General Information
What to expect: Located on a cliff top by Falesia beach, this white hotel has several wings stretching out into the landscaped gardens of pine trees, black and white mosaic stone pathways, and Moroccan-style wooden bridges over streams. From the reception to the golf course, the hotel has a Moorish influence with patios, fountains, wooden screens and signs in typical Portuguese azulejos (tiles). Guests enter into the main lobby to find a tiled floor, antique carved tables and chairs with tapestry upholstery, seating areas separated by wooden screens, a lobby lounge with an old fireplace, where leisure and corporate guests can cool off, take a break or have an intimate meeting.
Amenity highlights: As well as a nine-hole golf course and Golf Academy, there is a new golf clubhouse offering drinks and food. Guests can also have tennis lessons, have a dip in one of the hotel swimming pools and take the children to the children’s village before heading for one of the various restaurants and bars.
Insider tip: Dramatic and theatrical, or cruel and indefensible –whatever your opinion, Portuguese bullfights are a regular fixture in nearby Lagos. Catch one every Saturday in the Marina do Lago bullring.
