The whole hotel design surprised me, and all the details of the room are first-class. The design of the tea cabinet, the glass lighting wall in the bathroom, the water cups... all the details are perfect.
This hotel is the best hotel I have stayed in Portugal so far. From service to hardware, everything is perfect.

Beautiful hotel with all the trimmings in an idyllic setting, in the middle of nature. The rooms are spacious and very well maintained. The food is very tasty and the breakfast is top notch. The staff are exceptionally attentive and helpful. A dream place to relax. We will definitely come back!

This part of Portugal is very rural, and I know this is one of only a few hotels in the region. It definitely doesn't feel like a 5 star resort but l also know that service in rural parts of Portugal is difficult due to staffing. That being said, the beds are very uncomfortable (way too hard), the pool is very cold (even in July), the staff is not well trained, and the entire place needs a facelift. HOUSEKEEPING; I assume the hotel is understaffed bc we had to ask for housekeeping. We were out of our rooms 7-8 hours a day between 9-4p yet returned to rooms without housekeeping. Housekeeping arrived within an hour of being asked. There isn’t turndown service. A housekeeper knocks around 6p to ask if more towels are needed. FOOD: The breakfast spread is nice and there are many items available on the a la carte menu. Dining staff is pleasant but untrained as mentioned in other reviews. We had one dinner at the hotel which was delicious but again, untrained wait staff. SPA: We tried to book massages on the first day of our 3 night stay and the spa was supposedly completely booked. I assume that was due to staffing issues and not due to the number of available massage rooms. If you want a massage or any spa treatment during your stay, book before you arrive. Note that the ocean is far (not walking distance) from the hotel. It can be very windy and chilly at night and in the mornings so pack layers.

Das Hotel liegt wunderschön in eingebettet in die portugiesische Landschaft mit Blick auf das Meer. Zum Meer ist es jedoch relativ weit. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön mit großem Garten. Der Spa und Pool wirklich toll. Das Essen ist ok, das Frühstück sehr gut. Komisch fanden wir, dass das Restaurant abends nicht Platz für alles Gäste hat. Das Hotel liegt schon sehr abgeschieden.

Desde o primeiro momento, a experiência no Praia do Canal Nature Retreat foi simplesmente irrepreensível. Fomos recebidos de forma calorosa, com um serviço de bagagem rápido e ágil, seguido por um check-in empático e extremamente profissional, acompanhado de um refrescante oshibori e um delicado chá de cortesia. O quarto surpreendeu pela dimensão generosa, pelas amenities de topo e pelo tratamento VIP à chegada — um verdadeiro mimo que nos fez sentir especiais. Destaco a banheira no terraço, perfeita para contemplar o pôr do sol num ambiente de serenidade e exclusividade. A infinity pool exterior revelou-se o local ideal para refrescar num dia quente, e às 16h fomos surpreendidos com uma bola de Berlim — um toque autêntico e deliciosamente português que nos conquistou. O SPA merece igualmente destaque: completo, sofisticado e com todas as valências necessárias para um verdadeiro momento de bem-estar. Saímos de lá como novos, envoltos numa sensação de relaxamento e leveza. O jantar foi no Bar Medronho, onde optámos por snacks muito bem confecionados e apresentados, num espaço de decoração elegante e ambiente extremamente agradável. Uma nota especial para as três interpretações do cocktail Negroni, um detalhe que não passou despercebido e que muito apreciei. Após uma noite de sono revigorante, o pequeno-almoço superou todas as expectativas: fomos recebidos pelo simpático Nicássio e pelo atencioso Dimitri, que nos apresentaram tanto o buffet como as opções à la carte de pratos quentes. Tudo preparado com cuidado e sabor. Em resumo, foram 24 horas que passaram demasiado rápido, mas que ficarão na memória. Sem dúvida um dos melhores hotéis onde já tive o prazer de me hospedar. Voltarei sempre que possível. Muito obrigado por tudo

The hotel is beautiful and beautifully located, surrounded by nature. The architecture is stunning! The hotel buildings blend seamlessly into the landscape. The entire hotel is beautifully decorated, with great taste. The breakfast is excellent, and the staff is friendly. However, there are some less positive aspects that are unacceptable in a 5-star hotel that charges such high prices—indeed, exaggerated and inappropriate prices. The Wi-Fi works very poorly. There aren't enough towels at the pool. The spa has very strict and complex rules that don't fit with the improvisational nature of a vacation. But worst of all is the music playing so loudly in the hotel courtyard, which can be heard at the pool and disturbs those relaxing there. Although I asked them to lower the volume, they ignored my request. It was as if I hadn't said anything.

The Praia is wonderful, it was our second visit and we look forward to coming again. The rooms are incredibly well equipped and the staff are very polite and attentive. The only drawbacks are the restaurant which is good but not five star, and the approach roads which are a little like a rally. However, it is well worth the effort just for breakfast!

Modern sleek hotel in a nature park with great walking and views of the Atlantic in the far distance. Very private and great place to relax. We did not use spa or gym. A few concerns: Road in is rough in places. Lots of small things needed work - doors not sliding closed properly, hot water not there, random alarms. Biggest disappointment was the so-called gourmet dining room with over-priced skimpy meals. Breakfast were excellent though.
