Best holiday we’ve had as a family

What a holiday! We went as a family of 13. The hotel on first impression was beautiful, spotless. The staff were so welcoming and amazing throughout our 10 day stay. We had three children with us under 13 and they had an amazing time as did the teenagers and adults. The pool is the selling point. It’s huge and never had any issues with getting beds or seats during the day and night. Massive shoutout to Miguel and the entertainment team they got everyone involved throughout the day and night and created such a great atmosphere! The bar staff were friendly and great chat, shoutout to Antonio on the bar and also the housemaids who cleaned our apartment every day with fresh towels and lining. Only 10 minutes walk into beautiful town of Alvor such a hidden gem. First time we had been to Portugal as a family and it didn’t disappoint. Our only negative feed back we had was the evening meals especially for the kids. It wasn’t great except the bbq nights and 1 or 2 other night but the breakfast, lunch and snacks were superb. I wouldn’t say the main meal was a massive issue because we all still ate something but could have been a better variety for the smaller ones. I would definitely be back again as it was an amazing holiday from start to finish. For the price we paid I’d probably go as far as saying I’d easily had paid more for the stay as it was the best holiday we’ve been on as a family to date. Everyone was so friendly, the hotel and guests there it was just a great atmosphere it really was amazing.

TripAdvisor Review
Great holiday experience!

Great hotel with lovely helpful friendly multi lingual staff.

Located a short walk from town with lots of choice of restaurants, bars and shops which are open late.

The area is nice, clean, and quiet too!

The hotel is really nice. The reception team are ace, always up for a laugh Leonardo and Paulo in particular were great!

The layout is good and the pool area is large with plenty of sunbeds and NONE of the stupid towels to bag a spot nonsense etc.

The hotel and pools are kept spotless.

The food has been varied and lots of choice. There are two main restaurants and they are spotless with great service.

The staff are superb, polite, efficient, what more do ya want?

Our room on the first floor was spotless spacious, quiet, cool with a balcony . The bed is enormous and comfortable slept really well.

The rooms were cleaned every day and were spotless when we came back. The hotel gives you two cards to get in to your room.

There is a beautiful spa, a masseuse service which was superb and highly professional.

Free usable WiFi !! Entertainment every night which to be fair was good! There animation team had things going at intervals all day, none of which was in any way intrusive or pushy! The aerobics in the pool was popular!

We had to leave at 330pm on our last day, and check out was 12. They’ve got a lovely solution for that too: lunch voucher provided free. Bags with permanently manned staff could be put safely packed away, with easy access and then free use of spa showers to prepare for the way home!

First rate and well done!! Will definitely come back!

TripAdvisor Review
Great. Fairly rated, unfairly reviewed.

I think is is one of the most accurately rated hotels I've ever been to. I also think some of the negative reviews are rather very very harsh. Spent a week in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of September as a couple and the hotel has been great over all. The staff are ALL wonderful and a delight to deal with. Literally everyone. The animation team as well, yes they don't come and insist and grab you like other hotels teams might do but.. how old are you??? If you want to join in, just join in when they announce. The team are so helpful and nice and friendly, I rather liked that they're not too pushy.

It's worth noting that this is one of the most constantly clean hotels I've ever been to in my life, I mean everywhere is clean, all the time.

The rooms are exceptionally spacious with a seating area that has a sofa, its own TV (separate from the bedroom's TV), a mini fridge freezer, electric hob, utensils, and a microwave and ample storage space!

The bed was very spacious and very comfortable. So were the pillows.

The bathroom is also very spacious and fine. The swimming pool has to be amongst the biggest you've ever been to for sure.

The food always had lots and lots of options, I've eaten my weight in different types of fish and sea food, however, despite the variety, the taste was ok at best and never hot, weirdly enough, always warm! But yeah you won't leave raving about the food.

The beach is very lovely with bus going and coming from it frequently. If you want sunbeds and an umbrella at the beach though it's €12 for half day or €17 for full day.

Because we went mid September, after the children have gone back to school almost everywhere, there were few numbers of kids generally so there wasn't a lot of noise generally. The entertainment at night is not something we attended but the sound came into our room sometimes unfortunately.

All on all, worthy of a 4 star rating and much better than other 4 star all inclusive I've been to before when you compare to the rest of Europe. If you compare to Turkey though, that's a different story because Turkey will always win £ for £.

Modern resort with great food and friendly staff.

A lovely, clean and modern 4star resort with great food, friendly staff and regular shuttle buses to the beach.

The location is ideal if you want to be away from the noise and hustle of the nightlife, while still being close enough to enjoy it. An Uber will get you there within minutes and at a very reasonable price.

Overall, a great resort with a relaxing atmosphere, excellent service and a convenient location. I’d happily stay here again.
