"Great location by marina and minutes walk to bars and restaurants. Roof top pool lovely. Great breakfast. Rooms cleaned daily. Hotel a bit tired but still a good hotel. Would stay again"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the resort. The staff were excellent. The facilities are really well looked after. We enjoyed the pools and the beach. The beach was beautiful. Some others have complained about the price of food and drink and I guess in comparison to other parts of Portugal it may seem like that. It is a 5 star rating and we expected 5 star pricing for food. We enjoyed the buffet dinner although I thought there could be more hot options at dinner. We enjoyed the Lima restaurant for the wonderful staff. The food at Lima was very good but could have gone up a level to meet the hotel star rating. The regional wine suggestions were excellent in all restaurants and reasonable prices based on North American perspective. All-in-all the staff made the experience. "

"Great location, rooms recently renovated and clean. "

"This hotel was very nice, with lovely food and restaurants inside. The staff were all lovely and the condition of the facilities was very good. "

"Our hotel room view over the sea was amazing. The room was very clean and the bedding was so comfortable. We were able to sit in an outside area for our breakfast which was lovely. The staff brought around cold face towels at the poolside which was so welcomed in the heat. The location of the hotel is fantastic! "
