This was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The cleanliness was 110% all the time. The facilities were absolutely amazing - exceptionally well staffed, and the staff were incredibly attentive. The restaurants available catered to every single need. The staff cleared our plates within SECONDS (im not even exaggerating, they were literally always there to clear a plate) and they reacted to the barest of glances their way and came to see if we needed anything. The pools were beautiful and clean. the hotel was no too busy, the access to the beach was literally less than 5 min. From the hotel's private exit we could access the cliffs and watch the sunrise and sunset. On leaving early in the morning, they actually packed up breakfast for us as we missed our included breakfast for that day; they did so without us even thinking to request this. It was just beautiful. 10/10

Stayed in this hotel for 8 nights with my husband. The service was exceptional. I have visited over 27 countries and can honestly say this was the best holiday I have ever had! I am gluten and dairy intolerant and we were there in a half board basis, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. The chef cooked my food separately every night and even made a delicious dairy free and gluten free cake for my birthday; we didn’t ask for this and it was such an amazing surprise! We were greeted by a bottle of champagne on arrival and another bottle was left in my room on the day of my birthday. The room was huge and very clean. The room was very quiet, comfortable bed and I slept like a baby, the room was also on top floor as requested, beautiful views. Whatever we asked for the staff always responded immediately to every request. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Beautiful location with direct access to some of the nicest coastal scenery and a few beaches (Sao Rafael, Arrifes). The staff is very friendly and the food is excellent (the breakfast buffet has everything you need, the dinner buffet - exceptional quality, and also the food at the bar was always very good). The pool areas are very nice too. They also have bathrobes and slippers in the room, plus water boiler and coffee machine. I was here at the end of November and all the restaurants nearby were closed for winter. So it was good to have good restaurants in the hotel. Otherwise, you need to go to Albufeira Marina or the old town, which is too far to walk, so you need a car or a taxi.

A properly sized room 30+ m2 that is a rare find for not so modern construction and also well planned room layout. Also properly sized hotel that has a touch of privacy feeling without crowds of tourists. Good breakfast with natural juices and good coffee, no confusion, but relaxed atmosphere. Enough place for car parking without extra fees and hassle. You have plenty of dining options outside of a hotel and the area is well covered by Uber drivers.

Paulo

The location was fantastic - Right next to a beautiful beach sandy beach enclosed by cliffs. You could also take very scenic pictures from the top of the cliff and follow a walk trail. Access to the nearby Albufeira Marina was both cheap and speedy, a nice location to book a boat trip from. The hotel itself was very clean and the room size was very generously spacious.
