Beautiful resort. Rooms a little older but bathrooms and decor are modern. The pool area and views are incredible and the elevator to the beach is a real plus. Quick drive or Uber to old town of Alvor with incredible restaurants. The real plus was the level of customer service from the front of the house staff. They are knowledgeable, offer great recommendations and so helpful. Would highly recommend staying here when in the Algarve.

This hotel is situated on an absolutely gorgeous beach. Lots of areas to explore right at your fingertips. Breakfast was excellent and service friendly. The only issue was AC. You have no control over it, and it shuts off whenever there is no movement in the room (ie. whenever you leave during the day or are asleep at night). During a heat wave this made sleeping very uncomfortable.

Lovely hotel overlooking the beach. Staff were very welcoming. Very pleasant walk into Alvor along boardwalk. We were given an upgrade to our room which was a nice surprise. Breakfast had a great selection on offer. We preferred to eat in bar as opposed to the buffet in the main restaurant. Very enjoyable stay overall.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A live pianist at breakfast is nice to have but this one was very idiosyncratic, meandering vaguely around tunes in a bizarre and eventually tiring and annoying style. The worst outdoor feature is the towels which are old, not very large and extremely poor quality. Sunbed mattresses would be a great asset to improve the comfort as the pvc is taut and not fir for relaxation or dozing. Nightly entertainment is so sadly typical of the local generic singer or couple playing amateurishly and extremely loudly to generic backing tracks, and with poor diction let alone mispronunciation of lyrics, which together emphasise the artistes' mediocrity. This puts off many residents except those who have low musical tastes and high toleration levels. PLEASE don't employ those with backing tracks who can't perform on their own or who insist on far too loud volume which simply makes guests' conversation in the evenings impossible. Evening/bar managers urgently need to take this in hand. Food is excellent and staff helpful. A greater range of pillows other than memory foam would help and the air-conditioning needs finer adjustment. You need a car to get into the town restaurants, which are excellent and good value. Those arriving after 10 pm will get a very inadequate room service meal as well as losing a day's sunshine. Pool water is clean and the beach is great. With a little imagination this hotel could be a 5 star and has the location and staff to make it so. Shaded parking is a plus.
