    Place was nice and it was a short drive to the Seven Hanging Valley trail in the early morn.

    Lobby was hard to find. Room did not buffer noise from birds outside - especially at night time.

    Liked the location - convenient to access the Seven Hanging Valley trail and nearby Sand City exhibition. Liked that parking was on-site. Breakfast was very good. Grounds looked nice ... however we were not there long enough to enjoy them.

    The pillows were much too thick and hard. I asked for thinner, softer pillows and the receptionist tried to find some, but they were really no better than what we had.

    It was clean, the receptionist was very kind and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was fabulous.

    When we arrived, we had an upgrade, which was welcomed as I had a really bad bacterial infection and was inside most afternoons. Great location, clean, cozy, quiet! I would have loved a table and more comfortable chairs in the suite. Staff was so happy and always asked if I was getting better. Especially the breakfast staff! Thank you!

    A spacious accommodation with a well maintained park

    If you’re not familiar with the area, try to arrive before sunset on your first day. The roads to the accommodation were not well lit at night and they’re some narrow roads you’ve to be cautious too.

    They upgraded us to a bigger room, which is actually a suite. They provided us with pool towels in the room so you could bring the towels to pool. The size of the room is big and as muslims, we had more than enough space to pray. The hotel is actually surrounded by a well maintained park, so you could enjoy a walk around the hotel anytime you wish. The restaurants are well manned, and the waiters are friendly. They can tell you where to get the best Fado show in town, and where’s best to visit if you have limited time. They have two kittens roaming around, which I personally think they’re the owner of the accommodation 😸

    Room paintings a bit old dated and not very stylish but this is very subjective. Even though we had our AC off in our room, the machine placed in our terrace was still running and was quite noisy.

    Biggest bed I have ever slept in, really confortable. Super clean, great staff. The resort itself is great, with lots of walking spaces. The pool was beautiful, clean and with salt water. Breakfast very complete and loads of healthy options. We just stayed one night but we will definitely be back :)

    We only ate at the hotel restaurant once after a long day travelling, and whilst we were impressed with the food for the value changed (€30 per person for 4 courses), there is a problem with the waiting staff. The only problem is, there aren’t enough of them. At one point there was one waiter trying his best to get around all the customers. We feel the staff would have been happier and provided a better service if they weren’t rushed off their feet.

    Gorgeous property set in well maintained grounds with amazing sea and land views. The rooms are spacious, well decorated and equipped. Suite 210 has a hammock in the balcony with stunning sunset views. The hotel is quiet and peaceful, offering the perfect place for a relaxing break. The pool is an adequate size and well looked after with a pool bar with plenty of food and drink options. The pool made a beautiful backdrop to sit and have a drink by in the afternoons. There is no evening entertainment which made a refreshing change, allowing those who just wanted to hear the sounds of the crickets at night. All staff were friendly and welcoming, with nothing being too much trouble. Breakfast was plentiful, open at decent times to cater for early and late risers. Much was the same every morning, but the cakes and pastries were different every day, providing different options and a chance to try different items.

    We spent a wonderful week in a comfortable 2 bedroom villa in Vale d'El Rei. Upon arrival, we were offered an upgrade to spacious, clean and fully equipped, with a private parking space villa, it's perfect for 4 adults. We are delighted with the picturesque, convenient location of the hotel and, above all, with the cleanliness and top quality of the service. The staff is exceptionally polite and helpful, the restaurant serves good, hearty breakfasts. The intimate surroundings of the swimming pool give a feeling of peace and relaxation. We will definitely come back to this lovely place.

    Only problem was a noisy AC unit from the balcony next to ours.

    Just stayed one night so we could easily visit the beach and caves but wow, the hotel was amazing value. Great rooms, excellent breakfast, efficient and friendly staff... Considering another vacation to just come and stay here.
