Pool had broken tiles that cut the kids feet and they didn’t do anything about it.
Staff were a bit rude

Buffet breakfast was good, pastries and cakes excellent, pre-cooked buffet not so great but eggs to order were great. Pool was lovely, plenty of sunbeds. Free parking to rear, valet parking on arrival. Pleasant bar for a late night drink.
Some rooms have been renovated (apparently). Ours wasn't and felt very dated, despite this the bed was comfortable and we paid a reasonable price for what we got.

Overall facilities and location. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Shower in the bath- no walk in. This is poor in a 5 star hotel - and potentially dangerous.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The parking was free and so easy to go into the hotel. The lockers for golf equipment were a bonus and our golf shoes were cleaned which was really nice. The hotel location was excellent and the reception area was well laid out. It was very easy to contact the reception staff who were always in attendance.
We felt that the bar food and food provided by the restaurant could have been better. The towels and gowns in our room were rather worn and old. These really were our only concerns. The breakfast was excellent and live up to our expectations. We probably would have eaten in the holel most evenings but the one time we did, was not really what we expected for a 5 star hotel.

great location in vale do lobo, friendly and helpful staff. Definitely worth paying for the better rooms, they were fab and a great size

pool was way too warm
9.0
The absolute best thing is the heated outdoors pool, it was fantastic! The other great things we loved were the super friendly staff, the breakfast selection, the size of the rooms and the kids club.
I think in general the price point was a bit too high. My only other comment is the wifi being slow.

Location was spectacular. On the beach inside perfectly manicured Vale do Lobo. Breakfast was great.
Parking should be done by the valets and guests must always have parking. Rooms need updating.

old school charm, very clean, wonderful breakfast.
more ambiance in the evenings - suggest more reasonable bbqs by the pool or cocktails to enjoy poolside

Bedrooms that have not been renovated are awful.

lovely staff, nice room, lovely pool
the pool deck is old and unsafe(many loose boards) and should be replaced as a matter of urgency.
on occasion the pool deck needed more regularly cleaning.
drinks are generally too expensive at the hotel.
a five star hotel should also have a fully equipped gym.
8.0
Reception staff, client services and the morning buffet staff were really helpful.
The relationship with San Lorenzo golf is great.
There isn’t a gym but there’s space for tennis courts that I didn’t see being used once.
