Nice resort to unwind and relax. There is no shopping or much to see like in Lisbon so it is a great way to spend 3 or 4 days to end a trip. The resort is lush but very expensive and there are many lush resorts much closer to the states that offered much more. Breakfast buffet is one of the best in the world and I travel world wide. My room was 1700 sf with 2 bedrooms and 3 baths, the most expensive offered. Housekeeping was good but not great. Check in is slow. And it has a strong time share sales feel to it. The property is large and you tour it in a golf car, they push tours as well. No one greeted us upon arrival. So staffing is a little weak and service at any of the dining areas was slow. You have to hunt people down. It is a little too zen and no one really talks to each other. There are 4 pools all salt water, only one is heated. There is a private beach but off the 4 days all 4 had yellow flags with an afternoon that was green so you could swim. Water was cold and a lot of seaweed. I liked the gym and they have a great spa with wet and dry sauna as well as ice bath and ice shaven bath if you are brave to do it. I love it and you feel great. Nice playground area for little kids. Cool hiking paths along the cliffs. So I would rate this 8 out of 10. There are much better resorts that check more boxes than this one I. The Caribbean, Hawaii and Mexico. But if you really want to see the Agarve and time in Portugal I would say it is a nice place
