"Beautifully situated hotel a 2min walk to the beach. The hotel common areas are kept beautifully but the rooms are dated and not in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Could seriously do with a walk in shower rather than a shower over the bath which struggled to keep tje water temperature it was either scolding or freezing! Breakfast was delicious and really varied, and cooked poached eggs to perfection!"

"Apartment 848, clean and spacious. What was a really nice touch arriving after 10pm was fresh bread, butter, jam and milk. Thank you! Wifi in apartment n restaurants. Close to the Tennis club but we choose to use our breakfast voucher in the Doce cafe which was a 1k walk, which was lovely but u can use the resort shuttle taxi. The 3 staff in Doce were brilliant each morning, Fantastic cocktails in beach club too, it was quiet in October but great music by DJ pool water is cool but refreshing! We enjoyed watching the tennis & Paddle and would definitely book if we were back. The beach is flawless and lovely to watch the golfers. Really nice wide spread resort, the hire car was handy when we decided to eat off site."
