    Book it, don't even think about it! Nice hotel, attentive staff. As an example: every time you decide to sit down at your table for breakfast, you will definitely put up a chair :). Restaurant 2 stars, one of the best, where you had to be! Every day - a new menu. staff is young, sociable, responsive, professionals of the business! The view from the hotel is incredible. Azure water! good beach, hotel has no sun loungers on the beach! it is not a problem, sun loungers are in a beautiful garden, near the pool, to the beach - 30 meters (absolutely no problem to walk, if for you it is fundamental. then 50 meters from the hotel's beach gate, there are sun beds from the beach restik (to the hotel is not related) - only 15 euros (2 sun beds + umbrella), gate to the beach is opened by a 4-digit code. with a card you do not need to fiddle around, as it usually happens in other hotels, In general. there are good, warm memories, In case! I'll definitely look again, At least I suggest you book for 3 nights. At least. For your information: from 18:30 to 12:30 there is a tide... the ocean is not very beautiful and water is cold, At this time everybody usually walks along the beach. looking at the rocks where crabs live), from 12:30 everything changes for the better.

    Everything was great!

    luxury experience
    high prices
    limited options

    Michelin-star dining experience, exclusive beach access, beautifully landscaped gardens

    High prices seemed unjustified given the limited room service menu!!! Sound insulation issues in ground floor rooms detracted from privacy!!! Guests seeking local entertainment options may feel bored !!!

    Everything else is a plus. Staff is on top of it. Nature, lawn, sun loungers are all on top. No one's bothering anyone. Great breakfast. Poolside cafe bar and ocean beach cafe. Restaurant **Michelon on level. There's really no la carte menu. Every day, new test menu of six dishes, worth €110 per person without wine, is the usual price for such establishments. Decent wine list, discovered quite decent Portuguese wines, separate kind word deserve dishes and cutlery (silver, change after each dish), porcelain design, quality and original. Glass is also at the same level. By the way, dishes can be ordered at the hotel boutique. Ohnm is ready to send. Its free parking.

    It's not a bad number overall, but... shower room, toilet and washbasins are one space, so the shower room is just a place that isn't separated from the rest of the room by anything. No partitioning, Was located right at the hotel, nothing at all. Correspondingly, spray and instant misting of a huge mirror over the washbasins. second point is that there is no bidet, absolutely nothing. Well, final touch is a transparent window 20cm wide and height to the ceiling between the s/node and room. as specially arranged, it is neatly arranged in front of the toilet...! It is difficult to understand its functionality?? the "spice" is off the charts, No sun loungers on the ocean beach. no bar, no service at all, Just a cafe. it works only inside itself, no service on the beach itself,

    extraordinary flavor
    limited privacy
    tranquil atmosphere

    Does it deliver?

    The culinary experiences are nothing short of extraordinary, with every meal crafted to perfection, an lovely flavor journey.

    Limited privacy in ground-floor accommodations made for uncomfortable moments, detracting from the overall tranquil atmosphere.

    fine ocean views
    heated pool
    tasty room service
    weak wifi

    Very nice sunsets and great vibes

    We had the best time chilling at our room with fine ocean views watching sunsets. The heated pool area was perfect for lounging after beach walks. One evening, we enjoyed ordering room service for dinner, super tasty! Really wish the wifi was a bit stronger, though. Great trip overall!
