santo, it's classy & calm but still has all amenities like kids club, poolside waiter service, room service, daily cleaning

staff are so friendly and helpful good wifi great choices of pools

was nice - however, as we stayed 10 days we started notizing some things: the main issue was the wifi, it was crippling slow, impossible to use, which was very surprising for a 5star place

very comfortable option for us with free parking

i had requested early check in as we were attending a wedding in the town- the staff were very obliging

pool area is very big and never had trouble finding a sunbed

great pool

we stayed one night with kids

great rooms. good pool. great location

matilde was amazing and very patient with my wife and kids explaining what was offered by the resort

staff in restaurant and bar outstandingly friendly and patient with our poor portuguese

it's not your typical family location with kids clubs and music around the pool, etc

the kids loved the heated pool

we loved playing padel tennis and used the gym and pool facilities

note that the rooftop bar and pool are closed in the offseason

they have a wine list for room service so you can enjoy wine on your balcony

wifi coverage was only available in lobby area.

the ice cream parlour next to reception was a win with the kids and the restaurants close by a win with the

the relaxed vibe at breakfast

gym is a jock, consisting of a bunch of treadmills

parking is excellent

place to stay on a vacation with kids and family

pool + kids club + location

we were also served very well in the restaurant at breakfast time and at the olive bar in the evening

staff at gym could be friendlier

lovely pool and private well maintained gardens

my husband and son loved the golf

this is a private villa not so close to the main villa, which has it all (coffee, restaurant, golf, supermarket, atm)

some of the pool chairs and umbrellas at the communal pool are broken

a nice apartment with a good location. breakfast at clubhouse was good with very friendly staff.

breakfast was great,would like tea/coffee in the room.

virtually nothing. slightly warmer pool temperature would be nice

the pool was amazing with loads of different area to sit whether it be in the grass under a tree or

loved the pool and private access to the beach

a full bar service

was good and well controlled, lovley pool with nice views, easy parking

only one small pool. its a massive place with room for more pools or a much bigger one

breakfast was great too, plenty of free car parking

also, kitchen could have been cleaner

atriz) who upgraded us, the confortable suite & bed, the breakfast, the bns massage by telma, the location

kitchen and bathroom are stylish and beautiful

the pool was great we had it for ourselves

breakfast delivered every day on the door

kitchen wasn‘t very well-equipped, for a self-catering stay they could at least provide dish soap

pool is beautiful staff very nice and helpful

our property a double bed instead of a twin and another room which was booked for 3 adults had a kids z bed not an adults for one of the party

difficult situation when you are with a small kids

free wifi not very good

kids club staff were lovely nice restaurant good setting by harbour and beach breakfast good

pool was a great size and well maintained but water was very salty

in kitchen poor

we thought the bar was a little soulless

also, theres no light in the main seating area meaning you have to have the light from the kitchen on, which isnt great if you drop something at night near the patio

pool was very cold, snack bar food was average

maybe the outdoor swimming pool a little cold for my standard, but i'm not portuguese and not used to this temperature

- the gym opening times are late 9am-7pm, so if you want to use the gym before breakfast finishes you

lovely pool area, gardens are neat and tidy, bar looks out to sea views

-the gym is a little small, no mats

wouldn’t let a 6 year old get breakfast because she didn’t have a mask on kids not allowed to jump in the pool or use inflatables in the pool(pictures on the website shoe

the breakfast wasn’t the best.. more choice of eggs, bacon wasn’t cooked very well.

there was a spa and gym that we didn't use - but it looked great

getting tough to get chairs/loungers; pool not large enough to accommodate multiple lap-swimmers, kids/families, and casual swimmers without feeling on top of each other

liked gym, spa was inviting and among the best i've seen, , balcony had a lovely view, , staff were

no kids pool.

family and stayed over christmas, we really appreciate the outdoor pool which was covered for the kids

really interesting history, beautiful terrace with view overlooking the beach and a wonderful pool area

one or two loose floor panels by the pool

the food at the bar and breakfast was really good

fantastic service in bar and restaurants. fantastic facility, locationnand view

some of the waiting staff by the pool and bar were inexoerienced - keen but less efficient

if you travel with your family with kids or looking for a quiet and relaxing hollidays stay away from this hotel

much music, boozing etc being enjoyed by youngsters and kids alike until the early hours of the morning

with too much music, boozing etc being enjoyed by youngsters and kids alike until the early hours of the morning, but if

overall good value for money don't expect luxury and check in is way too late check out way too early bare that in mind

super nice experience. we really enjoy the bedroom and swimming pool!

no meniu for kids in the evening.

the breakfast was plentiful and tasty

wifi was a bit weird inside the apartment

was faultless but unfortunately the down side was the times when we were not at the wedding , the bar and restaurant service was very slow and food overpriced, our room was lovely but some of the

didn’t have wifi connection in two rooms,i was asking for help two times,they said they would send someone to

was a big hassle with kids and luggage

sometimes there was not enough space by the pool/ the kids should have their own pool

also no food room service so download the ubereat app - they deliver outside easily

our room was just perfect overlooking the pool and the sea

at the restaurant

cider only available at the pool bar

for kids and pools were great

very interesting for kids, cool water slide.

