The hotel offers a lovely atmosphere with clean and comfortable rooms, though I did notice a scrapyard view that wasn't ideal. The pool was a highlight, being large and well-kept, and I appreciated the beautiful garden and the accessible braai areas. However, the check-in process was slower than expected, which was frustrating. Overall, it’s a great choice if you're looking for a spacious and pleasant place to stay with good amenities.

Located conveniently near the beach, I found that I had to drive to a parking area to access the main beach, which was a bit inconvenient.

I had a mixed experience at this resort spa. On one hand, the location was peaceful and provided easy access to the beach, plus the pool area was lovely. However, the rooms weren't quite what I expected and felt a bit cramped for our group. The staff could have been more accommodating, which added to the frustration, especially for the price we paid.

We didn't dine much, but I did enjoy the home-baked Alentejo bread when I had the chance. It added a nice local touch to our meals.

My experience at this resort spa was quite varied. The location offered stunning views and easy access to the beach, which I really appreciated. However, the room was a bit uncomfortable due to the lack of ceiling fans in all the bedrooms. The service was friendly, but I had some unpleasantness regarding unexpected costs. Overall, it provided decent value for money, especially considering the amenities, but it could use some improvements.

Rooms

The room was spacious, but there was only one ceiling fan in the main bedroom, making it less comfortable during warm nights. Air conditioning had to be used since I couldn't keep the doors open due to monkeys outside.

I really enjoyed my stay at the resort spa. The rooms were modern and spacious, offering a comfortable retreat after a day of activities. The staff was friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. However, the dining options could use some enhancement, particularly at breakfast. Overall, it’s a great place for relaxation, but the dining experience left something to be desired.
