This place was a steal, staff was amazing, located in quiet Porches, we enjoyed every part of our trip. The villas were modern and very well thought out. Minutes from Chapel Nossa and surrounded by picturesque scenery. Truly would 10/10 recommend, looking forward to returning.
Loved the dance party and band on the night we checked in. Staff at the front desk were helpful and friendly. Room was spacious and comfortable and enjoyed the outdoor deck. Nice private location and easy to get to other towns in the region. Highly recommend this hotel!
Pros, the room was very clean and new, pillows and mattress were very comfortable, towels were thick and absorbing, air conditioning worked well, there were water bottles and coffees pods in the room, the community kitchen had microwave, fridge, coffee maker, electric kettle, utensils. Location was walkable to beach and old town. The check in process was a little unconventional, I provided my name and passport info when they sent email via expedia, able to checked in early and communicate via...
Second time staying in this hotel on my business trip. Great location and overall wonderful experience, definitely recommend. Thank you for the hospitality!
The hotel is amazing with a luxury style, the price is worth for what you get which is high standard if you compare with closest hotels. The breakfast is various and you have wide selection of warm and cold breakfast with fresh fruit every day. The staff is outstanding at the reception the ladies at the breakfast and the waiters at Serenata rest which serves fantastic fusion dishes always with a theme from the original Algarve cuisine.
beautiful resort exceeded our expectations. the grounds are great and the beach/pool is beautiful. great staff and food all for a fair price! good location but usually just need a quick taxi to get to the near by towns!
LOVED this property. Traveled here with our kids, and absolutely loved it. The room was clean, huge, and with plenty of privacy. The pool was fabulous, with tons of seating options, a great bar and ice cream counter, and a really nice restaurant for a casual lunch. The buffet breakfasts and dinners were really good, and had tons of options. Parking was easy, and appreciated that we were tucked away a bit in a quieter area of town. And the access to the gorgeous beach is so close; wed also...
We had a smaller basic room. Had everything we needed. Beautiful pools and beach access.
The front desk team were awesome and extremely friendly and helpful. Would stay here again.
Incredible resort, so much to do. Great staff, great food, fantastic place. If I had to find any downsides it would be hard but maybe spotty/slow internet, tv wasn’t great (rarely used anyway), resort restaurant food was pricey. Overall it was incredible and will be heading back.
