5.0 star rating15 July 2008
4.5 star ratingLovely location high above private beach with direct access via lift or steps. Pleasant outside area and indoor pool and spa. Sea View rooms have very large balcony with built in seating and table and chairs and great views. Comfortable beds and robes provided. Quiet location being away from town and other hotels and a variety of quiet lounges and bars so plenty space both indoors and outside.Location quite a from Alvor, and restaurants, so car recommended particularly out of season. No tea and coffee making facilities in room. Staff in hotel not very cheery apart from reception and cleaning staff. Indoor pool not very large. 10 December 2008
4.5 star ratingpleasant surroundingsdinner buffet is a tad expensive14 April 2009
4.5 star ratingamazing breakfast. we booked a sea view superior room and it was everything a superior room should be. cleaned and replenished everyday with toiletries which was a blessing as we had to stay on an extra week due to volcanic ash disruptionwould it be possible for the hotel to provide a service for elderly people to help them use the internet, at times of volcanic disruption etc, i found myself spending a considerable amount of my holiday helping out distraught guests as they had no idea what to do. in my case i didnt mind helping but feel it would be a "nicety" if the hotel could offer this.janet millar15 May 2010
4.0 star ratingHouse keeping staff superb, public areas in the hotel maintained to a high standard . The bedrooms are a little tired and in need of upgrade ( experienced 3 different room types ) reception staff were good at organising reservations and ordering taxis.The AC in original suite provided was not working which left the room very warm at night. After 5 complaints over the first 2 days at reception we were eventually upgraded to a deluxe suite on 5th floor. Magnificent view of beach but soft furnishings in livingroom very aged and grubby. Broadband DSL not working in room and despite 2 requests at reception this was never remedied. WIFI was available in the Bar area but this proved to be a nuisance when our flights were canceled as a result of the ash cloud and we could not organise transport home from our room11 May 2010
5.0 star ratingStaff were excellent and very friendly. We got to know them well during our stay which was longer than intended due to flight cancellatiosn due to volcanic ash disruption.We couldn't praise them enough. Great hotel, lovely situation and excellent facilities.Needs a little updating to retain its 5 Star status but I believe than this is planned soon15 May 2010
3.5 star ratingThe location is very good with excellent sea views and lovely beaches. It is not a 5 star hotel. The property needs to be up-dated. Prices for drinks are excessive and as a result the bars are empty. 08 September 2010

4.0 star ratingBar prices over the top. It's the only real downfall apart from the evening entertainment being a bit average at best. On the facilities we felt that the pool was sometimes dirty and gym under equipped. Not a 5 star hotel in our opinion but not far away. 21 August 2013
2.5 star ratingSituated in a lovely area.Not a 5* hotel as advertised. No way 5* service. Very tired looking, requires updating and refurbishing. Air con should be in reception. Health and Safety very poor i.e. cleaners vacuuming staircases to common areas during the day with cables up the stair cases for residents to trip over. Not enough sunbeds around the pool. No pool staff other than in the towel collection area. Towels left on beds dirty and not removed therefore not able to know whether the beds are free. Towel collection area staff suggest you secure your beds by 8am before breakfast or there will be none free. By 8am no sunbeds are free! Not enough sunbeds on the beach area and booking system inappropriate i.e.residents stand by the sunbeds from 7am to secure one till the beach guy arrives at 8am. Only 45 beds for 600 residents! Suite - Door closed with difficulty, very noisy to close. The key card had to be replaced 6 times. 2 broken lights, 1 of the air con controls broken, not enough drawers, no bedroom mirror only full length mirror in the sitting area, wardrobe door stopper in wrong position so you stub your toe when opening the wardrobe as it was disguised by the carpet. Bathroom - No ventilation, no shelves, toilet and bidet should be the other way round as difficult to access the toilet. Room Housekeeping - Below standard. Anonymous 18 July 2014
