Breakfast and location was excellent. Rooms were clean and tidy. Pool area nice with good selection of beds around each pool!

Beds could be more comfortable! The pool bar was terrible. Slow service and food very average when it eventually arrived… Staff did not care to serve food and made many many errors at pool bar. Two hours for two sandwiches and 2 drinks is shocking service. Staff at pool bar were very poor and manager was just as bad. Needless to say we never returned to the pool bar for lunch or drinks as the service was very very slow and not helpful at all… Have lunch & drinks at the marina instead!! Much faster and better service in the Marinas many bars and restaurants.

Room and staff service excellent. Disappointed with breakfast selection eg, eggs poorly presented, sausages and bacon tasteless. ( the Irish and British, who seemed to make up most of the guests, especially love these at breakfast.)

We had a rather long walk to our room, especially since I have a walking medical problem. Also, while ourselves, other guests and all staff wore protective covid masks, NONE of the many English guests, especially golfers, took any such precautions. We found this quite worrying. Shouldn't the Hotel make this compulsory for all guests, especially in the dining room ?

The hotel was absolutely fantastic and highly recommended , with great food and very friendly service Booked for next year straight away. Just a little disappointed with using facilities.

When going to use indoor swimming pool and hottub, I was told we had to wear swimming caps we wasnt told this at point of booking and also not given a reason why, im a man with a bold head. What difference would it make 🤔, we also told we would have to pay for swimming caps, we were put off by this very unhappy, most men have body hair and facial hair.. do they ask em to put a all in one body suit on with a mask..ERR NO! Was so looking forward to using hotel facilities very disappointed .

Comfortable and clean. There were children in our party and the hotel regularly had some sort of entertainment for the children, which was great! Great location - not far from the marina, but far enough away to be quiet, and right beside the beach! The kitchen in the room has all you'll need. The shower is great, not one that is fixed to the wall or ceiling so good for a rinse or if you don't want to wet your hair, has great water pressure, and the temperature is easily adjusted.

It was a little bit slow at check-in but ok. The "fry" section of the breakfast wasn't great, but there is such a large selection of breakfast that there was always something else to have instead. The pool at the bar is incredibly windy! It's somehow even windier at it than it is on the beach! But there are 2 other outdoor pools that are better sheltered, so again, you have options.

The location was perfect. We had a sea view room and it was lovely! Only a couple of mins down the road to the Marina, a bus stop right outside and a big walkway to Quarteria going the other way. Also well placed for loads of eateries and bars. The facilities were great, we didn't use the indoor pool and spa but we did have an hour or so outside. The hotel itself is really nice, breakfast was always good in the mornings. The same choice every day, however a good mixture to choose from so you didn't have to eat the same thing every day.

The beds. I didn't sleep great at all whilst staying here. They were hard and the pillows weren't great either. They could do with some improvement.

We liked everything about the hotel .location facilities. Breakfast was plentiful.pool area was clean .rooms cleaned every day for 6 days we where there.the best hotel we've stayed in in Portugal.we will be back again.

Only 1 thing.u should not have to pay for a safe in a 4 star hotel.we pay above the odds to stay in a nicer hotel which this is.so to charge 2:50 euro a day is a bit mean .and it's not the few quid it's principal.so that's my only gripe.but didn't affect our stay in a wonderful Hotel with lovely staff

Everything was excellent. We were a group of 16 golfers. The hotel staff were friendly and efficient. Will return in future. Beach was very close. Other facilities were 5 minutes walk away.

Nothing.

The rooms were very clean, very friendly staff and breakfast is exceptional. Great location, right on the beach front with private gate in and out of the hotel to the beach. Lovely play area for kids and nice spa to use downstairs. Very clean rooms/beds and bathrooms. Airport private car service (pre-booked with flights), great and on time. Lots to see in the area along with boat trips, parasailing etc available. Plenty of places to eat during the day and night. Very busy restaurants when we went.

If you like big pools then this is not for you, although they had two main pools and a smaller reasonably sized paddling pool with mini water slides for younger children (they have an indoor pool also as part of the spa). The pools are on the smaller side. No tea/coffee/kettle available in the room and no mini toiletries in the bathroom. No iron available ( so I was the only one that has taken ironed clothes!!).

Location was brilliant- right beside the marina and literally on the beach. View from our room was amazing - sunrise in the morning and sunset in the afternoon. Room was lovely - little kitchenette was a bonus. It was also spotlessly cleaned every day. Staff were very helpful especially the guys on reception. Breakfast was lovely- lots of choice and we never encountered a queue. We didn’t visit the evening buffet but did have burger and fries from the bar one evening which was great.

Some music playing at the pool would have been great.

Excellent location, very comfortable hotel, good breakfast.

No facility in hotel to iron clothes prior to attending a wedding the following day. Hotel said they could send the clothes for ironing to an external laundry with a 48-hour turnaround time which was not an option for us. The hotel should provide a room where clothes can be ironed by the guests (as many other hotels provide this facility).
