The major problem whilst we were there was the consistently fluctuating power supply. This applied to the majority of the rooms in the hotel. Lights would frequently grow dim then brighten and there were many power cuts. Similarly heating the room using the air conditioner became difficult. This made relaxation impossible.When we arrived the extractor fan in the bathroom was not working. It took 3 days to fit a replacement. This meant that any showers taken in the first few days led to the room becoming damp for lengthy periods.The hotel was about 45 minutes walk from Luz, but a significant part did not have street lighting. As we had no torch we decided not to have an evening drink in the local bars. I certainly wouldn't risk driving the car under the influence.I'm sure that if the holiday had been later in the year the faults described would have seemed less important, The days would have been lighter and warmer.The hotel itself could be described as a 'gem' but only if it sorts out its electricity supply!

From the grounds, to the hotel rooms to the staff to the food everything was really exceptional. This really is a neat place to stay with very clean and large rooms. The staff onsite was extremely friendly and outgoing. Highly recommend this place. A little hard to find but worth it!

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The setting is gorgeous - pool view one side and mountains the other. The apartment was small but equipped well (although no oven) but it felt light and airy and was perfect for 2 people. Would suggest this complex if you like the peace and quiet but want to be a short drive/taxi ride to Luz or Lagos.

The hotel is slightly outside Praia da Luz so expect a 2km walk to the village if on foot; This didn't put me off as the hotel had all the better views of the sunset, hills and trees for being outside main tourist area and scooters were easy to rent. The rooms were cleaned each day, the staff always had a smile and were helpful booking massages, boat trips for us. The on site food is reasonable and good and the pool was clean and surrounded by well kept shrubbery, trees We went as a couple and thought it was a lovely setting, but there were quite a few happy splashing families poolside. If you are entirely on foot and hate walking maybe get something closer but I'd definitely recommend this overall.

We booked this hotel because of it's close location to family we were visiting in Lagos. The village of Espiche is within easy walking distance for eating, but otherwise a car is essential, and you have to turn right at the second Espiche road sign and U-turn at these traffic lights to enter the road to the hotel as you cannot cross solid white lines on Portuguese roads. Although too cold to use when we were there, the pool is lovely and all rooms overlook it. Cannot comment on the dining facilities as we did not use them. Staff were extremely polite and helpful, with towels changed everyday.

Very good clean and stylish new hotel. Nice big well appointed room with massive bed! Lovely lady running the place. Only two problems - we were there in Jan and the tiled floors were very cold some rugs perhaps?) and the wireless broadband was pricey (should be free these days really). For the price we paid though it was a bargain, would definitely go back.
