This resort is truly a hidden treasure. There are so many aspects we loved; listening to the birdsong from our balcony while watching the sun set, the beautifully designed buildings that blend into the surroundings, the massive rooms with everything you need, the wonderful staff who are friendly and want to make your stay enjoyable (shout out to the friendly maitres d’ and waitresses in particular) and the delicious breakfasts. There was even live music in the restaurant the last night we were there. Yes the road there is a bit bumpy but take it slow and you’ll be fine, all good things take a bit of hard work. If you want a relaxing break this is the place to go.

The property is well designed and comfortable. The pool was lovely but the weather made it impossible to enjoy. The road to the hotel is very bumpy and there were some minor snafus which the management was quick to try and fix although apparently the outdoor lights down the stairs to the rooms has a short and only worked half the time. In the rain in the dark it was quite dangerous so I am sure they will try to get a permanent solution. The breakfast is excellent. Definitely among the best we have ever had and we have visited many 5 star resorts. The spa was small as was the fitness room but it was fine for our stay. My wife and I both had two massages each and one of the therapists was quite good. The other adequate. Both very sweet. We ate dinner at the restaurant 4 out of our 5 night stay. We thought the food was delicious on our first night. I had octopus and my wife had the John Dory fish. We were disappointed the second night. Then we stuck to the John Dory fish with cabbage

It’s the third time we came to this hotel. It’s located in the Costa Vicentina of Portugal, a strip of land with the most incredibly beautiful, unspoiled beaches. The hotel is a 5* facility, new (2y old) with great rooms and a tranquility that is unsurpassing. We will be back

We stayed a week at the hotel. The staff were very friendly, and the room and other facilities and breakfast buffet were brilliant. What could improve a longer stay (like ours) is more food options for the evening (more casual dining options too), clearer roles for staff serving in the restaurant (some confusion there), and a heated outside spa pool. Other than that - really great!

Lovely place

This place is amazing, visited both on high and low season. Beautiful place surrounded by nature, we had amazing star sky from the balcony and could hear the sea. It was a nice and cozy stay even in the winter. The breakfast is amazing. Spa is great even if the Turkish sauna was broken both days and the indoors pool was cold, so there’s bit room for improvement. But the other saunas and cold bath were great.
