Staying at this location was a little gift to myself, and I was not disappointed. Absolutely loved my room. Paul was amazing. The beaches and Cliffside area outside of the resort where just part of the icing on the cake. With the other part being the landscaping and grounds of the hotel. The spa is very pretty. The half board, including breakfast and dinner, was worth it. There was a variation of options with good flavors. Really appreciated the free shuttle into town. I have nothing negative to say, except if you have mobility issues. I happened to have broken my foot just before arrival. And the distance needed to get to the different elevators to get to the different locations could be a little bit of a hassle. But, do not let that dissuade you. Absolutely everything about this location was amazing and was a highlight of my trip.

This was a great spot! The walkability to the beach was very convenient and the pool area was clean and nice. It was a great place to relax in the afternoon after a long day of exploring the Algarve. The gym, indoor pool, and spa were very nice. There was parking on site which was nice. The only downside was the walkability to go to the town, or restaurants so there was only 1 restaurant on site, and a small beach restaurant close by that stops serving food at 5pm. However if you are looking for just a place to relax and unwind with beach access without having to drive this is a great spot.

Liked the breakfast that was included and the resort facilities with the beach area. Did not like that the lounge chairs on the beach were not included. Our room # 252 was very, very dissappointing, and definitely not up to standards, particularly with being claimed as a 5* hotel. - many spots of mould in the shower walls and tiles coming off - shower water did not drain, large amounts of water in the basin that did not move for drainage - toilet plunger did not work on the left side - large areas missing paint in washroom and throughout the room - toilet dripping all day and night, it may be possible that the drippings are from the washroom above. Hard to sleep with the continuous dripping. - no light over the hallway door area, very dark at night, particularly with being at the end of the hallway. - large cracks in the door trim and around some baseboards. - no bed sheet cover, bed cover is the only choice to cover yourself at night. - bar fridge is not clearly advertised for charges for non alcoholic beverages. All concerns have been addressed with the manager. We only stayed 3 nights and addressed the concerns at the end of our stay. Finding it hard to believe no one else complained? This room would be a 2* with all its pre existing conditions. Check-in was not a delightful experience either.

Property was clean, facilities nicely kept. The staff was not very friendly and even rude at several points. Lovely location and very peaceful environment. Would recommend to someone not planning on spending a lot of time on property. No late check out nor upgrade offered for VIP access.

The hotel is in a great location on top of the cliffs with easy access to a beautiful beach 2 mins walk away. The whole hotel is lovely, rooms, pools etc. we did notice one of the restaurants in the hotel was shut but there were restaurants within walking distance if you didn’t mind a 29 min walk otherwise it would be very limited dining. The old town is a free bus ride away but it’s a 25 min walk as it only runs 3 times a day. Here you will find the ‘party’ if you wanted it, it’s lovely in day before the clubs get going, but it’s worth noting the hotel itself is in a lovely peaceful quite spot on top of the cliffs with sea views.

The setting around the pool area and gardens are so natural and peaceful. Beautiful. The walk to the beach and the beach itself is amazing. Food was nice. Beyond that this is not 5 star. It really misses the mark when competing with other 5 star hotels along the Algarve. Nothing for kids to do, no other food options beyond the buffet which at £40 a head is very expensive to eat in each night. No other activities for adults bar Yoga on a Saturday morning. Bar is basic and entertainment is ok. There is an Italian beside the beach that has a much better vibe and evening entertainment. It was changing hands by the looks of things and hopefully will improve. I’d pay extra and try Epic Sana instead.
