Lovely hotel, with friendly staff and great facilities. The general manager is very approachable and made sure our trip was going well whenever she passed us. We will definitely return when next in the Algarve and would recommend for a relaxing break.

We had the best time visiting - it was great to just sit by the pool and head down to the beach when we fancied it. The restaurant prices were expensive but ultimately for the convenience it was okay. We would come back again!

Fabulous hotel and very friendly helpful staff. My only complaint is that the spa jacuzzi pool was too cold , everything else was great.

10/10 Exceptional

We were a couple on a five night stay in late September 2026. Beautiful resort - impeccably maintained and very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was very good with a huge assortment or food, nicely presented and very fresh. We enjoyed a cappuccino every morning as well. The gym was very large and well equipped. We did not use the spa area. The beach access was super convenient and was lovely. The ocean was much warmer than we were expecting which was a nice surprise. Underground parking was clean, well lit and easy to navigate with a smaller vehicle. Tip - don’t try and hike along the shoreline from the beach to the marina - it’s impassible near the end and pretty steep.

Lovely property, right on the beach. Not a private beach, but still beautiful. Accessible for walking along the cliffs. Not much nearby in terms of restaurants and shops. If you want to eat out most evenings be prepared to pay for taxis.

I would’ve loved if ingredients and allergies were displayed on the app to order food and on the cards for breakfast. Reallyyyyyy enjoyed the complimentary happy hour bottomless wine and the complimentary yoga/pilates classes. Private access to the beach was great, honestly no reason to leave! Cant wait to be back and will be posting on socials about it.
