I’ve held off leaving this reviews until I received feedback directly, but to no avail. I’m still in shock how this hotel is listed as 5* The staff from very first arriving were rude, obnoxious and unhelpful. Room was not ready even though they asked our arrival time. Made to wait till bang on check in time. No cleaners left our allocated apartment. So it was ready. We were an hour later than the time we said we’d arrive. Only 40 mins earlier that official check in. So this felt very petty. We asked for a 5th chair for the patio dining table. Told no! When asked why, we were told “it’s just the way it is” There were 5 of us staying in the accommodation. So was 1 person expected to stand for the duration of the stay. How is that 5 star service. Litter left all week in bushes around the pool. Bins not emptied till late morning from the day before. Overflow left on the ground. Broken umbrellas, dangerous. Shower areas filthy. Days before debris left in a pile outside the children’s club. Large cracks in glass windows outside children’s club. The list goes on.
We booked this accommodation based on it having 2 bathrooms. We weren’t told they shared a communal shower. How is that functional for 2 separate families?
The only plus side was that the accommodation itself for the most part was somewhat clean. Although very dated and didn’t match the pictures advertised. Mouldy bath mats and lots of rust in the bathroom. Outside patio area was never swept as constant covering of ants on crumbs etc. We did not raise in resort as only there a week and with already disgruntled staff members we made do. What could they change in a week?
Location- not good unless you have a car or pay for taxis daily. It's fairly remote and not ideal for those who
wish to explore the local towns etc. The rooms are fine but I would hesitate to say 5 stars! Definitely not IMO.
The public areas are lovely and well tended to.
The breakfast food was fabulous as was evening meals but the menu needs to be changed a couple of times a week.
Staff are fine but not overly informative or friendly- exception, Jose, Carla and Elisa who were always smiling and attentive to everyone. Great ambassadors for the hotel.
Rodrigues, on reception, needs to develop his people skills. He told me my perfume wasn’t nice!!!
A beautiful surrounding and great for families but not best venue for older couples who aren’t interested in just sitting around day in, day out.
Amazing stay from start to finish. The pictures online do not really do this complex justice. Our apartment was huge and had a semi private garden. The pool area is lovely, staff super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was incredible, huge choice, the kids thought they were in heaven! Kids club was lovely. There was some entertainment on a few of the evenings which was lovely. There is only 1 other restaurant within walking distance (which was lovely) but Ubers are really cheap and there are several towns within a 10-15 minute drive. Thank you for making my kids first holiday abroad absolutely unforgettable ❤️
Our first time staying at a 5 star resort, nothing was too much. The staff were lovely, rooms were lovely and really clean. Food was amazing! (down side some things weren't available, but April is low season) The breakfast was honestly to die for. Cocktails were so good & it is very family friendly. It was my birthday over our stay and the staff were so kind and brought me a cake at breakfast and a glass of bubbly & some chocolate strawberries and a bottle of bubbly to the room. The kindness certainly didn't go unnoticed & we are already eager to return. We are hoping to come back this year in October 🤞 Also the grounds were beautiful, the indoor pool was great - jacuzzi & sauna too! Room service available all night 😄 The entertainment in the evenings at dinner was really good as well, kept the kids occupied! There is also a lovely cat that visits the hotel 😸 The area is perfect to explore surroundings with a car. Highly recommend 🥰
Arrived back just over a week ago and we were delighted with everything from start to finish. The apartment was spacious with excellent facilities and the location was ever so relaxing. Staff are professional and friendly and its just a lovely area.
If you are venturing out Ubers are cheap and quick to arrive if you want to head into any of the local towns. Personally I love Portugal, the people are very welcoming and would happily return to this hotel in the near future. We were self catering and it was ideal in every respect.
