I don't write many reviews simply because I visit and book so many hotels for work. However, when a place is prefect, as this hotel is, I'm happy to let everyone know.
The hotel design is simplistic and sleek with attention to detail and furnished with the most beautiful accents, gorgeous throws, weaved basket work and lots of teak. Even with all of this, what makes the hotel even more desirable are the wonderful staff. Everyone we encountered was top notch.
I'm terrible with names but a few standouts were the housekeepers! I've never had such a clean room. Ever. The most handsome concierge in all of Portugal was a wealth of information and a joy to interact with. The restaurant staff were chatty and engaging. The breakfast buffet was again top notch. And, thankfully, no sign of the dreaded holiday British Heinz Baked Beans!
Lastly, the rooftop is stunning. The only trick I think they miss is not selling those absolutely stunning throws. Please, please offer them for sale.
Thanks for a great stay! We'll be back.
