“Very pleasant.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

Spent 7 days here recently for a conference. The hotel is a very nice place to be! The room was comfortable and spacious enough. The outlook from the bar and restaurant was beautiful - the grounds are lovely. There is both an outdoor and indoor pool. The staff at the front desk were excellent - extremely helpful, efficient and obliging. In fact some of the best I've encountered. And Fernando was the star - he seems to know everything that you might want.
The only downside is there is very little within walking distance of the hotel - a taxi ride was necessary to get anywhere.

“A Pearl”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

The exuberant gardens and beautiful pool area are the heart of this very tidy and well conducted 5-star hotel. The breakfast buffet is breathtaking and gives you the perfect start for a sunny day in the central Algarve. They have their private shuttle bus to the lovely sandy beach, only 3 minutes away. In fact, if you rather fancy a walk, you will get to the beach in less than 10 minutes.
The rooms are unfortunately rather small, but tidy and luxurious. Ask for sea views when you book. It's worth its money.

Room Tip: Ask for sea view when booking the room.

“Nothing bad to say”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

This was a fabulously luxurious hotel in the heart of the Algarve. You do have to travel a short distance to the beach (5 min walk). Food was great, staff very helpful, beach was amazing! I was there on business, otherwise it is a little pricey. Rooms were spacious, clean; beds were comfortable. Pools are beautiful, but not heated. Excellant 5 star hotel for a restful week in the sun.

Room Tip: rooms on the 5th floor in the front of the hotel have a view of the sea

“Week in the sun”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

A fine five star hotel. Lovely pool and setting. Staff all well trained and very helpful. The only food we took was breakfast which was very good. Free wifi and sky tv were good to have. A super place to stay. The hotel is between Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, so convenient for golf and for restaurants. When we were there last week the age group was 50 plus and the hotel is quiet, so perhaps not the best for families, although the very good beach is only a short 10 or 15 minute walk away and has beach bars etc. The minor criticisms were that the pool bar menu was dull and prices high (4 euros for a small beer). Overall a very well run and comfortable quality hotel, ideal for a quiet break. The staff are really professional and so helpful.

“ Top Tip: The beach bars - Izzy's and Julias - are fine for snacks and that evening beer watching the sunset. Also try the Dounas Doradas restaurant over the road (Xenia's), which is very pleasant and well run by Gaye.
