This was the best hotel we have ever stayed at in Europe. The grounds were beautiful, the whole atmosphere was so relaxing and peaceful. We could always find a sun lounger and whilst the food was priced on the higher end for Portugal we didn’t eat a bad meal. We cannot wait to come back already!

What an extraordinary resort! From the moment we checked in, the staff was friendly and very helpful. We stayed on the 4th floor with an ocean view. The balcony is very private with not only an ocean view but also of the town closest by that outlines the beach shore. The grounds are spectacular! If you are looking for a romantic place to meander amongst secret gardens, secluded beach, lounge near several pools and couples cabanas with impeccable service, beautiful grounds that are manicured and feel like a tropical paradise, this is the place!
