The resort is beautifully set in the luxurious Quinta do Lago area, boasting breathtaking surroundings. However, it faced issues with ongoing construction that led to occasional disruptions, such as water and electricity outages. While the apartments are spacious and fairly clean, they are in need of updating, especially the pool area. The overall atmosphere is quite serene, making it suitable for relaxation, but families with teens might find it lacking in activities and local amenities.

The ground floor apartment was spacious and reasonably clean, but felt quite dated and in need of freshening up.

Service was a mixed bag; while I appreciated the upgrade to a villa with a pool, the reception hours were inconvenient for early check-ins and check-outs.

The apartments are spacious and offer a lovely private garden, but the overall resort feels a bit dated and could use some updates. Despite enjoying the peaceful environment, the limited on-site activities and some construction noise were noticeable. Given the price, it might be worth looking for alternative options next time in QDL.

While the pool area was well-maintained, the overall facilities were somewhat limited, with only a couple of tennis courts and no additional recreational activities.

We had a nicely spacious apartment with a lovely private garden, but the overall resort feels like it needs a refresh. The location is stunning, surrounded by luxury homes, though there was quite a bit of construction noise that impacted our experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the limited pool area and activities left us wanting more during our stay.

The resort offers basic amenities like a pool and tennis courts, but not much else in the way of activities. Construction noise detracted from the potential for a relaxing stay.

The resort is located in a stunning area with luxurious surroundings, but it does have its downsides. While the apartments are spacious and clean, they do feel somewhat dated, and the pool area could use a refresh. The nearby beach is a bit of a trek and can be inconvenient when carrying all your gear. Overall, it offers a peaceful retreat but might not be ideal for those seeking vibrant activities.

The facilities were adequate, with a pool and a couple of tennis courts, yet I expected more activities and recreational options based on the area's beauty.

The resort is beautifully situated in the luxurious Quinta do Lago area, surrounded by stunning mansions and manicured lawns. While the spacious apartments are clean and have charming private gardens, the overall facilities feel a bit outdated, and there’s limited activity on-site. The construction work nearby can also be disruptive at times. The location is excellent for enjoying the nearby peaceful lake, but the beach is a fair distance, making it less convenient, especially in the heat.
