I had a delightful few days here on my solo holiday. The hotel facilities are lovely and clean. The gym is really decent for a hotel gym, the free sauna and steam room are a great touch. Breakfast had lots of options. The pool area was so nice and quiet. I loved the local area too, I enjoyed my morning walk along the coastal boardwalk, and the beach is great for watching the sunset. I'd definitely choose this hotel for a quiet relaxing break if you want to avoid the "brits abroad" rowdy crowd in other Algarve areas. I'll be back!

Nice to stay at a hotel with visible management and staff who really care about the guests experience and put their satisfaction at a priority.

Excelent choice for those who want to spend quiet holidays and don´t have any children that are not allowed. Great pool and spa and a few minutes walk to the beach. Very good service and a big variety of choices for lunch and dinner as well as drinks. Not very expensive having a good value for money.

It is a wondwrful hotel. However, there was construction work going on such as grinding of cement at 8:30 a.m. Bed was too hard for me and shower was slippery. Tge hotel provided a mattress topper and a shower mat. Made all the difference.

We really enjoyed the fact that the hotel only has 42 rooms. Also, it is outside of the city but so close to the beach. The staff were all amazing and so helpful. Breakfast was included and it had a huge choice of options to choose from. Our favourite hotel during our Portugal trip.

Moira

Disliked: Amenities
A little surprised by the reviews for this hotel. The rooms were outdated and the bed was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was OK … canned peaches and yogurt cups with lots of bread choices and some other fruit. We found the coffee undrinkable. Pool area was very clean and quiet but the loungers were a pleather/vinyl that got very hot in the sun and the small beach towel provided was not enough to cover it comfortably. Seems like many other guests bought or brought better towels to deal with this. Front desk wasn’t very helpful when I was inquiring about the beach and where to rent chairs (it’s the brown surf stand hut not the restaurant as the hotel told us). First time in Algarve so I don’t have anything to gauge this against.

For anyone wanting a relaxed and peaceful holiday - this hotel fits the bill. Situated a minute away from a fabulous beach, the hotel is spotless, the staff are amazing -professional and friendly. The food is delicious - breakfast provides everything you would want and the dinners are amazing - love the Sea Bass - compliments to the chef! There is a beautifully maintained pool area with sunlight all day. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and no question that we will go back again.
