One of the best hotel stays we've ever had. Fabulous setting, glorious views, wonderful facilities, helpful staff. The works! Lots to see and do, but really the trick is it's OK to do nothing and just breathe. We're already planning a return trip. Honestly...look at the pictures and just go!

This resort is truly a hidden treasure. There are so many aspects we loved; listening to the birdsong from our balcony while watching the sun set, the beautifully designed buildings that blend into the surroundings, the massive rooms with everything you need, the wonderful staff who are friendly and want to make your stay enjoyable (shout out to the friendly maitres d’ and waitresses in particular) and the delicious breakfasts. There was even live music in the restaurant the last night we were there. Yes the road there is a bit bumpy but take it slow and you’ll be fine, all good things take a bit of hard work. If you want a relaxing break this is the place to go.

Unbelievably nice hotel

It’s the third time we came to this hotel. It’s located in the Costa Vicentina of Portugal, a strip of land with the most incredibly beautiful, unspoiled beaches. The hotel is a 5* facility, new (2y old) with great rooms and a tranquility that is unsurpassing. We will be back

We stayed a week at the hotel. The staff were very friendly, and the room and other facilities and breakfast buffet were brilliant. What could improve a longer stay (like ours) is more food options for the evening (more casual dining options too), clearer roles for staff serving in the restaurant (some confusion there), and a heated outside spa pool. Other than that - really great!

Lovely place

This place is amazing, visited both on high and low season. Beautiful place surrounded by nature, we had amazing star sky from the balcony and could hear the sea. It was a nice and cozy stay even in the winter. The breakfast is amazing. Spa is great even if the Turkish sauna was broken both days and the indoors pool was cold, so there’s bit room for improvement. But the other saunas and cold bath were great.
