We spent a very pleasant 2 weeks and had nothing but friendliness from the front-of-house Staff, all of whom went out of their way to make our stay brilliant. Being in the Winter/Spring and "out of season", the Hotel was quieter than in the "Season", but that suited us perfectly. We had a view over the (empty) Swimming pool, and made use of the Minigolf which caused an immense amount of laughter, and no little frustration when my wife "fluked" the occasional hole-in-one! The room was more than adequate for our needs, and the beds were comfortable, but not luxurious.
The food was reasonable, our being on Half Board, with the Breakfast being totally adequate, and the Dinner being reasonable, both in variety and quality, but I had to remark to the Assistant Manager the the bay-Maries were not always hot enough to keep the food as hot as they should be. This was our ONLY concern, and there were improvements made.
I do NOT recommend the Travel Shop nearest to the Hotel, as the Staff told lies when a comment was made about a Historical Tour that was very poor, and the lies were followed by further unpleasantness. The SHACK at the top of the Strip was excellent, however.
We intend to return to Portugal again in the near future, but would appreciate a golf Course that was more reasonable in price than the ones in Villeneuva! £80.00 is too much, being out of season as it was.
