The room was lovely, clean and welcoming. The shower pressure was quite low and we found the walls were quite thin. We went at the end of November so much less occupants and we could clearly hear conversations in the next room. The overall feel of the hotel was nice and staff were friendly. We however hated the buffet at the restaurant. It was 29 euros per person and I’ve never left a portuguese restaurant feeling so disappointed. It wasn’t even because of the price, the “main courses” we’re all bland, americanized food, it was so bad we decided not to go to the breakfast buffet. If you’re there just for the stay, go for it. Don’t bother with the food.

Lovely couples getaway

We enjoyed 5 wonderful days here, making use of the hotel facilities and exploring the local area. The outdoor pool and bar area are fantastic. The indoor pool and spa needs some improvement - while the pool itself is large with comfortable loungers around it, the jacuzzi barely functions and the steam room didn't work at all. The bedrooms are very comfortable and generously sized with balconies and a mini bar fridge. A kettle service is advertised to make tea and coffee in your room, but although we asked for it on the first day it only arrived on dsy 4 of a 5 night stay. Breakfast is average, and the evening meal is OK but lacking in atmosphere, whereas there a multiple fantastic restaurants in walking distance which I would recommend using instead.
