This hotel is stunning, we would return in a heartbeat - thank you for a lovely break!
Service: We cannot fault the service at Anantara hotel. Every single staff member was polite, attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
Rooms: large, comfortable and clean. The only fault was there was no iron in the room although I???m sure it is available on request
Breakfast: the buffet selection was always varied and pleasant. A specialty egg station cooked to order as well as large spread of almost anything you can think of from fresh fruit to fresh honey and full English breakfast to name just a few. You are served tea and coffee to your table, and once again the staff are amazingly attentive.
Dinner: the buffet at Victoria restaurant was average and not 5*. We were half board and only here for a short stay so ate here once only. You are able to use your half board at the other restaurants with ???25 per person credit. We ate at both the Emo restaurant (fine dining) and the Peppers restaurant (steakhouse) in the sister hotel Tivoli and the steak was the best I have ever eaten! The experience of the marina views and a live singer it was very romantic. Would highly recommend!
Location: the location of the hotel is not near anything specifically as it is located on a beautiful golf course but there is a free shuttle bus available from the hotel to the Mariana at request all day until 11:30pm - Uber is also accepted out here at ???5/???6 euros one way - this was perfect when we wanted to stay out a little later. The Marina itself is full of bars and restaurants with live singers - the Atlantic bar is worth a visit.
Pools: there are two pools, one large for families with a bar for snacks and bed service all day as well as a smaller pool for adults only. This offers another smaller champagne bar. Both serve tasty food to either you leave bed or sit at the bar.
Purobeach: the hotels sister hotel Tiovli has a beach club, this is available to book from the hotel reception. With free beds, water and fruit on arrival and a DJ from the afternoon this is a perfect way to break your stay up from the pool. Elegant but chilled vibes. We loved having this option.
To summarise, we would recommend this hotel to anyone, families and couples alike.

Just arrived back from a 4 night stay. What an amazing hotel. One of the best we have stayed in. They have a free shuttle to the marina which is great & staff are so friendly. They also have bikes to hire which we used to go to the beach one day. What a relaxing place, we can???t wait to come back next year!

On arrival we were given two rooms, numbers 3 and 7 - miserable view opposite concrete tennis court, whilst we did not expect full frontal, we did not expect this view.
Room cleaning not until 5.30 on two nights, turn down was missed three out of seven nights, and was a very basic turndown.
No water given at night or at pool.
Dining room interior decor very basic, not like five star deluxe hotel, and long queues on few of the days for breakfast.
Food outlets disappointing, area for lunch at both pools, but limited choice.
In high season pools would have been overflowing as there was not much seating available.
Lobby was bare and unwelcoming. The main bar in the lobby very very small and uninviting.
Not sure how this hotel gets a 5 star rating, more like an upmarket motel.
Pool service staff very very nice and restaurant staff too, though food offerings, especially a buffet we saw one night, was very basic.
Room scales not working despite the fact we asked for batteries twice, and no tissues until we requested same.
Many beautiful hotels in the Algarve, this is not one of them.
