DO NOT STAY
DO NOT STAY HERE ! The Resort Looks to be falling apart…. Broken tiles floor tiles inside the Hotel & dangerous sharp tiles on entry to the apartments , Broken tiles to the pool with sharp screws / broken decking causing further hazards , dangerous broken steps between apartments . Paint work and parts of the Apartments hanging off . Weeds and rubbish everywhere. Dirty steps & lifts . DO NOT STAY.

Horrible
Absolutely horrible. Trash literally all over grounds and no one attends to the property grounds. Stains and dirt on all public spaces. Obviously zero maintenance. I stayed for serval months and no repairs were done to the broken stairs leading to one of the pools. Painting of the buildings seem to have stopped and aren't coming back. The pictures on this website are not accurate at all. It looks nothing like these pictures. Not even the furniture is the same.

Formula 1 …..no chance !!!
I’ve stayed here before… was hoping for some improvement this visit & it was not my first choice… it seems all the real “5 star “ Hotels were fully booked. Restaurant and Bar seems to be better than my previous experience and the buffet was nice . Friday 7th November we set off to walk to the Autodromo .. but “How “ not one sign anywhere! Following another group behind the old pool building we trampled our way through bush and scrambled down the banking ( falling and hurting my knee ) why Is there not a path ?? Clearly it’s needed . Saturday 8th we walked again looking around … this resort is poor , rubbish by the grounds , bins overflowing, buildings crumbling, gardens a mess … it’s a real shame as it could be great ..

Perfect stay
Good hotel, fantastic service and food was very good
AVOID Unless you love screaming motorcycles and 30 min to the beach
The hotel seemed okay at first, until we went out by the pool and had to endure screaming motorcycles participating in open track activities. The racetrack is in this hotels backyard.
I am an vehicle enthusiast and ride bikes myself, but I did NOT travel 4500 miles to experience the Algarve region of Portugal to be subjected to the incessant whine of high powered sports bikes.
When we decided not to stay after 1 hour on premises we were given a hard sell to stay. We were forced to stand around for 20 full minutes until the manager could find the time to make the pitch. But we could not be persuaded.
Upon returning home, we discovered that the hotel would not even offer a partial refund of our three nights.
I would have understood them keeping a single nights fees...but all 3 !?!
This is robbery pure and simple. I could perhaps understand if they were full...but the place was practically deserted.
Very unhappy with the entire experience.
Unless you are a re a die hard race fan, I suggest you find something quieter and not as far from the coast.
