Disliked: Amenities
Property was large so it was hard to access and see the ocean. Indoor pool/spa was only accessible to those who paid for a treatment. All classes were extra money. Resort is isolated so dining limited to hotel. Had to uber long distances to get to attractions in the area/cliffs/hikes. Wasps everywhere on property so hard to relax and enjoy pool, breakfast outside or beach. For price point wish we had selected elsewhere.

Great Resort!

Great resort, well organized staff, clean and quiet. The private beach is nice and has full service to enjoy drinks and food right in front of the ocean. Breakfast and valet parking were included. The breakfast was also very good, offering fresh baked pastries, fruits, eggs and various other local dishes. Included were also unlimited expresso, cappuccino and any other drink. Highly recommended!

This is an outstanding hotel, with great customer service. For example, I said I liked the tea at breakfast - and I then had (without asking) a gift of tea sent to my room by hotel management. Absolutely outstanding! The one minor development is I was there with my 14 year old son. He wasn’t allowed anywhere near the indoor pool. This policy needs a rethink.

Great experience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Amazing location, design, landscaping, service and food. Highly recommend. We also booked an afternoon trip with their yacht which was excellent. The chef and sommelier at the B&G restaurant were really friendly and made a tasting dinner that night very special.

We enjoyed the property very much. The hotel was busy however always found a space at the beach. We enjoyed the friendly staff and the other guests very much. The room was beautiful and clean. The Vip access from Expedia in general never incudes a room upgrade. We did have a bottle of wine waiting tho so that's always nice. We would definitely return to this property. Also the breakfast was really fantastic. The best overall on our trip around Portugal.

Very nice place. Dinner menu was okay and fairly expensive and they bring appetizers without asking and then charge you later. Also the bathroom shower is disappointing. The open glass and tiny shower tub combo makes it very cold when you shower Otherwise the property was very nice.
