Cabo de Santa Maria Island Romantic Vacations

Close to alvor, nice pool , large grounds.

Excellent experience Oscar and George were especially great

Great hotel

Queues for everything here. Checking took nearly an hour, queues for sun beds, for food (I’ll get to the food), for drinks (you can get only 2 drinks per person, so a family of 4 need 2 members to go to the bar). Always running out of drinks around the pool. The food was terrible. I stayed for 6 days and ate in the hotel only 4 times. The worst cuts of “meat” used which resulted in mainly bones. Oh and the “kebab hut” took 30 mins to queue up for and 1 per person. So again, if the family want to eat from a snack bar they all need to queue for half an hour together. Really not what you expect from a hotel billing themselves as 4 star. Staff didn’t want to help with anything. Bars closed at 11, but last orders at 10.30 and lights turned off and kicked out at 11. You can then head to the piano bar, but must pay for the same drinks that you were just consuming in the beach bar. Additionally a security guy (PSG logo on T-shirt) would come around the pool each day at 4pm and aggressively “police” what was happening: people messing about in the pool, throwing a ball in the pool (yes! A ball!), sitting on the side of the pool drinking. All things that people were allowed to do for the 7 hours that not a single staff member was there, but at 4pm suddenly there were rules. The staff were predominantly not Portuguese and there was a huge language barrier. Don’t stay here

Great hotel

Staff were great especially the reception staff. All of them at the reception Beach view was good.

Everything was perfect. Such a classy place and excellent value for money. It wasn’t too crowded and the room was absolutely beautiful. Thank you to all the staff who were so kind and welcoming

Really relaxing few days, quiet pool, amazing breakfast and friendly staff

They are closing end of year as property is being redeveloped by luxury hotel chain.

Clean room, well equipped kitchen and very helpful staff. I would recommend and consider returning here. It’s ideal for a relaxed stay but plenty of places to visit near by and uber is easily available. Best part only 20 mins from the airport
