Loved this place! Isaias was incredibly helpful and Luis was great as well! The location can’t be beat and the rooms are nice. My only complaint is the gym was really hot and could use a yoga mat or 2 and more free weights. It’s a quiet, beautiful beach and resort, one I’ll definitely stay at again.

Location is a compromise as it’s in a beautiful setting with a wonderful sandy beach but is 40 minutes walk to nearest town centre , Alvor.
Swimming on the beach was not suitable for either my wife or myself as it’s quite sloped in places and the beautiful soft sand is terrible to walk on with arthritic joints.
We were on a B&B basis and problems logging the credit card at check-in meant we had to carry a card at all times to purchase food and drink. Sadly this could have been resolved on the next day but the easy ‘work-around’ was not done until (I think) day 4.
Very friendly staff, rooms always clean but inconsistent stocking of fridge. Balcony door occasionally left open after room service.
Room safe free to use. Ours had a habit of opening by itself after locking which I thought was me being forgetful but I heard it open just after I locked it on our last evening.
Bill was presented with some interesting charges to the food and drinks charged to the room. I had not noticed these when signing.
Tourist tax is charged to your bill as expected.
Avoid the evening meal. It’s mediocre and €35 each + drinks + service charge.
Getting a second drink either coffee at breakfast or wine in the evening can take time or not happen at all.
Would we return? No. Reasons….sloping beach, evening meal, distance to town, cost.

I recently stayed at this charming old hotel, and while it had its quirks, it certainly left a lasting impression. The rooms were undeniably dated, with furnishings straight out of a bygone era, but they had a nostalgic charm to them. While the rooms appeared superficially clean, it was clear that they could benefit from a deeper cleaning.However, what truly set this hotel apart was its superb atmosphere and the outstanding service provided by the personnel. From the moment I checked in, I was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality, and throughout my stay, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction.The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking sea views and the beautiful beach just steps away from the hotel.

A fulll service Hotel next to the beach, swimming pool inside and outside. The hotel is of age, but remodeled very nicely / service & staff are excellent, perfect location. We stay three nights we really appreciate this getaway. The only complaint is, that doesn’t have blocks at the side of the bed to load all the gadgets a bit.

We e had a great time here, even though the weather is somewhat cold. Great staff and service. Breakfast is fantastic. Gym and sauna etc is good and clean. Room is very nice, and unusually for a hotel, we have slept well!
