Not ideal for young people, no entertainment, no shows, no live music. Located just in front of the ocean, lovely ocean view, good breakfast, friendly front desk staff, but it is not enough to make this property "4 stars hotel" in 2023. As a very experienced traveler, I could say, it is definitely 3 stars quality might be 4 stars 40-50 years ago but not today, not in this century.
Booked using information from their Web site which advertised a la carte menu went down this evening to find buffet style one choice meat one choice fish complained to night reception who stated it had been suspended for groups. And that my travel agent should have informed me. One of the reasons we booked this hotel was its web site advertising wide variety of foods. Stayed on the algarve before the hotel restaurants where superb. So much for believing web sites.
First of all , we are deeply sorry for your displeasure, but our website was not updated about the service “ à la carte”.
We work daily to be able to provide an excellent service and we always bet on quality products for the preparation of all the meals served in our restaurant.
We regret that we did not meet your expectations, but in fact and based on the comments of other customers, we can see that our restaurant has had a growing affluence and to guarantee a greater diversity of food and still maintain the quality of the food, we decided to create a buffet.
We appreciate your words and hope to continue to deserve your preference.
Stayed there during the week days. Nice location and good pool and access to the beach.
The hotel was probably a great one in 1990s but now it is a good place if you like crammed rooms, old furniture etc. Staff are helpful and friendly.

We have been coming to this hotel every year for the last 2 decades and it had been a marvellous place to stay…had. To be fair, their consistently good views, varied breakfast and helpful pool staff are qualities to celebrate. But there is a vibe of an old giant trading on past glories. The beds are so hard that you have to have very good abs to get up, the paint around the outdoor pool is as crusty as me in the sun after few days and indoor pool has more chemicals in it than Ypres at the height of 1915. Pre-payment for rooms seem a bit of a further punch in the face. The rather dark water coming out of the bath taps are an odd choice of colour. And though we toast to the health of this place in the marvellous bar with terrific bar staff, we can’t help but think that the trading on past glories has finally run out of steam. Now, we might be in the minority as the world’s great and good continue to visit and so they should, but after years of loyal yearly attendance we must doff our cap to time, who is doing a terrific number on a previous titan of Sesimbra, now tired, and even itself desiring a holiday of its own.

We have recently spent a week here & we had a fantastic time .
The hotel has fantastic facilities & is absolutely spotlessly clean with very friendly & helpful staff . The breakfast was particularly good & very varied - something for everyone! The pool area was splendid with a plentiful supply of sun loungers & parasols . Towels & bedding were fresh every day f required . Obrigado ☀️🇵🇹
