Pros:

Welcome water on arrival, pool, towels and sun lounger matresses, breakfast included in the room rate, room cleaning staff were great

Cons:

Having visited 10 years ago the hotel is in need of repair and modernising, last trip was an onsite golf trip.

Despite being 5.5kms from Alvor marina there is no walking trail, need a car, urber amd or taxi. There is a hotel shuttle but there is a fee for the service.

Food and beverages way overpriced, €5 for 1.5ltr bottle of water that is €0.49c in spar Alvor, €14 Gin & Tonic, €38 for a dinner buffet which we didn't try and €17 for less than average club sandwich in the golf restaurant.

Pool lounger mattresses need washing or replacing.

Bedroom was on the small size.
