Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms, although on the small side in the attached building, were stunning and comfortable with a little sink. The service was exceptional, with well-trained and friendly staff who made my experience truly enjoyable. The location was superb, offering great views and easy access to the beach. The dining experience was first-class, with delicious snacks and treats, and the facilities were top-notch.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms offered a great view over the garden to the sea and were perfectly well-appointed with a good size. However, the building was not as nice as shown on Booking. The location was nicely situated with a view to the ocean and a generous patio with comfortable chairs.
Although the room initially seemed small, it was well-soundproofed and serviced frequently throughout the day. The staff was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and attentive, providing a glass of fizz upon arrival. The location, despite external noise, offered beautiful views and a relaxing pool bar. The dining experience with Debora and team was second to none, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. The facilities were well-maintained with a great pool area.
I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The rooms were turned over morning and evening with treats left nightly, offering a breathtaking beach and sea view. The bathroom was exceptional, and the sound isolation was top-notch, allowing me to relax with the calming sounds of the ocean. However, the price was a bit on the higher side.
The hotel provided a delightful stay with spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms in a quiet setting. The service went above and beyond, ensuring a memorable experience with well-kept gardens and attentive staff. The location is fantastic, offering easy access to nearby attractions and a welcoming atmosphere. The dining experience, although with stunning ocean views, featured Greek traditional products but had minor setbacks. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, making the stay enjoyable and convenient.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms in the Garden House were spotless, bright, and airy, especially the one in the new section with a shaded patio opening to a beautiful landscape. Despite some noise from cleaning activities, the rooms were delightful. The service was outstanding, with attentive staff, a lovely touch for my husband's birthday, and amazing wines from Portugal. The location couldn't have been better, right on the Algarve oceanfront with fantastic views. The dining experience was a feast every morning, and the facilities were top-notch.
