Loved the property, staff were amazing and we’d love to return, but we didn’t realize that there would be so many very young children. Meal times were chaotic and very noisy. For this reason sadly we probably wouldn’t go back.

We loved this hotel. The had written note and gifts were lovely to receive on arrival. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had ample vegan options. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and very helpful. We loved our visit to the beach close by and our walk through the properties wooden boardwalks.

i had stayed at this property last year, they kept the good and friendly service but the quality of certain things diminished - e.g. breakfast items. More importantly, they don't offer beach chairs/ amenities anymore, which is quite an important thing, since this is a beach hotel. All in all it seems the pandemic has force them to cut on certain things, which in my opinion is deterimental to the return of international guests

This hotel was perfect for us a young family. The balance between design hotel and being kid friendly was just right. The little touches in the kids club of the Halloween trail and a crafting activity everyday meant the kids were entertained while we relaxed. Our suite was well designed and housekeeping was excellent, including freshly baked cookies and bedtime stories for the kids. The gardens and landscaped walk to the beach were beautiful. A thoroughly relaxing break- thank you Praia Verde!

Style over substance. Aesthetically pleasing but bad design for a hotel. Noise from stone inlaid corridors & marble bedroom floors, heavy roller doors on the shower, loud clunky cupboard door mechanisms & rammed full of pre-schoolers, whose parents let them run & squeal in corridors, scream in the dining room & shout all day long at the swimming pool, which is in a baking, walled-terrace setting with nowhere for the noise to escape or air to circulate. Single pool toilet & adjoining shower not nice or kept all that clean & usually had a wet floor that you have to paddle through. This is their nominated late checkout option for a shower before the airport, no thanks! Bed comfortable and room furnishings beautiful & spacious, but without ear plugs you’ll be kept awake late and woken early. Front desk service and room turn down etc. all very good, thanks. Food in restaurant served cold first night - countless meals waiting on the pass under warming lights. Policy to serve kids meals first - by a good 20 minutes, without being asked if that’s what we’d like?! Restaurant service generally slow & a bit disorganised. Breakfast better but Cappuccinos awful, eggs forgotten one day & rather typical of the entire experience was the fact that the coffee cups are trendy metal beakers, so they burn your hands if you have any more than a half filled cup at breakfast! We had booked 5 nights (non-refundable) we managed to stay for 3. Life’s too short. Would not recommend or return.

The hotel is stylish, the food is delicious, and it’s about an 8 min easy walk to the beach. Downsides, the waiting staff in the restaurant were inattentive and less than friendly at times, and the pool is basically a large, shallow paddling pool full of children and their inflatable toys. Great destination if you have a young family, not so much if you want peace and quiet!
