This was a great spot! The walkability to the beach was very convenient and the pool area was clean and nice. It was a great place to relax in the afternoon after a long day of exploring the Algarve. The gym, indoor pool, and spa were very nice. There was parking on site which was nice. The only downside was the walkability to go to the town, or restaurants so there was only 1 restaurant on site, and a small beach restaurant close by that stops serving food at 5pm. However if you are looking for just a place to relax and unwind with beach access without having to drive this is a great spot.
