Stories Shared by Happy Guests

Great Feb Golf Break
Just returned from a week’s golf break. What a great week - a difficult week for hotel staff but you’d never have known; staff were so welcoming; breakfast was fantastic; we had 2 x evening meals (inc Valentines menu) in Kamal and they were of the highest quality; golf shuttle worked so well; both San Lorenzo and Pinheiros Altos were in good condition, clearly benefitting from the winter rain and some decent growth conditions.

Lovely week in a great hotel.
This is our second visit to this hotel and both have been wonderful. Lovely staff, great comfortable rooms and excellent food. I really struggle to understand some the the negative views. Is definitely 5 star for us. The rooms may not all be sparkling newly decorated, but are large, clean, very well equipped and maintained. Had good bar food and our one night in the restaurant was excellent. For our second week we are staying in a 4 star Pestana hotel also in the Algarve and it’s like a tired basic Travel lodge in comparison.

Mike C Customer

Kangaroo Club
By far the best thing about the hotel (if you have children) is the superb Kangaroo Club. Beatriz who oversees the operation is an absolute star who the kids gravitate to because of her warm nature and enthusiasm. Our five year old daughter is usually hesitant about going into kids club but was extremely keen to do so every day. There were excellent crafts, activities, computer games/movies, an outside area with games and a trampoline.


David H Customer

Four day break
Had a great 4 night stay in October 24, very spacious comfortable hotel, friendly helpful staff, special thanks to Racquel who made our dinning experiences in the Kamal restaurant very enjoyable. Spacious room with wonderful views from balcony.
