Terrible beds, worse food. Hotel is understaffed and the staff they have are mostly rude. The food is an absolute train wreck of grease. Turkish sauna was broken. The "thermal" water is not hot, but luke warmish. Locker room was disgusting. The property is beautiful and being wasted by imcompetent management. Stay elsewhere, eat in Monchique and stop by for a walk around the property.

It was OK, everything is stuck in the 70’s. The buffet dinner and breakfast were great, and we had a jazz pianist over dinner which was awesome. We walked down to the thermal pools €20pp extra, and they looked very uninviting, so we swam in the outdoor pool. I would not recommend and wouldn’t go again

Welcome to resort was great. Unfortunately there were too many steps to the pool to negotiate. Dinner was a buffet with limited choice but was very good. Mix up over what was booked and paid for resulted in us being presented with a bill for dinner in the restaurant which was unfortunate. Eventually restaurant manager agreed to sort out with reception. Good breakfast with lots of choice.

The place is beautiful. Breakfast buffet is plentiful and tasty. I would have given it a 5 but when I called before booking I was told they have spa services available upon request. I told them we wanted massages and treatments and I was told just give 24 hour notice. For this reason only I booked the place and drove 45 minutes to beach every morning and then back to beach in the evening. When I arrived I was told no services are available until after August 8th. For this I would have stayed on the beach and not wasted time and gas. Before arriving I also asked for two beds, We arrived to one bes. The lady was very kind and gave me two beds but the room STUNK. The next morning I made then aware that the AC unit is not functioning properly and wreaks of fungus and stool. Nothing was done about this, we had to sweat all night long and I mean sweat, miserable sleep. I was so tired I slept all the way back to Lisbon in the car. The pool is great but no towels and no chairs. Obligated to sit on concrete until someone left. I absolutely love the outdoors. Being from South America I am use to these resorts and when they get it tight, its a perfect stay. I would have loved some spa treatments since I work very hard and really needed that downtime. If they fix those things the resort is a perfect 5. They also need a small vending machine for when you are starving at night. The refrigerator and safe nonfunctional. Due to the stench of fungus we had to leave suitcases in car.

Great stay - lovely place.
Stayed here for two nights in a garden bungalow room. as part of a long weekend break. We enjoyed the thermal bathes which are situated just a few steps away from the hotel . The gardens and pool area were very relaxed and pretty . There is a nice bar on the site which closes at six which seems a bit strange. Maybe it’s because we’re out of season ? But was a lovely spot for a beer. The breakfast was good with lots of choice.. we did have one issue which the manager sorted very professionally and quickly which we were grateful for. Really lovely place very happy .
