Really liked this hotel, visited out of season (February) so it was quiet, peaceful and with great service and a beautiful setting by the sea/beach. If I was nit picking I’d say that it’s a shame the pool wasn’t warmer and that it was a shame there were no spa facilities on site and included in stay, eg sauna / jacuzzi. Also the tennis courts looked shabby. Most people are here for the golf however which doesn’t disappoint although be aware there is no shuttle bus to the local course (vale do lobo) which is a 5–10 min (walk with golf bag) and the shuttle bus to the other two courses nearby isn’t regular. Most people seem to hire a car so maybe not enough call for it. Finally, out of season the food options locally are limited , an excellent restaurant in the hotel and only one restaurant open within walking distance by the beach.
