Reviews and Ratings
Our stay was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were very spacious with a lovely view and great location for hiking and dining out in the evenings, but it was too hot at night. The service was excellent with housekeeping and tours available, yet there was a paid airport shuttle. The location was fabulous for exploring away from the coastal buildings, although the sounds predominated. The dining experience was very good with a good range of choices, but a bit repetitive. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers rooms with smashing balconies and grand views, along with very friendly staff. However, some noise from construction and early morning use of electric blinds was a downside. Overall, a wonderful stay with excellent service and beautiful surroundings.
The hotel was great except for some noise due to construction and early morning electric blind use. The room storage was excellent but a bit too hot at night. The location was amazing with glorious views of the Monchique mountains down to the coast.
