Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were brilliant, large, spotless, and always had a nice fresh, clean smell when walking in. The location was fantastic, between Praia da Rocha and Alvor, offering a beautiful setting with great dining options. The dining experience was clean, comfortable, and quiet, but with a limited breakfast selection. The service was a mix of not-so-friendly encounters, like in the kids club, but with helpful gestures, like offering a one-way ticket without asking.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were large, clean, and very comfortable with a beautiful balcony overlooking the adjacent golf course and valley all the way to Praia da Rocha. The service was overall pretty friendly, and the staff was really helpful and accommodating. The location was ideal for me as it's a little off the beaten track and very quiet, with fantastic swimming pools. The dining experience was excellent, especially in the sports bar adjacent to the hotel. However, there were a few minor drawbacks like the lack of daily room servicing and the occasional murky pool water.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The spacious apartment was spotlessly clean and very large, perfect for a comfortable stay. The staff went the extra mile to make my experience special with a fantastic gluten-free dinner. However, the distance from nearby shops and lack of evening entertainment were a bit of a downside.
The hotel had spacious rooms, but unfortunately, we experienced loud construction noise and a strong sewage smell coming from the surroundings. The kitchen above us was noisy late into the night, which was disappointing considering the price we paid.
The hotel is situated in a quiet area, a little off the beaten track, making it very peaceful. The rooms, although small, are nicely kept and tidy. The staff are incredibly welcoming and eager to make your stay enjoyable. However, the dining options could use more variety. The swimming pools are well-maintained, and there are plenty of sunbeds available.
