Loved the fitness / spa. Steam room, sauna, hot tub and pool. The grounds are beautiful and look right down into the beautiful coves of the shore. Breakfast was great. Room was big. Value is excellent.

The hotel is located exactly where the waves hit the rocks, so you always have that amazing sound in the background, which completely made my day, every day. I slept with balcony door open and was dreaming like a baby. I just wanted to stay 2 nights, but because of the beautiful sound of the ocean and the amazing view, I booked one more night, and then another one. Because of low season, the price was also totally ok, I was happy that I have found this hotel and I will come back for sure.

Great Location!! The pool deck area has spectacular views of the Algarve coast. Great pool and access to some nice beaches. Very clean and well maintained. I was hesitant about reserving the hotel given some mixed reviews. It was my wife's favorite hotel for our entire Portugal vacation.

Love all the spa options there. The pools, jaquzi, sauna and even a bathtub in my room. The sea view from the hotell couldn't be more close up and beautiful. Several beach options just a few minutes walk away, same goes with the restaurants, while the closest city is about only 20 min walk away. Excellent location. I feel very refreshed and satisfied after the whole stay. Thank you!

The hotel appearance is not appropriate to a 4 stars hotel and do not honor the beautiful place where the hotel was. Frigobar is empty and it is difficult to have food 9even water) in the hotel. No room service. Towels are old. Bathroom amenities are poor and air conditioning system do not work properly, etc. The hallways do not have cooling systems and smell bad. The breakfast, despite have many itens lack quality: no fruits and no natural juices.

“Nice, but wouldn’t stay again ”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 4 nights

Service - the staff is nice overall, but there are definitely things to be improved. At seasonal peak, things are extremely slow. We had to wait for 15 minutes at check out for our things to be picked up, eventually took everything on our own, as we were in a hurry. Check in wasn’t really friendly, it looked like they were super bored to do anything. Breakfasts really require improvement. In terms of variety - I think it’s ok, but the quality is really low. The cheapest yoghurts and pastry (we stayed at smaller and cheaper hotels in Portugal and pastry was always amazing unlike this place), the juices - I won’t even mention it, horrible. I only managed to order fried eggs once in several days, as the guy was always not there. One time I asked a staff member if there will be a cook, and they just completely ignored me (talk about service). Overall, the hotel is very dated. Yes, the rooms are spacious, the bathroom was ok, but everything looks like it was “once a 4-star hotel”. At the moment it definitely is not worth 4 stars. We are satisfied in general (the amazing balcony and pool territory saved our experience), but please don’t view this as 4 stars, it’s not worth the price (over 150 euros per night) - I believe the service will be way better at smaller hotels.
Nice location, just above a nice beach, close to several good beaches & Benagil caves. Great clean pool, with many sunbeds, overlooking the ocean. There were always sunbeds available, even though we were there during seasonal peak. Our room was spacious and clean with a bathroom that looked renovated. We were very lucky, as our room had a huge balcony with 2 chairs, a table and 2 sunbeds - really enjoyed staying there at sundown.

The is no parking and the surroundings might get busy during the summer days. I always found parking on the street, but sometimes had to go around. I didn’t like our check in, it gave me wrong impression about the staff, because during our stay everybody was very nice and helpful.
Very clean, comfortable and silent rooms. Location is great, a few minutes walking to the beach and some local restaurants. The see view from our balcony was amazing. I liked the pool area, nice to relax. If you have car it’s a 15 minute drive to some breathtaking beaches and water parks.
