Its clean &modern but not 5* its a bit disjointed and confusing with lifts and blocks. We were lucky we had an amazing view, but lots didnt. We had ants in our kitchen area and bathroom. Only 1 restaurant in main building was all inclusive the other 2 werent - which is nothing ive heard of! Cant get a drink from a paying bar, have to go upstairs to get served! Ridiculous- nothing for children to do of an evening so they seem to get in the way of other guests, or staff, but a 5* would have an area for them to be, its sold as all inclusive and for families.

Nice hotel with lovely staff and great facilities. It is showing its age and a little tired in some areas since our last visit 7 years ago. The hotel has changed hands and in new ownership. Pool and most areas were very clean and tidy. Dining options are limited and expensive so we dine elsewhere but the breakfast was plentiful and fresh.

Very quiet, relaxing and nice open spaces. We had a suite with patio/terrace and it was so nice - a great interior space with a mini kitchen with high end appliances and a giant exterior terrace with lounge chairs. I'd say the only negative was the truly terrible pizza at the on-site pizza restaurant. But that's easy to skip by driving up to Monchique for better food.

The property was amazing but we had one night with out any air conditioning and had to follow up multiple times to get it fixed. Till the last day it was not cooling properly. I feel if you pay so much, and come for a special occasion you should be able to enjoy a good nights sleep. Other hotels would usually comp something or the other but there was no adjustment made.
