United KingdomWe had a very relaxing stay. Staff were lovely, we felt very pampered. There were plenty of sunbeds and two big pools (and one kid pool) to cool down. The hotel has a big garden and it felt like we were in paradise. They have a private path that brings you to Sao Rafael beach (4 minutes walk), with taps/faucets by the entrance to rinse sand off your legs. We opted for a half board, and the buffet dinner theme changes everyday and they were all delicious and very good quality. Overall, we had an amazing holiday, we will definitely be back in the future.
