8/10 Very good

Very good but not 5 stars
Nice hotel on a beautiful beach. Definitely a 4 star hotel but for sure not a 5 star. Breakfast buffet was big and very good, staff very friendly. Unfortunately my room was very cold despite the heat set at the maximum. Also they are still using a wall mount blow dryer which really does not dry long hair.

A mixed bag
Cold room despite the heat set at the maximum 27°. Old interior And overall overrated. Direction link to GOS sent me several kilometers away. Staff are very polite. Breakfast had a lot to offer but not much on the healthy side.

10/10 Exceptional

I chose this hotel because of the Expedia VIP Access label and the good nightly rate. The hotel is looking tired and in need of a refurb. Very expensive dining and drinks options too. I was disappointed I had to pay €10 for a half day on the loungers at the beach area. A hotel on the beach should at least offer its guests a great beach experience without additional charges. Wi-Fi was not available in our room upon check-in but we were moved to a new room quite quickly. Having just come from an exceptional 5-star experience in Lisbon at the Epic SANA, I’d be hesitant to say this is a 5-star hotel. Breakfast options were good - and the pool area is wonderful. With so many options available, and having chosen the VIP Access option - I’ll suggest looking at other newer options in the future.

Chairs in the room were stained. The room itself could have been cleaner. Staff was great.

Very nice place--basically right on the beach--if you haven't been to Portugal before you may not realize even on the beach generally means there's also a cliff or hill involved. Here too but a very short walk down. Great dining options--the breakfast that is included was good but they don't keep things like eggs, bacon and sausages in chafing dishes and were cold. Had dinner at the Atlantico Restaurant on property--have the seafood cataplana-its amazing! I would return here in a heartbeat. The ocean view and the vibe of the whole place was very inviting. Jonathan the bartender and Ilyana who checked us in were very helpful.
