it was quiet and safe and clean, my biggest complaint is that you pay $350 a night and you don't even get a beach lounger or umbrella, you have to robbed by the beach people for an umbrella and beach chair. This should be provided to resort clients.

Amazing!! Hotel was exactly as advertised. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway but within a reasonable distance to the tourist spots with a shuttle offered. We had breakfast each morning of our stay which was fantastic with plenty of options. The pineapple coconut juice was delicious and the self serve cafe machine was something we had never seen before. Restaurants on site with beautiful ocean views were delicious. Would definitely stay again if in the Algarve.

Wonderful place by the beach

Very pleasant stay. The hotel is placed right at the seaside. It offers plenty of leisure options. Pools are distributed throught the hotel, so they don´t get crowded or noisy. Kids club is quite bland, so better not count on that! Beach is just right! Wonderful breakfast, worth while. For other meals, food is too expensive and nothing special.

Nice hotel. Did not like the public beach/umbrella rental policy. For a resort of this caliber I expected to have access to an umbrella without paying a large sum every day and not have availability sometimes. I also would have liked to have a cocktail bar at the beach instead of having to walk up to the pool to get a drink. The breakfast was great, the other restaurants were ok. We were given a free drink voucher upon arrival and tried to use it several times and several different bars/restaurants and were either told we couldn't or were told we could not get the beverage we requested (a basic cocktail). Some staff were very helpful, others were slightly rude.
