Breakfast offering was very good and pool facilities excellent. The Botanic bar is a nice addition and the two male bar staff there are excellent! The boys on the front door (Concierges) are truly amazing!! Nice to see that the pool adult areas are policed and kept free from kids.

Our room was not serviced until late (after 4-5pm) for 3 out of 4 days. It wasn’t consistent with sometimes items provided and sometimes not. Suggest you either take the Gnocchi of the menu or make them yourself as presently they are like rubber. The main courses in the Asian restaurant were very flavoursome but only slightly warm.

We booked very last minute for a 5day babymoon and found this to be really reasonably priced compared to other options so weren’t expected the world but we were so so incredibly surprised!! It’s a fantastic hotel, really great quality, so great that it’s split between family friendly side and adult only side (which we were on). The room was so clean and nice and felt luxury. The pool was fantastic, so clean and we loved the pool bar with excellent food, it was exactly all we needed to relax on a babymoon and just loved it. The breakfast was so great, one of the best hotel breakfast buffets we’ve had in a very long time and we travel a lot! Great underground safe car park with easy access up to rooms or lobby. For any golf lovers this is right on an incredible golf course and generally the hotel grounds are so well kept and lovely. It’s about 20-25min drive from Vale do lobo and Quinta do lago and we just drove to them each night for dinner out where there’s such a huge selection. We really couldn’t fault the hotel generally, the staff are so friendly and we had everything and more that we wanted to just chill out for 5 days.

Do you really need a car to make the most to access the beaches and restaurants nearby, but we hired a car for our trip and it was super easy. The slightly further out from VDL/QDL location meant the price was lower and I’d take that any day of the week given Anantara’s great quality compared to some of the closer hotels. The hotel restaurant options were on the pricier side, but it wasn’t really an issue as we just then went out to various restaurants for dinners which were nearby and fantastic.

The hotel seems to be quite new.

Elevator didn’t work 2 out of 4 days of our stay. We asked the staff to bring our suites from the room to the car by the check out and we went to spa at that time. When we finish and got into the car , I wanted to change clothes and go to the trunk to take the necessary thing, but the suitcases were not there. Once I didn’t want to change the clothes, we will leave the hotel without our staff. The shower was moldy , some doors at the room closed with creaking sound. Live music promised every evening , happened from time to time. Food at the restaurants are overpriced, as the taste is mediocre and very salty. Generally hotel is fine, but minding all that the price should be lower.

The staff were brilliant, My son and I really enjoyed the hospitality. Breakfast was great and all the staff went over and beyond to make our stay memorable. The reception staff were all exceptional and our favourite was Miguel. Nothing was too much for him, and he always provided a service with a smile on his face. He really made our stay worthwhile. Thank you so much Miguel!

The only minor thing that needs improvement was the time it took the shuttle bus to pick us up from the Old Course back to the Hotel. I really hope this can be improved and that

Great location, nice staff and love the pool area. Second stay and would return again.

Had issues with the screen cast to watch movies and sink pipes seemed to be stuck but staff sorted it. Not crazy about the food options at the pool, need more variety. Also very expensive for food and drinks at the pool, a lot higher than typical Portuguese prices. I think it’s €4 for a soft drink can, and for basic ice creams. We were surprised at the sister hotel the Tivoli, they gave out free snacks and ice creams, and it’s less expensive than this hotel.

Adult pool excellent, comfy bed, design and room, AC, Service reception + pool bar area + breakfast, Coffee Station in room, size of room, amenities, cleanliness of hotel and room terrace, room service excellent service.

Not freshly squeezed natural orange juice in breakfast. For the price of 491€/ one night, and in the area of Portugal known for it's oranges, would be expected. Everything else in breakfast fine and nice speciality touches. To be considered to improve this point. Many cigarette buds outside the terrace between the plants.

The hotel is amazing. From the modern, luxurious rooms to the breakfast options we were blown away. The staff were welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make our stay special. One thing I really appreciated was the availability of gluten free options for food and how knowledgeable the staff were. As a Coelaic traveller this can be tricky, but here I felt at ease right away.

Service in the bar was quite slow on both occasions we ate there but the food was exceptional. Use of the spa facilities like the pool and sauna was free for members, but had to be booked which means that a spontaneous visit isn’t possible.

Everything was amazing but the customer service is the best ever – it is first class! They could not do more to help us enjoy our stay and make it unforgettable. It is an extremely clean, beautiful, comfortable and luxurious hotel, we had such a great time, can't wait to visit again soon! The shuttle bus to Marina is very convenient and the drivers make the journeys enjoyable. A perfect and relaxing place to have a holiday! Truly recommended!

You get what you pay for the star rating and everything to a high standard. Loved the pool and garden, a fab breakfast and great selection. We choose this hotel because we could bring our well behaved cocker spaniel. We had to comply to hotel regulations (quite rightly so to consider other guests). He stayed with us on our sunbed away from other guests, so thank you for being open to guests with dogs. We enjoyed our stay and visited your great gym onsite both days. All staff were very friendly and professional/efficient.

Would love to see eco friendly soap/shower gel, conditioner in dispensers in all rooms (all 4 star plus hotels should be doing).

huge room, extremely comfortable bed, luxurious toiletries and a beautiful pool area. All the staff were friendly and helpful and we really didnt want for anything. Breakfast was a highlight for my other half who is very demanding about these things! Plenty of choice, freshly cooked options and a delightful terrace to sit out on. We ate pool side a couple of lunchtimes which I really enjoyed too - extremely tasty food, lots of choice and a great wine selection. We didnt eat dinner in any of the restaurants but I'm sure they are good. Love the shuttle service! The pool area is comfortable and spacious and I like the addition of regular visits from staff with water and snacks!

Honestly I couldnt fault it - i wish the weather was better but not sure the hotel can accommodate that kind of request!
