We recently enjoyed a fantastic stay with our family! The newly refreshed room was spacious, perfect for us, and the breakfast selection was impressive, especially the local pastries. The added bonus was the stunning coastal walk to the nearby beach, making our mornings that much better. Definitely would choose this place again!

We had a wonderful week enjoying the outdoor and indoor pools, and the spa was a great retreat. The sea view from our room was stunning, and the breakfast selection was fantastic—definitely a highlight! Staying with our two dogs made it even more special.

In my wife’s opinion, the lack of a kids’ play area was disappointing.

This hotel hit the spot for our week-long getaway. The location? Perfect! Just a 15-minute walk to the town, and the coastal paths are stunning during sunset. My room had great sea views and was spacious, with controllable air conditioning. The pool area is fantastic with a vast garden full of sun loungers and hammocks, so we never had trouble finding a place to relax. Breakfasts offered a great selection, among the best I've had in Portugal. Friendly staff made our stay even more enjoyable, especially the bar team. A few minor drawbacks, the indoor pool required a swimming cap for use, which could be inconvenient, and some outdoor furniture looked worn. The gym, while functional, really could use some updates. Still, I found the place to be a solid choice for a relaxing holiday.

100% recommend

I enjoyed the buffet for breakfast every morning. The coastal walk from the gardens was a nice way to take in the scenery. My balcony offered great views of the sea just like the gorgeous restaurant. The nearby beach was an easy stroll down the hill.

The indoor pool was not accessible without a swimming cap. Some outdoor furniture looked worn and the tennis court needed attention.

Oh, the breakfast buffet was a feast for the senses, with enough options to keep any foodie satisfied! Plus, every morning, we got a front-row seat to a little gray cat’s antics while lounging poolside. Those newly decorated rooms? Pure bliss with killer sea views!

While it was handy to have a small kitchen area, we were left high and dry with zero cups or utensils to make it useful. Also, a couple of modern touches like power sockets on both sides of the bed would’ve been a game-changer.

The room was spacious and nicely designed, with a large living room and a private balcony offering stunning sea views. Breakfast was delightful, providing plenty of options made from organic products. Unfortunately, some items in the room were lacking, such as kitchen utensils, and the indoor pool required a swimming cap which was inconvenient. Additionally, outdoor furniture needed some maintenance.

exceptional hospitality and unforgettable birthday surprise for my daughter with delicious breakfast

The staff went above and beyond, making our daughter's birthday special with a thoughtful surprise. Enjoyed the beautiful area and spectacular beaches nearby.

The pool area was enjoyable, but the Wi-Fi was very poor.

I loved the pool and spa facilities. The coastal walk was stunning, and my room boasted amazing sea views.

great amenities, but room layout could improve

The resort has everything for family fun, including game rooms and an impressive indoor and outdoor pool. The buffet was diverse, providing enjoyable meals for both adults and kids. I especially loved the unique room design with a half wall separating the beds. it added a nice touch to our stay. The views from the pool area were stunning, making it perfect for relaxing afternoons.

Had a wonderful time enjoying the peaceful pool area and indulging in soothing spa treatments during our stay. The facilities offered great relaxation options like sun loungers and a lovely garden space. Just a minor note, the breakfast service could be a bit quicker, but it didn’t ruin our overall experience! 🌞

Breathtaking ocean views, proximity to cliffside trails, newly decorated rooms

Noise from live entertainment disrupted the experience!!! Poor bathroom maintenance could certainly use attention!!! I expected better gym hours and a larger bar fridge!!! Overall, a bit more care in upkeep would go a long way!!!
