The rooms were obviously designed by a man. The lighting in the bathroom area IS NOT good for applying makeup, there aren't nearly enough hooks to hang wet items without getting other stuff wet and there's no place to hang long clothing/dresses. Only one side of the bed had USB ports in the night stand, the other open electrical outlets are on the desk which is across the room from the bed. That means you have to GET OUT OF BED to silence your device's wakeup alarm. The hotel doesn't have irons and the laundry facility needs 24 hours if you want anything pressed.
All that said, the location is great and beach access is convenientish, our room was a good size and our pool view was much nicer than having to look at the parking lot.

really nice and beautiful resort. Good service, great pool area and access to a great beach. Those looking for quiet nights, should note, that the hotel hosts a lot of parties, weddings, etc. which cause noise until late at night. but overall I recommend.

This is not a 5-star hotel. Location is good if you’re looking for something close to the beach, however there are no restaurants close by so you’ll definitely need a car to get to anything worthwhile. We stayed in a Club-room and it was an okay room. It had a nice view of the resort, the bathroom however, isn’t very well planed so you wont be able to get ready at the same time. The hotel does not have irons, they only offer an ironing service. The maids are friendly and clean well but for our 7-night stay they left things in our room three times and took one of our key-cards to the room with them twice. The rest of the staff are not friendly or service minded, only one man working in the Mar Club was able to meet 5-star service. We had lunch one day at the Sunset-restaurant and waited 45 minutes for our food only to be asked what we ordered after that. We decided to not have lunch there again. The breakfast was okay, not much to complain over except again the staff. Once you have gotten your coffee, no one asks if you’ll like more and we were only informed on the last day we could get anything other than brewed coffee. On our last full day we went to the reception to confirm our late checkout that we asked for when we booked and again when we checked in only to be informed we would be changed €50 for every hour we “over stayed”. We decided to leave by the normal checkout time because we felt uncomfortable even though we had confirmed late checkout prior to this. Not once were we asked how our stay was.
I could go on for a while…if you’re a family looking for a beachfront resort this is probably for you. I wouldn’t recommend it to any couple or anyone looking for 5-star service.

Everything is amazing here. My only negative points are the lack of natural orange juice for breakfast - not to the standard of a 5 star hotel. And also that to get scrambled eggs, one had to go to the omelette queue which was always long and took around 10 minutes.
The rooms are are big and comfortable; the direct accesses to the beach is very convenient; the main pool is huge and always enough sun beds for guests. Had a very relaxing family time and definitely plan to return next year.

Don’t recommend, avoid at all costs.
They are advertising as a family hotel officially, in reality it’s poor hygiene, food options are poor, kids area looks like prison in corner and loud music all day and all night long, up to 3 am blusting it making up stories about special Portuguese laws allowing that.
Beach is nice but it’s Mother Nature not them who provides that. Disgusting, hope they get bankrupt and some better hotel takes over.
