Beautiful villa. Staff went out of their way to help.

I thought the coastline was beaches, but actually this part of it is cliffs, but can ride or Uber to beaches close by.

The setting over looking the ocean was beautiful. The building itself reminded us of a large villa. very quaint and picturesque.

When we arrived we were told the AC wasn’t working and that there had been problems before. We felt that if this was an ongoing issue it should have been dealt with before the hot summer months. We were provided with a fan but it didn’t really help with the heat in the room especially at night.

Great hotel and staff were really attentive and friendly

The carpets were really poor needed replacing or cleaning

The property was lush and colorful with a beautiful fountain that offered relaxing sounds. The staff were so kind and friendly and sincerely helpful. The sauna and Turkish bath were welcome and such a fantastic addition. This place has great vibes, and truly the best staff I have encountered at a hotel in this area, or Lisboa for that matter. I love the size of the hotel, the pool, and availability of food and drink at the pool. Also, the breakfast was excellent quality, abundant, and even with all the guests, the woman making coffees remembered our order from the previous day! We loved doing a photo shoot with the aqua velvet couches in the lounge. And finally, the views of the ocean were such a bonus:)

Nothing

It was very quiet.

Nothing to complain about. Just a little remark, coffee capsules in the room were payable…. We are talking about 50 cents capsule…in a 5* property?

Room was very large & well equipped! The bed was huge & very comfortable. Clean bedding & towels everyday. Everything was spotless. Our room was large & located on the first floor. We didn’t officially have a sea view but we could see the sea through the trees from our balcony. The gardens around the hotel were beautiful & well maintained. The staff were courteous and always keen to help. We really enjoyed our stay.

There was no lift up to the room. No evening meal available & there was no bar after 7pm. Apart from one restaurant opposite the hotel a drive was needed to reach other restaurants & bars.

The location of the hotel is excellent. All by itself on a beautiful stretch of beach. You can’t really see the ocean from the hotel though, but you can take a nice walk and be there in 5 mins. The rooms are scattered amongst a few buildings and it was very charming. There is a small spa with a warm pool and sauna and steam which was a nice perk. But you have to ask the staff to turn on for you and they were upstairs so that was mildly annoying. The outside pool was nice and while it was to cool to swim just laying in the sun felt good and I’m sure during the summer it is a very popular place. The breakfast was very nice but we had better in the smaller boutique hotels we stayed at. It was nice to sit on the balcony and enjoy it though.

Small complaint but we like tea at night and most other hotels had either the hot water electric kettle in the room or a coffee maker that you could make tea or it was available 24 hrs in the breakfast room. This hotel did not have that and it was slightly annoying!

Fabulous property, good location,very peaceful & relaxing environment. huge comfortable room-loved having direct access to the terrace , brilliant breakfast with plenty of choice. Beautiful gardens and lovely pool area, shame pool wasn’t heated though. Very helpful & pleasant staff. Particularly Wallace

Nothing to really dislike but would have liked longer opening hours for the bar & restaurant in the evening. Terrace furniture could do with a re-paint too.

Beautiful property, my room was lovely; inside the room was large and really nice. The terrace restaurant was amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Great view of the water. I used the gym and the spa, was a lovely morning. Lovely walk into town too. Or a quick Uber.

I wish I hadn’t had splashed out for ocean view because I basically didn’t get one. My terrace was basically a footpath behind a not so pretty garden, so I felt taken advantage of there. Overall a really great stay, I was only disappointed with my terrace and wish I didn’t pay for one.. because it was pricey. Other terraces were adorable though! So perhaps just be specific when you book. The photos were not what I got and unless you smoke (which I don’t) there was no need to be out there, so I was shut in my room the whole time, which wasn’t what I had planned.

Nice pool . Good views . Large room and bathroom. Well situated for going for long walks. Very friendly staff.

In my opinion this is not a 5 star property, considering that at 6 pm the bar and restaurant closes. You have to go out for dinner . The rooms and bathrooms could be upgraded.
