TripAdvisor Review
Probably the best and most beautiful hotel I have been

Amazing experience. Probably the best and most beautiful hotel I have been (and already stayed in their neighbour hotel 2 years ago). Forget if you think this is a lifestyle or fancy trendy luxury hotel, here the luxury is the nature, beach and people and everything feels so personal. Be ready for be grounded with peace, quiet and honest human connections.

A true oasis.

This hotel is EXCEPTIONAL. I was stunned at the grounds, the staff (so lovely, so helpful) and just the overall experience. This is a special place with real spirit and hospitality. It's very well staffed and the property is spread out, so even if the resort is full, it does not feel overcrowded. The private beach, private walking trail, spa, tennis club and fitness classes were all 10/10. Highly recommend.

Perfect vacation!

Fantastic location, lodging, service, and amenities. We'll be back!

Paradise in Portugal

This resort is quite literally a paradise. Beautiful, modern suites on a property that has 5 restaurants, several pools, beach access, a spa, tennis courts, and a children’s play area. The staff were fantastic, and each restaurant better than the last.

WHAT A BAD PLACE FOR TO STAY

Hello dear management, we stayed at this hotel complex for a whole week, what a disappointment.

As a visitor, you are first pushed onto a golf caddy and given a tour after checking in, especially around all seven restaurants; the staff is so drilled that they will send you past there first to motivate you to eat there. taken you to your room after driving around for half an hour, you do arrive in a room that is neat and clean with air conditioning and an empty fridge. The promised pools are always full; there are simply too few sun loungers available, and the pool boys present really don't make their best effort to make the beds. Also, only 1 pool is heated, and not all pools as they claim.

At breakfast, there is a problem with a long queue every morning, with difficult visitors who sometimes stand in line for up to half an hour in a much too small hallway on the stairs.

Of course, everyone wants to eat outside in nice weather and not in the dark room in front; why, why the hell don't you open the restaurant downstairs as well? It is simply ridiculous. There are 50 chairs and 20 tables just standing empty downstairs.

We asked about this, but the management wouldn't allow it because it was a different restaurant. In short, definitely do not, definitely do not go to this hotel. There are better ones in the world where you do get top-notch service, and where the staff is trained to treat the customer who leaves their money well. Never, ever again, and if you ask me, the management: find another job, because you were nowhere to be seen either.
