I hate hotels where the staff believe they are doing you a favour. This is a very pleasant place to stay and my only reservation was with the staff. Front desk was helpful and accommodating, but I found the breakfast service staffed by people lacking in politeness, frankly even sullen. The lunch we had was excellent and well served, just... More

A tasteful, historical hotel in an excellent location above the main beach. It is therefore well situated for the bucket and spade holiday if you want to venture out from its sanctity. Plenty of good, well priced restaurants in the vicinity. We went at low season so it may be a different proposition in the height of summer. Staff were... More

My mother and I stayed here for 4 nights in mid-April. Everything from beginning to end was perfect! The hotel is really quite unique, from the absolutely goregous interior, the setting above the sea and beach with magnificient views from the pool area, the amazing restaurant to the spa! The location is the best on Praia da Rocha. The entire... More

Exremely nice weekend in a wonderful hotel. High quality service, superb restaurant and top design and decoration. The view from the rooms and the sea view from every place in the hotel. We were lucky with the weather. The beach is 2 minutes walking and you can run by the sea or use the fitness centre. The swimming pool is... More

A gem in Portimao! Being a hotelier myself I was surprised to find anything like this in Portimao. Service was superb, very attentive and professional. Nice restaurant with a beautiful view. Excellent cuisine - thank you chef for the degustation menu! Thanks to the restaurant staff for nice wine pairings and thanks to the bar who spoiled me with the... More

We stayed more than two weeks in this hotel. There are a number of features that are truly five star and impressive: The interior design, the view from the rooms with seaview or the bar service. Yet then the service and quality is really hit and miss and they try to save money which negatively impacts the guest experience. The... More

We have just returned after a week holiday in Praia da Rocha, my first time in Portugal. The hotel, both inside and the grounds outside are beautifully & tastefully appointed, with great attention to detail. On arrival our bags where whisked away immediately and we were given a welcome drink while we checked in. We had booked a deluxe room... More

This is a very good hotel, with a super restaurant, located in a drab city along the Algarve coast. Recently redone, the hotel and compact grounds overlook the wide beach--Prai da Rocha--at Portimao, Portugal. This 5 star rated Relais et Chateau property is beautiful, and the views from many rooms are great. The historic main hotel has been wonderfully restored.... More

We arrived early and were greeted by very friendly competent staff. It is only a small hotel, but a real gem. We looked at a couple of rooms and they were both very clean and tidy, with plenty of space and large bathrooms, with both bath and shower. Large wardrobe and good storage space. The whole hotel had a warm... More
