Amazing location by a secluded beach and gorgeous sunset views! Lovely pool, breakfast with champagne and the rooms were clean with super comfortable bedding. Restaurants close by but have to drive.

Sarah United States of America

Beautiful resort but road leading to it is slightly difficult. I believe it’s worth though! Cute rooms but best of all the scenery at the beach!! It’s a good central location to get to the other towns in the Algarve. The breakfast was great!!

Emily United States of America

The place is very nice. With a breathtaking view. But Bcz of the COVID was not many things to do. Even the indoor pool was closed.

Fabi Mongolia

Rooms fit for family, ideal for 4. Excellent breakfast. Beach in front hotel is beautiful and invite for a trekking. Morgadinho, hotel restaurant is very good with a reasonable pricing.

Marcelo Brazil

Room was a full apartment! Should spen$ more time here!

Nanda United States of America

Location and views were outstanding as was the staff and food.

Robert United States of America

We stayed for six nights in a two bedroom apartment equipped with a kitchen and good size bathroom plus a spacious living room. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were great. Beds were comfortable and WiFi connection was very good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The resort has two pools and sufficient number of lounges and umbrellas. It is very close to a beach on the ocean. Nicely landscaped with great views of the ocean from the resort.

Dragomir United States of America

The hotel's cliffs lead to the Bengali Caves..what a spectuclar treat to go to the caves on foot

Sarah United States of America

Comfortable beds. Small kitchenette was a plus. Quite luxurious. Not for a budget traveller.

Geraldine United States of America
