Facilities

The moment you arrive you feel you’ve arrived somewhere special. You do not expect it when driving through Sagres. Book a sea view room to fully take advantage of this location. Design doesn’t mean the place isn’t relaxing. The breakfast is good, though dinner was taken in the (excellent) local restaurants. Only drawback maybe is the large size of the complex, but even with 144 rooms it does not feel too overcrowded. If you aren’t blown away by the wind you can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool and take beautiful walks. Exploring the surrounding coastal area is a must.
