Barely re opened in q1 2023 under IHG management, we loved it. We didn't mind the location on the hill 5 mns drive from the beach and 25mns from Lisbon center across the bridge. The room was gorgeous and brand new, just a pity that they stopped the refurbishment at the bathroom and didn't changes toilets and bidet too. We had a nespresso machine in our room and a balcony with a view on the pool and the ocean. The hotel has a massive warmed indoor pool (25m or longer), a huge outdoor pool and a kid pool too, in addition of a nice indoor playground, its spa is gorgeous too and the gym with yoga classes as brilliant as the rest. It is located on the same grounds as a golf course, so you are surrounded by lush greens, beautiful environment. The main cons were mostly the absence of specific side pool food or beverages despite a pool side bar, excruciating high prices for a hotel when it came to food or drinks in Portugal (4€ for a coffee from a nespresso machine and 15€ for cocktails, 25€ for a steak..),we avoided as well their breakfast which price was extravagant (37.5€ a day for 2 people and a toddler! Crazy high, while we spent max 7€ at a cafe 8mns walking distance for the same, and the service level in their bars was not very good. As well the lack of IHG status recognition is to be noted, they have joined IHG 5 months ago, are getting high status customer only thanks to IHG, but did not upgrade us despite a mostly empty venue and never gave us our welcome points. Hopefully they ll improve that soon. In any case we loved the venue very much and would have loved to spend money on f&b if its pricing was fair.
