I'm now on my second day at the hotel, and overall, it's been a good experience. The rooms are comfortable, but I did struggle a bit with the bed sheets; maybe fitted sheets would be a better option. The receptionist was cheerful and very polite, making check-in a breeze. However, the location is gorgeous, near the Sao Rafael Beach, offering a nice beach area directly in front of the hotel. The dining options were great, with plenty to choose from, and I particularly enjoyed the pool areas. Despite some minor hiccups, it's been a pleasant stay overall.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and came with a beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean. The shower door had a small issue, but the room was beautifully cleaned and had a decorated cake and a bottle of champagne laid out complimentary, which was amazing. The staff was always helpful and knowledgeable, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect for my ideal holiday, and the dining experience, although just okay, was very tasty. I highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and relaxing vacation.

I had a mixed experience at this 5-star hotel. The rooms were great with amenities like Nespresso coffee and a fantastic breakfast, but some spots of mold were not pleasant. The service was not up to a full 5-star standard, needing to be more friendly and polite. The location was perfect, right in front of Sao Rafael beach, but some facilities needed an upgrade. The dining was top-notch, although choices were limited in some cases.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were really comfortable overall, but had some small issues like the shower door not closing properly and broken towel hooks. The service was okay, with some staff being respectful, but others seemed disinterested or unwelcoming. The location was amazing, with direct beach access, but could get crowded with events. The dining was disappointing, with expensive and average quality food. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, clean, and just a stone's throw away from the amazing pool and beach. However, I did notice some cleanliness issues. The service was a mix of very helpful staff and some instances of neglect towards English-speaking guests. The location was superb, with great dining options nearby and easy access to the beach. The dining experience was delightful, offering delicious dishes with plenty of choices. Overall, a great place with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but there were a few instances where they forgot to clean my room even after multiple requests to do so. The service was good, with fresh towels provided daily, but at times, there was loud talking in the corridors. The location was fantastic, right in front of Sao Rafael Beach, making it easy to explore the beautiful spots around the Algarve. The dining experience was decent, with a tasty buffet selection, but it could get busy and finish early. The facilities were in good condition.

This hotel offers a spacious and comfortable stay with a Nespresso machine in the room, but the open-plan bathroom design can be a drawback. The service is hit or miss, with some staff being amazing while others come across as rude. The location, just steps away from the stunning Sao Rafael beach, is a major highlight, but additional service charges may catch you by surprise. The dining options vary, with a mix of excellent choices and more expensive dishes. Overall, a good choice for a beachside stay.

The hotel offers very spacious rooms with a huge and very comfy bed but might be too dark, making it challenging to put on makeup due to poor lighting. The service is extremely helpful and accommodating, particularly in assisting with different needs. The location is relaxing and comfortable for a quick retreat, though it may not be the best for evening outings. The dining experience is okay for those without dietary restrictions.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, albeit a bit softer than what I'm used to. They were very spacious, featuring a fantastic wet room, and a balcony with a lovely view over the gardens towards the sea. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, notably Paulo and another gentleman in a grey jumper, always ready to assist. They were instrumental in finding excellent dining options nearby. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to the beach and local restaurants, though more information on reaching other towns would have been appreciated. The dining experience was superb, complete with a buffet that exceeded my expectations. Overall, a great value for money with excellent facilities.
