    great children's club

    The children's club offered fantastic activities throughout the day.

    The main restaurant had long wait times for drinks during busy periods.

    Great rooms, terrible food!

    The spacious room offered a nice view, and cleanliness was consistent. The pool area was relaxing. however, the food was disappointing. Many dishes were lukewarm and felt repeated from previous meals, lacking the fresh cooking options typically expected from a five-star hotel. The staff was friendly and willing to accommodate special requests, which made the stay better.

    interactive entertainment
    high-quality food

    Recommend it for families looking to relax

    The food was surprisingly good, especially the quality of the dishes served at dinner! We had this wonderful experience where the kids loved the reptile show near the pool. It was interactive and kept them entertained for hours, while I was able to finally sip that cold drink by the poolside!

    It was a bit pricey for what we got, but still manageable.

    excellent food
    live music
    friendly bar
    poor cleaning
    small gym

    The food was of excellent quality and catered for all needs. I enjoyed the live music nightly, and the bar area was lively and friendly. The pools were nice, and I spent time reading while soaking up the sun. I took a short trip to a nearby town that had many shops worth visiting.

    Room cleaning could have been better, as some items were not replaced or refilled. The gym was small and limited in equipment.

    We enjoyed our stay! The family room was spacious and well-kept. The indoor pool was a nice feature for kids. The buffet had great traditional dishes too! If back, I'd choose this place again.

    Great stay with a few hiccups

    We had a pretty good time here! The pools were lovely and the restaurant offered tons of tasty options. Staff was super friendly and attentive, which made our stay better. Just wish the WiFi worked in the rooms and not just the lobby—kinda annoying for a place that claims to be five-star. Overall, comfy vibes!

    large pool area
    fun activities
    stunning coastline
    food temperature
    coffee-making facilities

    Had an awesome time with friends! The large pool area was perfect for relaxing, and we loved the activities offered, like tennis and archery. Two nearby spots we enjoyed for their unique scenery were the stunning coastline and the new Algarve International Circuit. Overall, a great experience!

    The only downside was the inconsistency in food temperature at the buffet. some dishes could have been warmer. It would also be nice to have coffee-making facilities in the room for a morning pick-me-up!

    bright atmosphere
    menu variety
    dining options

    I absolutely loved the elegant decor throughout the hotel, especially the bright and airy common areas. The accessibility for seniors was commendable, with minimal steps and ample seating available to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

    More senior-friendly menu options would be appreciated.
