Great hotel and can confirm it after exploring surroundings. I wouldn't stay in Faro or Albufeira and this was perfect hotel comparing with others because it's clean, very quite and spacious apartments and area.
Unfortunately we was struggling to find out the nearest grocery shops but hotel management team informed us later when we asked more information. Local public transport is limited and better ask them to print off time tables or rent your car or book Uber taxi which we used all week consistently and it worked fast and price was acceptable.
Breakfast choice:
You will see served English breakfast, very good and strong coffee and fresh fruits.
Unfortunately they don't offer half board option and you can get daily soup and snacks for dinner for extra charge which is smaller comparing with local restaurants.
Taxi driver explained us that Pingo Doce is best supermarket in Vilamoure area and it's 3km from this hotel. Local restaurants serve traditional Portuguese dishes and prices is lower than Faro or Albufeira city centre.
Important: buy your mobile SIM Cards from MEO mobile or LYCA which gives best value for money. So sorry that I didn't buy it at airport first because shops don't sell it anywhere and locals couldn't tell where to buy until we found one shop in Faro. Thanks to Indian guys. Very helpful.
After all we explained our situation and point of view to hotel management and they listened us carefully and probably when you will come here they will sell you organised excursions, SIM cards and local maps and taxi services. It's cheaper to use Uber app.
Would I stay here again? Yes! 100%.
Because it's large and comfy space for living and enjoying own time and garden.

A wonderful place very conveniently located (close to the aqua park if you are travelling by car). The restaurant by the pool is lovely and the service was great. The premises have tennis courts, swimming pool, saunas, children’s playground. We spent a lot of time by the pool and enjoyed food and drinks from the restaurant. Definitely coming back.

We did have an amazing stay overhere! It began already with the welcoming from Pedro, so enthusiastic and hospital! We felt welcome right away.
We were very early, but without asking Pedro called the housekeeping to check if there was almost an apartment ready and we were lucky there was one ready! This is just amazing pro-active service. Due to this we could enjoy the Algarve for a full extra day, thanks to Pedro and the housekeeping team!
During our stay Pedro gave us serveral recommendations with regards to sightseeing and local restaurants. All was perfect and we really enjoyed it. Every morning he was standing there with a smile to help us out, fantastic!
The apartment was shortly cleaned everyday, which made coming home comfortable. Big compliment to the housekeeping.
The apartment has everything you need and we did even have a backyard. The atmosphere was very laid back at the swimming pool and always space to lay down.
We will definitely come back in August/September! Thanks everyone.
Beau & Erik.

If you want complete peace and quiet this is the place to go, however you are very remote and will need a taxi to restaurants and supermarkets as there is only a very small cafe serving lovely home cooked meals. There is no bar as this is a Wellness resort.
The Yoga teachers are amazing and i loved all the classes on offer the spa treatments are very expensive but the full body massage was one of the best I've had.

Hotel is nice and staff friendly but the beds are like a rock.
