We stayed for 11 nights at this really relaxing hotel. Highly recommend. The staff are all really lovely. We stayed in a family suite which had a lovely big balcony overlooking the pool. The pool by the suites was always quiet, I think because not heated like the other one but it wasn’t too cold in May / June. The sofa bed was quite small but our 7 and 5 year old were ok in. I asked at reception as we left and she said if we came again could request an extra bed in the suites. The main bed was massive - much bigger than our super king at home. No room would have a sea view as the beach is down the cliff via a board walk. Really long beach - we walked 50 minutes in one direction and had a coffee - could have gone all the way to Vilamoura I think. The kids club was fantastic and we made use is the 10-12.30 morning sessions. Enjoying some of the many exercise classes like yoga and Pilates. Didn’t get chance to us the spa. We had breakfast and brunch included which was a delicious buffet lunch. I hadn’t realised was included. On an evening we generally went to Lima the Italian restaurant which was on the ground floor of the family suites. They did pizza and fish fingers etc for the children and lots of veggie options. We also enjoyed the wine recommendations. We only went to main buffet once. It was 40 euros, 20 for children / free under 5. My children are fussy so there wasn’t anything really for them as just one child option. We loved our stay ♥️

The hotel is beautiful and had direct access to a stunning beach called Praia da Falésia. Breakfast was excellent. We appreciated being able to use the facilities on our last day after checkout, including the spa changing room, to shower after swimming. What could be improved is that we weren’t offered even a glass of water at check-in (even after asking) or with the buffet dinner, we didn’t get our complimentary drinks, and the room had many flies circling over the bed when we arrived. Despite these annoying details, it was a great stay overall and we would recommend staying here.

Lovely, romantic stay with great spa
We stayed here for 6 nights and I can tell you they were "epic"ones! The staff goes above and beyond to welcome you and to make your stay pleasant. From the moment we came I received a flower at the reception, Champagne, strawberries in chocolate in the room (we celebrated a birthday and anniversary). That was so lovely to find that in the room when you just come in from very far away. I really want to mention Riccardo from reception because he went beyond his duties and helped my friend to arrange for a big surprise for my birthday! That was really unexpected and I really appreciated! Also I would like to mention Alina from the restaurant who is so nice and very helpful. Thank you to all for your hard work!

We stayed during the "off season" (early March) and just wish they had a few more food options available.
