The hotel is really fantastic. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. Staff is very friendly, helpful, and made our stay feel like we were part of the big family. The whole area of the hotel is beautiful with its terrace and large swimming pool (I guess it's 20-25m by 8-10m), park, golf practice areas, and the restaurant which is owned by the same family (good food there at reasonable prices!). You will most definitely need a car to get there and do things in the area, but its location (only 5-10 minutes drive to the motorway, or 10 minutes drive into the other direction to Olhao) makes it easy to reach anything in the Algarve area in a short time (the most remote spot was Sagres, a little under 90 minutes drive). Places like Olhao, Faro, Tavira, Albufeira, Olho de Agua, Vilamoura, and all the beaches are within easy reach by car. We had a fantastic stay there and would definitely choose Quinta dos Poetas again for a holiday in Portugal!
