Real suprise
The hotel is a real surprise! It reminded us of Asian hotels where you are surrounded by palm trees.
Reception is light and airy and the staff super efficient

The hotel is great, the staff are very friendly and attentive, the food is excellent. There is not much to do in the area, particularly without a car. Reservations are recommended for any of the local restaurants.

Hotel staff were amazing. I arrived at the beach hotel, I was booked in at garden side. They promptly took me to the right one. Ordered room service. Was plentiful and quick. They have a beach shuttle service and towels at the beach. Only thing I had to pay for sun lounger but the lovely boy at the beach let me pay for half day as I was there that long. Overall I would stay again.

The hotel was a bit confusing to get to. It is however located in an upscale area of the Algarvae region. The hotel seems a bit dated for the amount charged. The rooms are simple, i.e no frills. Not what I had expected for the cost. The breakfast was very good as well as the food at the restaurant. Concierge was very attentive. Overall, it was a decent experience leaving me a bit underwhelmed

Unusual hotel, parking poor
An unusual hotel, with no proper restaurant, but my room was enormous and good facilities. Parking was very limited so sometimes had to park on the street which is not ideal

It was a really nice, family friendly hotel that looked after us very well. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The only downsides were the slightly isolated location that meant we had to taxi it to all of the local restaurants and the lack of a suitable evening option for children in the hotel restaurant.
