A real Gem of an hotel and our visit was made enjoyable throughout..... The hotel is lovely with a touch of grace and in a great position for acces to the beach and restaurants in Praca The staff are friendly and helpful throughout Our only frustration would be the complex air conditioning in the bedrooms which is a small issue in the entire scheme of things Look forward to our next visit

A hotel of two halves. If you're lucky and get the new extension, the rooms are lovely but you could be unlucky and get the retro 1980s version which needs a complete update. Very much a golfers hotel so expect groups of males.

Booked the room due to the room rate, however upon arrival realised the hotel was pretty isolated and needed to catch expensive cabs to other locations. Restaurant options were pretty limited and quality of food fell short. Pool itself was good (but cold despite being advertised as being heated), however decking required to be replaced,

Staff were very friendly but not very efficient. They failed to book our golf lesson on the first day, despite confirming by email that they had. Service was very slow in the restaurant and staff failed to inform us that several of the limited meat choices were not available at dinner, until 20 minutes after sitting down. Only one of the two restaurants was open and we were not informed about this is advance. While the rooms were clean, there were regular problems with bad smells from the drains and our key cards kept failing and had to be re-programmed.
