It’s good value for money. Not an expensive resort and the room is large. The food choice for breakfast is quite good and it is near to the beach.

Nice place to stay near the beach. Good view to the sea from poolside. The jacuzzi area is old, the bubble jet bath non functioning. Spa front desk reception lady may need some guest caring training.

* Great living accomodations - very spacious and clean. * Excellent location with a short 7 minute walk to beach. * Pools are convenient, but the salt water pool turns into "day care" every afternoon.

Very remote location but the hotel is excellent. Beautiful rooms although they need some way to keep housekeeping from constantly knocking. Salt water pool is a bit chilly but the view is wonderful. Short walk to the small beach

6/10 Good

They had a great design idea but poor execution or maintenance. Shower walls with mold and water build up inside, broken drain slab. All minor things, but it made this 5 star hotel feel like 4 stars. Food wasn't the greatest, but not bad. The only thing I was upset about was them ignoring the "do not disturb" sign, as they got in the room regardless to make the bed and touched our stuff that was on top of it. We were there for only 2 nights and didn't need room cleaning, so we kept the "do not disturb" sign on. Thankfully we weren't in the room when they came in, but I was still upset to find out they ignored the sign.

Beautiful location away from the crowds; great breakfast. Getting there was a bit challenging (curvy two-way one lane road) but worth the effort. If you enjoy cliff hiking, this is for you!

Remote, But Great Place
We loved the apartment, though it was a bit too jammed with furniture. Very comfortable. And the location, just a short walk to the dramatic limestone cliffs and a small, beautiful beach in the central Algarve was perfect. Less than perfect? Just getting to and from the hotel on the narrow, winding one lane roads is an adventure. And unless you never want to explore the area, you have to drive in and out since there is nothing nearby. Also, this is a very family friendly resort, which is fine, but it does result in a lot of infants, toddlers and young children running around and crying in the restaurant/breakfast room, so anything but peaceful.

Stayed for two nights at this property, our first stop in Portugal arriving from Spain. A very nice property! Small but cozy, it has everything needed for a great vacation…breakfast buffet, options for lunch and dinner, a small bar, two swimming pools plus the beach is less than a 5-minute walk away. Rooms have been recently updated, very nice decor and comfy beds! Special shout out to all the staff, from the guys at the reception to the staff at the restaurant everyone was great!!
