Pleasant and fairly clean place to stay in, it has very very helpful and top-class staff who was on shift. The breakfast is sensational, and the location is beautiful not far from top class golf courses the Praca, sea and other restaurants within the area. The atmosphere of the hotel is special.

The location of the hotel was marvellous, good in the centre of vale do lobo. And it was also close enough to many golf courses, many areas, and the restaurants. My room was adequate with tea/coffee making equipment and glassware. The views over the sea were pleasant.
