WEATHER - The weather was great. We went 24th October for a week at half term. It was lovely every day, although we were told it rained for one day before we arrived. It was in the high 20s every day. You will love the splash pool, (blue slide lethal for adults, be careful) your children even more so, although... more

We had a really nice stay at the 'Alto da Colina' Hotel at the beginning of September 2009, in the All Inclusive Building, for 4 nights. This was a late booking so we were surprised to still find two available rooms. The rooms were very spacious, modern and clean and included a beautiful well equipped kitchen. The views were also... more

Just got back from a week ending the season at this place. We have returned with diarrhoea (most likely from the grease served at the restaurant on a daily basis). The pool lining is so ripped up my son hurt his foot on it by catching it and twisting it. The only place to chill and sit down to enjoy... more

Stayed with grandchildren and their parents, but we were in complex 2,a huge trek up a hill at least twice a day for your meals. Not so good if the joints are not in peak condition.

My boyfriend and I booked our stay at the Hotel five days before our departure. We chose Portugal primarily due to the hot temperatures throughout September and the short plane journey from London Gatwick. Neither of us had visited Portugal before I have to say I think it is a beautiful country and I cannot fault our two week stay... more
