We've been coming to this area and driving past this hotel for about 35 years and decided to stay couple of nights before transferring to our timeshare at Quint do Lago. It's a nice hotel with great staff and pool but little else. There is a free on-demand minibus to the beach which is a big plus. We were about surprised to find that in a few places, the carpets were worn right through..Not what you'd expect from a 5* location. Breakfast was "OK" but lacked inspiration (and decent bacon!). Weirdly, other than the scrambled eggs, all the other types of eggs on offer were stone-cold even when apparent freshly served. We felt the restaurant menu was also lacking inspiration so ate at the beach or a neighbouring resort within walking distance. Probably a great hotel for groups of golfers