pool temp fine on days where there was enough sun

i loved the place , the gym is good, i did yoga on the grass and swam a lot in the indoor pool

breakfast, pool, dribking water at reception, birthday recognition, close to the beach, great

location excellent beach bar and neighbouring bar and restaurant

i wasn’t there for the spa or gym, so in the end this was not a problem for me, but i guess i would have worked out one

the pool bar was also good

om service was particularly expensive and not particularly great - the 2

special mention to sahil and daniel in oasis bar whose warm welcomes and infectious smiles radiated such warmth

breakfast buffet at bela vita is good too, the outside sun seating is great

we enjoyed all the activities on offer from padel, mini golf and crazy golf

also the gym is very small for the size of the resort

the cocktails fantastic,swimming pools tennis courts spa gym honestly you dont have to move our of the hotel you have it all there

needs an adult only pool too, otherwise you are plagued by privileged kids screaming with parents that are oblivious

the room was great, the spa is super, would recommend to anyone visiting the aea

the rooms are spacious

lovely place - excellent reception - koala club brilliant for the kids - will definitely go back

very friendly and professional staff. excellent breakfast. comfortable room. affordable price.

i went to the bar the first evening for a predinner drink, i was the only guest

lovely pool

a block away from the beach, nice swimming pools, great breakfast, cozy and spacious bedroom, clean

there was a bar and the breakfast was value for money and delicious

perfectly adequate breakfast

the hotel is a little dated, but has a very nice bar and terrace area overlooking the town, cathedral and castle

still not too keen on the breakfast coffee.

the staff in the bar was lovely, as we're the staff at breakfast time

gorgeous swimming pool at the roof

lots of free parking spaces

€10 room service fee

great gym, i used it everyday for my stay, if i knew they had a boxing bag i would have brought my gloves

breakfast, lunch and dinner have also exceeded my expectations

accommodation, staff and golf

of covid we decided to have breakfast at home, and the kitchen was lacking some basic things like juice maker and a coffee machine

villa - good size private pool quiet and relaxing but great location for other facilities like water park

only the swimming pool is small and tennis is far away.

great fitness facilities, good

breakfast is exceptional

some maintenance (painting) a decent gym and spa would have been good

breakfast, swimming pool, golf course, room, and location

hotel bar staff including sofia were amazing and could do enough

the gym is unwelcoming as it has no windows . the front of the hotel os in need of some care.

the pool was also super big and nice for a swim

the pool area is nice

a wonderful hotel amidst an olive grove, filled with intriguing works of art and with a lovely pool

the pool, the furniture, the rustic architecture

the pool and gardens are simply amazing - tranquil and relaxing

kids club could be better. kids pool could be heated. too cold in april

were disappointed that there was an additional charge to use the jacuzzi and gym

pool was amazing, spa amazing

the kids were thrilled with every moment, and the adults were equally satisfied

after dinner, in the bar/lobby the have a singer kids love it, the can dance and play

spacious rooms and lovely showers. good selection for breakfast. nice gym and spa facilities.

i also didn't appreciate having to pay 10 to use the gym each day of my

have lots of activities for kids as well and every thing was perfect organized

they have some water damage from storm in gym

staff helpful, breakfast had a lot of options, pool was fantastic, the room and bed are incredible

plus a minor inconvenience -- you must insert an unmemorable wifi username and password almost every time you use the internet

the food at the pool bar could be slightly better, but it s still good for what it is.

think it's likely that the room i was in had the worst view and wifi signal in the hotel

came with our 2 kids 5 and 1

also great the kids

the kids entertainers really went the extra mile.

very noisy around the pool

came with our 2 kids 5 and 1

remote location. maintenance around pool.

everything except the heated pool was very small

we greatly enjoyed the 250sqm apartment, the private pool, the hotel swimming pool, the restaurants - and a few typical portuguese restaurants 5' away -

residence, perfect area to spend some time, good restaurants, well equipped gym, interesting workshops, delicious breakfast, attentive

i slept in one room, and the kids + mrs stayed in the other; while it was quite nice to have some quiet time, it was missing

service on a high level perfect kitchen and room equipment

off season there’d by minimal little ones, but weddings are family affairs - so screaming older kids was an issue

the gym was a little tired and was super hot, given location.

we didn’t realised it would be a very big hotel full of families with kids. but all good.

got a lovely room facing the main pool & beach

modern setting. nice views from the pool. large rooms. fantastic buffet

i would like if one pool was heated and if the hot tub was free to use.

breakfast buffet was excellent with

spa is also fantastic with a range of services, pools, jacuzzi, gym, sauna etc

group of drunks at the bar at only 7pm putting their own music on a speaker and no one from the staff said anything

i would say it is a hotel more for adults although there were about 5 kids but they were well behaved
