We stayed in the apartment with 2 friends which had a central entrance door and two additional doors into the two apartments so that you had your privacy. Both apartments are very roomy with good features such as a kitchenette and outside Terrace overlooking the sea.

The decor in the apartment was soul less and the chairs were a little uncomfortable. Also, the dining facilities had been moved to the Golf clubhouse due to a technical issue they said which was a little disappointing as the hot food for breakfast was cold.

The hotel is beautiful, with gorgeous views on the golf course and the sea. Staff is friendly and caring. Rooms are big and offer both shower and bath (the latter with a glass wall looking on the outside terrace). Breakfast is excellent, with both sweet and savoury options and the possibility to order "a la carte" extras as pancakes and crepes. Hotel bar is also top-notch, with nice cocktails and some basic (but very tasty) food options served 24h. Parking is free with plenty of outdoor and some indoor spots. Golf course is beautiful.

The spa needs some maintenance and some monitoring: during our stay both sauna and steam room were out of order, and the indoor pool (that should have been adults-only, as per hotel rules affixed on the walls) was full of noisy children and families, with the staff that didn't intervene despite complaints from several guests

This hotel is gorgeous however the staff were all so professional, friendly and helpful . Facilities are very good for sure but staff make it. I must also mention the food . Top class food for Breakfst lunch and dinner . We will be back for sure .

It’s a little remote and when travelling in a group of 8 who were dropped off by bus we were restricted . We also didn’t like the price of alcohol . It was way over priced by Portugal standards and I traveling to Portugal since 1996 . €7 for a .5 litre of beer and €11 for a G&T is not right . It’s €5 for a beer in the golf club which is fine for 5 star hotel . Beer in Portugal averages €4 for local beer! I think you are missing a trick

Restaurant and Bar meals were very good, ALL staff were very polite and helpful

Maintenance levels within the rooms. Upon arrival, we had to ask reception to resolve a few issues, in fairness the maintenance man did resolve all the initial problems during the first 24 hrs. However, such items should have been resolved prior to a guests' arrival, maybe more feedback from the maid service to the reception/maintenance department is required, especially to hold a 5 star rating. Guests should not have to report a handful of issues upon arrival.

The larger apartment was wonderful. The smaller one would be a bit small if you weren’t also using the larger one too, as we were. They are designed with a common outside door so you can use both apartments sort of linked together. The views from the terrace were of the golf course and the ocean. (The ocean is a couple miles away, but you can see and hear it!). The breakfast was 5 star - one of the best we’ve had while on vacation. Oh, the golf course was very, very good too!

The kitchenette is very difficult to cook on. The 2 burner cooktop is positively tiny. All the rest of the kitchen features were fine.

Pool Breakfast Apartment Hotel

When we arrived (16.30) the apartment wasn’t ready and the receptionist said she wouldn’t know how long it would take to be ready saying it wasn’t her job to get the apartments ready just to do the check ins. Luckily the apartment was ready at 16.45. The request i made previously (to make a welcome surprise for my husband’s birthday in the apartment) wasn’t done on arrival, i had to ring reception about it and remind them i was told that would be done without additional charges.

The room was large and very well designed. It was spotlessly clean and I loved the free standing bath looking out onto the garden. The terrace was a great size and added to the room experience. Also good to have a coffee machine.

I was disappointed by the indoor pool which was incredibly hot, too hot to swim laps even though it was a great size. The extremely warm and humid air in the spa area has also led to rather a lot of black and green mould around the pool areas which I found off putting especially when the changing rooms and everything else in the hotel was exceptionally clean. We were going to add an extra night to our stay but given that we could not use the spa area for swimming we decided against it which was a pity.

The property is quite new and it shows. Good areas overall and great attention to detail. The outdoor swimming pool is beautiful to look at, even during winter. There is breakfast available, which I'd recommend. Good parking options. The location is quiet. The wifi is also good! Golf options if you're into that (I'm not)

The location is quiet because it's too far away from anything else. The indoor pool wasn't included in the apartment option, which was disappointing and not clear. The breakfast was good but not amazing, not so many options and very crowded despite our early joining. The bathtub was clogged which is surprising given how new everything is.

easy check in with lovely staff happy to chat to, stunning lobby so impressive, we booked a deluxe double with bath and sea views, incredible we loved the mural on the wall in the room very portuguese , the bath amazing for 2, loads of english tv channels and , coffee machine and kettle available, rooms luxury so comfortable beautiful big balcony with views and sunbed to enjoy at sunset and watch the outdoor fireplace being lit for sunset amazing. the swimming pool has to be seen to be believed its the longest and most decorative with all blue and white tiles telling history of the country . we would like to make special mention to the lovely, friendly hospitality professionals we met at the daily breakfast restaurant including bruna and both her male and female colleagues working on the mornings of our 3 night stay apologies for not being able to get everyones names, the restaurant is beautiful the whole property is stunning and so well maintained great job. the quality of food and choice was terrific. we loved it and highly recommend the omlettes and fresh breads. also the girls at the bar loved to talk to you and all the best for the future. undercover security car parking wonderful, amazing indoor pool facilities . so much to enjoy , turndown in the evenings 5 star all the way

nothing

We stayed in one of the apartments. Absolutely everything was clean, new, fresh. The room was not overly decorated. There were no sounds from outdoors creeping in the room. For my taste, the uncluttered and not overly stylized room was a refreshing change to most hotels today. The room was bright, with a full golf course and oceanview and at the same time it was warm and tranquil and conducive to the most amazing sleep. The kitchen was well equipped, everything anyone could need in a small kitchen was provided, from dishes and cups to a dishwasher, microwave, an oven, hand mixer and coffee machine, all beautifully hidden in modern furniture. All dishware and flatware by Vista Alegre! (top makers in Portugal and Western Europe). The bathroom was ample with plenty of storage space for all of our travel essentials. Most hotels fail to provide space for the guest's own items. FANTASTIC towels, toiletries, and linens. A soap dish! What a treat! A simple little dish to keep the counter clean and avoid soap scum on the counter. Hot water on command and a real, air conditioner, not an air circulation system that only blows cool air in the summer. This was a model room. Congratulations on the design.

I am nitpicking only because everything is excellent. The tiled gap to step into the bathroom tub was very wide making it a little bit difficult to get in and out of the tub, especially if you have short legs or are elderly. There is nothing to hold on to. Also, a partial, glass barrier by the tub simply does not keep water from splattering out. With a wet, gorgeous, super slick, white marble floor, sprinting out of the bath dripping wet on a surface that may already be wet can be a risky endeavor.
