The pool and the room, very clean hotel. People were very nice. Bar of sushi was also very good, for sushi lovers. They have a big shower room with two showerheads!
PortugalVery pretty, lovely facilities except the wood floors, desks, etc were a bit shabby. The hotel was very clean clean except for something that looked like mold in a small corner of the bathroom.
GermanyAside from the property being aware of this covid-19 pandemic, i have to say that The garden is very nice and the magnificient view from your way to the beach and most of all the staff for the breakfast are very attentive including the waiter from the restaurant when we eat dinner who accomodate us and explains everything that i need to know about the food,place and etc..
SwitzerlandEverything was great. As we are are in a different situation with covid 19 we expected less than the hotel offer. Breakfast well organised staff were all very pleasant with us and we felt secure. Our room was spacious and with a nice sea view. We had a great time in S Rafael Atlântico and we hope to come back soon :)
PortugalThe hotel itself has beautiful ground. Room is huge, Breakfast has lot of varieties but qualities are just ok. Love the easy access to the beautiful beach. We're there in Dec, so not too many people at the beach. Can imagine that it will be very crowded during the summer months. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and were able to relax and make use of the facilities available.
United States of AmericaAwesome room, very spacious and clean. Hotel is right at the beach, with access to both Sao Rafael and Arrifes. Fantastic beaches!
United States of AmericaThe trip was honeymoon of my husband and I, as I informed the hotel, they decorated the bed for us. It was cute. Really appreciated.
JapanBeautiful property and ground, quite rooms, very comfortable and spacious bed, very spacious room and balcony, beautiful view of the ocean from our room, proximity to beautiful beach via beautiful stairs, walking distance to a wonderful restaurant and bar, less than 10 min driving to old town center. Great breakfast buffet with many selections
United States of AmericaA modernist hotel with a lovely pool and sunbathing area and direct access to a beautiful beach. The bedroom was large and very comfortable, with a partial view of the sea. The breakfast offering was substantial, everything two of eater is catered for. Chilled prosecco also available for a breakfast mimosa to those celebrating (or not!). The Mediterranean Restairant was excellent and would recommend over the buffet dinner.
IrelandThe resort is one of the best in algarve. Good facilities and location. Good reception staff. Good spa.
