Hotel is not at 5* by my standards. It is pleasant but I cannot understand the 5* status.

We had to leave our bags with reception as we arrived early and our room was not ready. We were contacted by reception once we could pick up our key, only to be lumbered with our bags and pointed in the direction of our room so we could lug everything across the resort.

The room we were in was basic and dated. The shower over the bath is dangerous! Its extremely precarious getting in and out.

The gym is not worth visiting equipment is rusty and old and limited.

We ate in the restaurant once and found it to be extremely salty.
Breakfast was nice enough.

Theres not really much to report, its a clean hotel with a pool, thats about it.

February in the Algarve

A lovely little resort, great for a couple's getaway. We were upgraded to a family apartment from a single one (I mentioned it was my partners birthday) which have us a great amount of space and a full kitchen to cook our own meals which was great fun and a cheaper alternative to eating out all the time. It was off season (early Feb) so it was very very quite with hardly anyone around, I can imagin it being a much more lively place during the summer when you can use the pool and sit outside a lot more. I would say it is a little in the middle of nowhere. Great if your there to telex but if you are explorers like us you will need to be able to use Uber (the Uber service was also phenomenal with all the rides picking us up within 5 mins of me ordering them). Overall a beautiful and clean place with a great atmosphere, just more geared to relaxing then adventuring.

Vanessa and Vanessa greeted us at reception and they were both so lovely. They gave us local dinner recommendations for which we were incredibly grateful. The apartment was very comfortable for my family of four. We mostly were interested in the beach and that was a bit of a drive. The facilities here seemed more geared toward local families with small children. It was a lovely place for that agenda. We could not get a cup of coffee in the morning which a very personal disaster for me and it didn’t seem interesting for the staff there. All to say, we enjoyed many points of the stay and some were behind the ball.

This is our sixth visit to this resort and it is in the most beautiful setting, I realise that there are some changes being made at the moment to the décor, with reception and The Olive Bar having already been completed, however the furniture in the dining room is old and very worn with the woven chairs with holes in and mismatched with banqueting chairs, it doesn't give a good first impression, also the woven outdoor furniture near the Olive bar is very badly worn with pieces of rattan sticking up.
There seems to be an on going problem with staffing, there are a few long serving members of staff that work very hard but they are carrying some VERY lazy staff members, the breakfast room is prime example, I watched a female staff member kick the tray of a high chair out of the way on the way to a table with a guest, the same person rather than removing the place mats from the glass table sprayed and wiped around them!! This dining room needs a shake up, also the warm pancakes have gone replaced by cold, very cold pancakes and waffles.
Please don't think I'm being over picky but this is truly the most beautiful resort being spoilt by very small details, incidentally whilst out there I was talking to an English lady that had lived in Carvoeiro for 30 years and she told me that the basic wage in Portugal is 3.5 Euros! Staff investment needed.

Nice relaxing resort; 10 mins drive to Carvoeiro

I would recommend this resort for the following reasons:
Very nice resort with spacious rooms and good bathroom. Decent adult pool and good sun loungers; excellent health club facilities also.
Breakfast was buffet style - decent selection but not sure that I would give it a full 5 stars, nonetheless, that would not prevent me from returning to this hotel.
Service: very friendly staff and particularly so on welcome but overall I did not consider the service 5 star and that was particularly evident at meal times. The staff are very friendly for the most part but I am just not sure that any manager has explained to them how to give five star service.
Also, it is necessary to factor in taxi rides to and from Carvoeiro in the evenings - definitely not walkable!!
Otherwise, I would recommend this resort for a really nice hassle free chilled out holiday.

Beautifully maintained throughout and set in a really nice part of the Algarve. Our apartment was very spacious and easily accommodated our family of three kids. The beds though where as hard as ive ever slept in and made for uncomfortable nights. The service unfortunately was a letdown on too many occassions, one person in particular was extremely rude and couldnt crack a smile if you paid them and unfortunatley that does spoil the atmosphere. Put the one or two poor waiting service to the side, the remainder of the staff could not have done enough and tried their best to compensate for them. The food was beautiful and the half board deal we went for had a great menu, we thouroughly enjoyed it. Breakfast was top notch with a great selection of food, the bar and its staff where very good also. The indoor pool was a great addition and the Spa was excellent. All in all, we would return for sure but would be seeking a room with more comfortable beds.

This is a great place to stay, lots of facilities. Food and drink prices are on the high side, which possibly encourages guests to eat and drink in the villages outside.
The pool bar could also open a bit later than 5pm. Do try to get accommodation with breakfast included as it's £16 a time.
