Hochklassig in allen Belangen

Sehr persönliches, kleines Luxus Hotel. Freundliches Personal, immer hilfsbereit, super Aussicht mit Palmen, einmalige Sonnenuntergänge, Essen wie erwartet überragend, tolle, grosszügige Grün-anlagen um den Pool. Einzige kleine Kritik:EUR 27.50 für einen Aperol-Spritz am Pool scheint mit doch etwas gar teuer zu sein!

Maravilhoso

A localização e os jardins são maravilhosos. O quarto é confortável e o pequeno almoço é muito bom. O acesso à praia é óptimo. Só não apreciámos o jantar, talvez o chef não estivesse inspirado nesse dia. A salada de peixe servida na esplanada da piscina é excelente, o chef Francisco é extraordinário. Os sumos no restaurante da praia são divinais. O lugar é um verdadeiro paraíso.

Delightful

The position of the restaurant terrace overlooking the sea is delightful; we saw some wonderful sunsets. The breakfasts were very good, the evening "degustation" meals were amazing. With the bars by the pool and on the beach there is a good choice of lighter meals as well. The staff were most friendly and welcoming.

Take your stay to another level!

It came with great fanfare and it surpassed our expectations. It has a great location, beautiful and manicured gardens, but what puts it above most is their personnel, who is serviceable without being intrusive, caring and lovely. The restaurant is food for the ages, the views are eternal. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

Pluses: Gorgeous facilities (pool, beach, resto, gardens), large rooms, helpful staff, great neighborhood, perfect beach proximity, and of course the restaurant is wonderful. Negatives: We were in room one. The shower/ bathtub is configured strangely so shower was a little uncomfortable to use. Bathroom could use some upgrading generally. Bedroom way too dim. There was just not enough light for a room of that size and the room doesn't get much natural light due to the heavy latticework on the doors. Common areas also very dim. These are minor issues though. On the whole a pleasant place.
