Great hotel, especially if you are keen on fitness and wellbeing (as the name suggests). Breakfast buffet had an extensive range of produce and offered 3 different hot dishes each morning. Labels on items would have been useful as there was a great deal of variety; particularly with milk products as it was unclear which containers had whole, semi-kimmed or alternative e.g. oat milk. Rooms were serviced each day and a bottle of mineral water replenished. There was no option to keep your towel once used; bed linen was also regularly changed. I prefer hotels to be more eco-friendly. Having information in the room regarding to spa treatment and wellness classes and any associated costs would help decision-making. Booking classes and spa was fine, do it at least the day before. One of the two cafe/restaurants was closed. The cafe doubled as a bar with limited offerings. Wines were the worst we had the entire stay in The Algarve and we missed being able to have a nightcap in a cosy bar.
Hotel was quiet, but unfortunately the room we were allocated had the cafe on the floor above; noisy with scraping chairs and movement from around 7 a.m. The hotel moved us to a quiet room on request with no fuss.
10 to 15 minutes walk into Alvor village with a slight uphill incline on the return journey. Good lighting and footpaths, so very safe.
