Before arriving, there was great communication from the owner. I planned to arrive late in the evening and he was ready for me when I got to the property. The view from my room was spectacular. I had a balcony on which I was able to eat breakfast (an extra charge, but it was delivered to my room and was fantastic.) The sunrise over the water was divine and I couldn't wait to walk down to the beach to see the water up close. If you want access to the beautiful Algarve region, this is a great hotel to visit. Also, on the property: tennis courts, a pool, a game room, quiet spaces, and outdoor benches to view the water. I immediately regretted not booking more time at this fabulous resort.
