9.2/10 Wonderful! (34 reviews)

I'm a real estate investor and travel with a healthy budget. For our 23rd anniversary, we chose a resort-style hotel in the Algarve—and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. The hotel has a sleek, Bond-movie vibe that photos don’t capture. The lobby is stunning, everything is spotless and well-designed, and the staff were friendly and professional. The pool area is beautiful, with three pools and plenty of comfy loungers. Our room was spacious, fully renovated (since 2023), and incredibly quiet—great for light sleepers like me. Breakfast was outstanding, especially for gluten-free options—lots of variety, including muffins, breads, almond milk, and an amazing banana bread. The location is peaceful yet central. Perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. It’s not an adults-only hotel, but the only kid-related noise came from the pool and added a nice energy. Some reviews criticize it for not being a "true" five-star, but for the value, it’s exceptional. I’d absolutely recommend it.
