    perfect spot for city strolls and beach walks

    Plus, being just a short walk from the beautiful sandy beaches and local eateries made my weekend getaway nice.

    The room was adequate and included coffee/tea making equipment and glassware. The breakfast was satisfactory and the ambiance was special. The location was marvellous and favourable, very close to public areas and rooms, the centre of vale do lobo, and many golf courses. The team provided an excellent service. Everyone was nice and enthusiastic.

    great food
    friendly staff
    outdated room

    Had an awesome getaway with friends! We played rounds at both the renowned San Lorenzo and Pinheiros Altos courses. A relaxing beach day. The food was great, and the staff were super friendly. You can really enjoy some golf, fine dining, and amazing sunsets here.

    One downside was that our room was a bit outdated and could use some refreshing. A few of the amenities seemed like they needed repairs, surprising for a hotel of this caliber.

    great breakfast
    friendly staff
    outdated decor

    The location near the beach and the amazing breakfast options stood out. A minor downside was the outdated decor in our room, but the friendly staff was great.

    This is a 3 star hotel - certainly not a 5 star. Rooms are tired and require refurbishment. They don't even have proper showers. The pool area is crowded and too small. Totally overpriced.

    Tired rooms. Simply not 5 star by any stretch of the imagination.

    Proximity to Faro, and the location near the beach and Val do Lobo restuarants.

    the hotel is generally tired and in need of an up-date, however it is still good, but perhaps not worthy of 5 stars.The breakfast is anly average and would benefit from real fresh jusices, not canned and also more variety, especially grapeftruit juice. Also, the fresh fruit was limited ansd several options were canned fruits.

    outdated areas

    The hotel had a fantastic location near fine beaches, and the breakfast spread was very nice, with freshly baked pastries and delicious organic juices. The staff were really good too accommodate my needs.

    Some areas of the hotel appeared outdated.

    The Hotel was in an excellent location within minutes of the beach and restuarants of Vale Do Lobo, the rooms were spacious and staff were extremley helpful when required.

    Bedrooms are a little tired and ready for a refurb but not to the extent of being shabby

    dated room

    Friendly and helpful staff. The pool area was lovely, and the breakfast options, especially the beef dishes, were good. The hotel's decor needs an update, and the room felt a bit outdated. While the location is excellent for golf and the beach, the overall facilities could benefit from some refurbishment.

    The staff very helpfull, and food excellent (exceptional good breakfast)

    This review would be all good is some refurbishment of the bathroom to include a decent shower (over the bath flexible dribble hose not acceptable at this star rating)
