This was my first ever trip to Portugal. I went with a group of 23 for a 4 day golfing break. Whilst the hotel itself was clean, tidy, staff very friendly and the breakfast was well catered for. The golf course was great with regular drinks being made available by the cold drinks cart, but then comes the big downside,... More

This was our second visit to the Hotel and Golf course. It is situated about 50 mins from Faro airport and is easily reached via the motorway.

Ten days in Portugal was certainly very welcome with the current inclement weather in the UK, however, we did seem to experience unusually high amounts of rain during our stay. This resulted in the Championship course playing like a swamp - losing balls on the fairway happened twice and losing balls in the rough was just expected. The bunkers were... More
