Despite being a few miles out of Portimao, it's peaceful and just right for those who do not want to be in the thick of it on the beach etc. A car is essential with plenty of places to visit nearby- the former Algarve capital, Silves, Monchique and the highest point, Foía, all the beaches close to Portimao and even Sagres.
Excellent breakfasts are served together with snacks in the day, if you are actually hungry after the huge breakfast and a lovely buffet with plenty of choice in the evening. Staff were very helpful with perfect English if you didn't speak Portuguese. The pool was lovely too and of course, a great place to play golf!
However, my one bone of contention was the fact that the staff cleaning rooms were a little too enthusiastic and therefore didn't adhere to their environment policy. It's a shame non golfers aren't allowed to walk around the property because it would've have been a good walk.
All in all a lovely place to stay.
