A beautiful minimalist hotel ( looks like everything bought in that famous Swedish lifestyle store), where the rooms are large and the hotel and grounds very clean! Blumm Bar is too cool for words in terms of decor while the spa is just gorgeous with professional friendly treatments, for all ages! The daily complimentary fitness classes are well run and fun, while the outdoor pools are thoughtfully arranged. There are lots of young children staying over local holidays, but it still manages to be quiet and the views from the ocean view rooms and suites are worth the extra cost!

I wish I could leave positives about this hotel but our experience so far only a few hours in has been horrific. We checked in after a very early flight only to be left at the desk arguing about my reservation. I was told for 30 minutes that I have two unpaid rooms even though I had paid. It was only after insisting that the lady looked into it properly and found that one reservation was paid. Without any apology she just said well "leave your number we will call you when the room is ready". The manager too was uninterested in solving in and walked off mid way. We finally get checked in and they had elected to give us twin beds even though the booking was for one double. At this point we are too tired to even complain. But I expected a lot more from a hotel of this standard and I definitely will not be coming back. From the treatment of other guests that we saw if we were caucasian we might have got a warmer welcome but it seems to be that ethic ethnic minorities aren't overly welcome here.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. I did not want to leave!
The hotel was clean, modern, quiet, peaceful, a lovely warm indoor pool and kids club for the little ones on rainy days. The grounds are lovely to stroll around, very well kept.
It's the perfect place for a wellness retreat. The spa is lovely and the massage brilliant. We went to the yoga classes and pilates on offer to the hotel guests.
It's a lovely walk down to the beach from the hotel (not ideal for the unfit, elderly or anyone with a disability as there are alot of stairs). Saying that there are other accessible beaches a short drive away.
The view from our room of the sea was lovely. We visited the hotel off peak so it was perfectly quiet like having an entire hotel, staff and grounds to yourself! Our own private oasis! Housekeeping were a dream, the staff here are all wonderful.
The food was of very good quality and a lot of choice for carnivores.
Things that could be considered for areas to improve:
A few more local Portuguese dishes to choose from at the buffet dinner.
Better choices of food for vegetarians or vegans.
My husband said the vegetarian food on offer was a bit tasteless, the staff did say they could make a special vegetarian dish for him, but I think it would be better if they printed out a special menu for vegetarians to choose from if they dont like what's on offer in the main restaurant.
For guests travelling with babies (which there seem to be a lot of) maybe a little baby toiletry kit for the rooms, would be a nice touch with some wet wipes and a swimming nappy or something like that.
We had such a perfect vacation.
Thank you to all the staff we met!
