We planned to stay for a week and left after 2 days! On the first day of arriving I received a parking ticket as I went to check in. On the second day I got a parking fine because it was not clear that the bay I was using was a doctor's parking place. This was the worst deal I've had in Portugal. What you get is a 3 star hotel at most with cheap furniture, no facilities in the hotel. You have to track to the other side of resort, it's sister hotel for pool and sauna that close at 9pm, that is if you manage to get a towel before 7pm and a locker key that is never available. The staff is not rude just unhelpful. I was relieved to escape this resort. The manager did help to cancel one of the parking fines. However, it did not help I lost so much time and effort dealing with tickets. I was woken up every morning by the deliveries just below the balcony, which also had no view whatsoever. I am not surprised that there were no other nationalities I can see other than Portuguese and French. Avoid at all costs, even if it is the last available place in Portugal!
