Luxury Collection - maybe a long time ago.
There are many beautiful beach resorts in the Algarve, I’d advise against going here. The staff are disorganised and haphazard, everything is chargeable/ overpriced, the rooms lack sound proofing in the hotel, there are ants in the bathroom, there is scaffolding and paint fumes in the hotel, the villa we stayed in needed vast maintenance and was unclean, the beach is cramped, untidy with limited deckchairs. Most restaurants are closed or under maintenance, there are no watersports, there are no loos on the beach and the beach Mare restaurant is falling apart after a storm. All the pools are cold and crammed full of children and the golf costs a family of 3 over £500 for 9 holes. Luxury Collection? There are plenty of nicer places for the price they charge with all the hidden extras. Algarve and the people on a plus are beautiful just not in this place sadly :(
Disappointed
We visited the resort during the Easter school holidays and, unfortunately, our experience did not meet expectations. • The kids’ club required booking at least two days in advance, which was quite inconvenient. • The sofa bed provided for the children was very uncomfortable. • The kids’ club was not included in the stay and was relatively expensive. • Approximately one-third of the restaurants were closed during our visit. • Overall, the experience did not reflect the level of luxury we had anticipated.
Wonderful stay. Football camp was brilliant!
Fantastic stay! Picturesque location with high standards and services.
The highlight of the holiday was the football/soccer camp for our 11 year old son. He plays at academy level and Ben and the coaching team at Estima Sports kept him challenged & sharp with quality drills while making sure he had fun.
Never again
Whilst the hotel is lovely and our suite is fab, we would never come here again. They have five swimming pools and we’re not particularlyin the school holidays but there are so many screaming kids around and no quiet area for adults. Such a shame. We did ask about an adults only pool but they don’t have one and seem to be completely disinterested in allocating one so we would never come here again. Our bad I guess, we shouldn’t have risked it but we play golf and it’s right on the course. Date of stay 9-16.6.26

Not my idea of 5*
I wouldn’t say this is a 5* hotel. I mean, each to their own it depends what your looking for but in my opinion is a 4* The grounds are kept extremely well but the hotel is so so busy, AC in rooms naff, rooms are ok, clean but pretty basic with horrible views of the car park. Most of the staff are rude, and food is extremely average and expensive for what you get. Pools owner crowed and loungers are naff. Would I stay again? Nope
