Hotel was nice and had a great pool. The staff was terrific! . The bathrooms were outdated and dark, and the beds were hard. Yes the hotel is within walking distance to the beach, but fair warning it’s not close. Especially when you are walking back and it’s uphill and hot.

Very nice & clean. Nothing to complain. But there is no multi plug facilities. So we need travel adapters for our charging facility. And restaurants & shopping centre little away from the hotel but Uber is not expensive. We loved the environment and the service as well as the food.

Would stay here again. Great facilities, staff are helpful and friendly. The hotel is within walking distance of the beach and walking along the coastal path can take you to other beaches nearby. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but the pool cafe had a great range of classic dishes such as lasagne and bolognaise. The spa is lovely offering a range of different treatments. We had a great stay!

1st visit to Portugal
Overall the property was just what I was looking for and it was perfect. The service at the pool restaurant was unexplainable. Despite going everyday I could never get anyone to wait on me despite plenty of staff. They would bring menus and take other people’s order hole I was just sitting there. Then, I would go to the bar and order but they would never come by to see if I needed anything else. As I stated, the whole experience was unexplainable. Otherwise the property was great and Portugal was beautiful. My trip was prepaid and I was surprised to learn at check-in that a tourist tax had to be paid. I don’t remember this being explained when the reservation was made.

6/10 Good

One of the ladies at the food area was extremely rude. She told us we could not get coffee as it was not included in our package. We were willing to pay, but she brushed us off. A very basic hotel with no option to get water/coffee/snacks unless you pre paid for the meal option. A little far from the centre as well.
Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

The hotel is far from everything so you definitely need a car or taxi. The hotel was nice but couldn’t even get a coffee if you didn’t opt in for the breakfast plan, which was disappointing (even though we would’ve fully paid for the coffee).

This was our second visit to this hotel and it did not disappoint. We can only think of positive things to say. Cleanliness is outstanding, the staff work non stop to ensure that everything is first class. The area is quiet but there is still enough to entertain even if you have no transport. We will definitely be back, cannot recommend highly enough.
