The hotel is in a great location with excellent facilities. There is a lovely pool area and the staff are excellent. It’s right beside the beach where there is an area set up for the hotel. Some of the rooms need updated and are not 5*. We had booked a Classic room with a land view. The view was overlooking the air conditioning units and the bar. We requested a move and got a room overlooking the golf course. It was still a Classic room and although very comfortable, the bathroom had a shower curtain and a shower head that fell down! The price is as you would expect in high season but the Classic rooms need upgrading.
This is a lovely hotel in a great location. All the staff were super professional and friendly. We stayed in a premium room which was spacious, comfortable and clean. We had a mini bar fridge and coffee machine. Lovely golf and sea view. Breakfast was delicious, very fresh and eggs cooked to order by the delightful chef. We ate lunch at the pool bar and everything was tasty. The pool area is lovely and relaxing. The pictures don't do it justice. The hotel has reserved beds on the beach and serve snacks which was fantastic. Bar staff at night for an evening drink were so friendly and professional. The only observation is that parts of the exterior are very shabby. They appear to be upgrading in stages. This is a shame and takes away from the hotel. However everything else was relaxing and enjoyable and we are planning to return next year.
in its day it was the best . i stayed there in 1971 but it has lost its charm and become a little soul less. if you just want to sit around a pool all day its fine i believe it is under new management and they have decides to charge €20 for a beach chair . as my rooms were over €400 it is a major irritant and tells you all
Melani Viegas, hi, I travelled to your hotel as a solo traveller early September 2025 and enjoyed so much, I'm coming back on 3rd September this year, and I cannot wait!
Staff were all so lovely and helpful, premium room overlooking golf and sea was great, and food excellent.
Really looking forward to seeing you all again!

I was staying at the hotel with some friends and we all had our own rooms. One of our party suffered a most unpleasant experience whereby a handwritten note was left on her balcony with a phone number to ring offering a sexual encounter in very crude explicit terms. Whilst this would have been unsettling at best as she was in a room on a lower floor overlooking the golf course and so open to an intruder it was the hotel staff’s reaction to the incident that was the most shocking. A receptionist’s initial reaction was to ask if the guest herself had been out looking for men as we were a group of ladies on our own - a totally outrageous and hugely insulting and inappropriate response to a distressing situation. I cannot believe this response and from a woman too in 2026 - it shows complete lack of empathy or any form of training in customer relations. To make things worse, when the Manager Manuel Baltazar finally appeared and made contact (only when pressed to do so) his attitude and demeanour was both arrogant and disparaging. He sat back in his chair with his legs apart and his hand behind his head in a typically masculine assertive manner and showed absolutely no sympathy to my friend - he made no attempt to try and understand the distress she had been caused. He only apologised reluctantly and rather spuriously for what had happened after 15 minutes of being asked to! He did not take the whole incident at all seriously so I would recommend that no women on their own ever stay at this hotel. I shall certainly never stay there again.
