroundings nearby, particularly the coastal path by the hotel down to the beach.The hotel itself was fine with friendly staff and in a nice quiet area. Room was quite basic and the toilet flush mechanism was broken for the stay and kept draining. Good if you like resort holidays, but we spent most of our time out of the hotel, as it was very packed with British tourists. Not a fan of the food but lots of local options nearby.

Amazing location. Great staff. Short walk to shops, great restaurants. The only negative was the food nightly at the buffet was below average and a little disappointing. Didn't make sense for it to be sub par

I booked this hotel because it was listed as "Adults Only" and I figured there would be a mature population of adults which might make for a relaxing vacation. I arrived and the population was more mature than I would've desired. I ended up checking out early.

Beautiful resort. Very quiet and relaxing. Staff were friendly and attentive. The app makes booking services, classes and requesting things like towels or room service very easy. Easy walk to the beach. My only negative comment is that the drink menu that was included in the all inclusive stay was limited and could use more variety.

although the property is in a lovely spot, and the service was great, the food was below par... overcooked and bland If you speak German, this property would probably suit but with only one or two English speaking channels on the TV, it became almost a prison.. Transportation is by taxi for the most part and the place seems isolated if you have no other form of transit. It did not seem to be much about Portugal, which is the very reason to travel there.
