An avid traveler for years, this hidden gem is one of the top places I have ever stayed compelling me to write a review which I normally don’t do. Special thanks go to the amazing staff: Hilario, Ricardo, Tatiana and Miguel! The cleaning ladies were super amazing as well, they did a thorough job and were very pleasant!
The ocean view room on the 2nd floor was very spacious; had all the amenities and we had breakfast a couple of times in our balcony enjoying the beautiful views and the sun!
Stayed here end of May for a week ( fam of three) and it was very peaceful as place wasn’t full with guests yet. Very kid friendly and close to the beaches of Burgau and Luz, about 10 min car ride.
I enjoyed the sauna as well and had 3 of my other family members staying at another place visiting one afternoon and it wasn’t frowned upon.
Highly recommend it!!

Great spacious rooom and DELICIOUS breakfast!
We loved this hotel. I was sad we only had one night. The included breakfast was one of our favorite meals from our entire week-long trip. It isn't a luxury place, but it was perfect for our needs!

We loved our stay here. Fantastic view. Breakfast was excellent. Lots of selection. Cocktails were awesome. So easy to stroll into town but always so happy to get back to our room. Comfy King size bed. I would definitely stay here again. Luz is a great little place.

It’s a nice place to stay out of Legos. It’s a little bit dated in a landscaping, made some work better than that. It was very comfortable.

Amazing hotel in a beautiful location!
This hotel was a highlight for our trip through Portugal. The room was very spacious for 3 of us and we had a nice terrace that overlooked a beautiful pool. The breakfast and bar service were wonderful. At breakfast, one of the staff members gave us recommendations for 2 beautiful beaches to visit - Salema and Arifana (need a car to reach both but both are stunning!). This area is quiet and had a calm/relaxing vibe. The restaurants in town are very nice! We definitely plan to return and highly recommend to anyone!

Beautiful property with big rooms with amazing views. Only request would be to have the upper pool “adult only” for a portion of the stay as there were a lot of children.

Great place for an extended vacation in the Lagos Area.
The hotel was 15 min walk from Pais da Luz right along the ocean .
The hotel was quiet. The pool area is inviting.
The staff was unassuming but professional and accommodating.
I would recommend it highly .
