The staff were all very approachable and helpful. The whole site is very clean. The beach is just outside in front, which is super. The complimentary drinks in Real Bar were also nice. There are some not so great aspects, such as limited selections for breakfast (but considering we went during the low season, it's more or less ok with us), and simply no wifi connection at all beyond the hall way in our room. The latter bit is a bit unacceptable and disappointing for a five star resort.

Very quiet, lovely hotel for great value, food options not the greatest but it was out of season so understandable, staff all very friendly and accommodating. Would absolutely visit again but probably in season.
We loved our visit to Portugal and found all locals very friendly.

We chose this resort to celebrate my birthday with friends and it was a fantastic choice. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa which had plenty of space and was perfect for us - the pictures are very accurate. It was a short walk to the main building, and then further to the beach, but the property is well maintained so it always felt like a pleasant stroll. The staff were all very friendly, housekeeping was very responsive when we needed anything, and the hotel even arranged for a very thoughtful recognition on my birthday - an unexpected surprise and very well received! I would be happy to stay here again.

All lovely - winding down for the end of season. Needs a bit of TLC - hair dryers quite old and overheat quickly so you need patience!

Wonderful location, right on the beach, with friendly staff and inside was spotlessly clean. Free parking, mix of apartments and hotel rooms. Our Sea view room was lovely and west facing for great sunsets. Expect five star prices for food and drink though. Breakfast was lovely, masses to choose from so you can mix it up a little each day. Shame the spa was extra for guests, so you only had from 9am to 12pm to use the indoor pool for free so it was too busy for us. Swimming caps are mandatory so if you have one, bring it or pay 3 euros. One outdoor pool was heated, but again pretty busy. Overall, would recommend.
