Hotel was ok, some staff were better than others. The location is not great but ok, 10 minute walk to Cabana’s where there were some bars and restaurants. The hotel is very clean, rooms were quite small but spotless. The large pool was nice for an early morning swim, didn’t use the spa though. The food was mostly buffet, not a great deal of choice each night though.

Hotel was okay. You could not swim in the pool. Also, if you were playing golf early before breakfast they packed you a sandwich which was two huge slabs of bread with cheese or ham in the middle with no butter, just the dry bread

We arrived at 11.45am having been travelling since 3.30am, booked all 12 in and were told our all inclusive doesn't start until 12.30pm so if we wanted a drink we would have to pay. Stayed here last year and this didn't happen, all inclusive started straight away. Bit bad considering we were booking out at 7.45am on our last day.
Food was excellent.
Could do with extra bar staff in the evening downstairs as it gets busy.
Apart from that all good.

Really bad smell in the lift but only the lift.

Excellent all inclusive hotel with lovely pool and great facilities. All inclusive buffet means it’s going to be busy in the restaurant so go in earlier to miss the rush. Amazing views from the rooftop bar and pool area.

Great little hotel. Food was great and the rooms were very comfortable.
90% of the staff were great, but the bar staff were not the best. Drinks were not consistent, and trying to get served as a female was a challenge!
We were all inclusive & the hotel arranged packed lunches for when we went out.
The 4 golf courses we played were great, Castro Marim & Quinto do Vale were the best.

Our stay at AP Cabanas Beach and Nature was outstanding — the hotel was modern, comfortable, and exceeded all of our expectations. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day on the course. The private transfers arranged throughout the trip were just as impressive: efficient, flexible with timing, and incredibly welcoming. Each drivers made us feel at home, adding a personal and relaxed touch to the whole experience.

B&B board. Restaurants in Hotel closed until April. Weather meant walk about 1km to nearest place. Spa always booked up.
Views from Rooftop fantastic but weather was terrible.
6 / 10
The rooms were comfortable but not very spacious and the glass bathroom wall is not ideal. The restaurant and food was very disappointing. There was very little choice and sadly everything, including the soup was lukewarm. A lot of the food had been on the buffet for sometime and was congealed. You could also guess what would be on offer the next day by what was left the previous evening. The restaurant experience impacted the overall rating of the hotel.

Lovely hotel but mealtime choices limited and mainly fish based. You can go hungry if you are not a "fish person".
6 / 10
In general the hotel was OK. However, I have the following comments:
1. Rooms could have been slightly larger
2. The food i the buffet restaurant was good, but ot very well organised.
3. We did not visit the set-menu restaurant, as the menu was too limited - only one starter, one main course, and one desert.
4. The room-top bar was very good, although it was strange that food and some drinks were not included i the All-inclusive deal.
5. The finishing in the hotel could be improved - loose paving stones in the pool area, level differences between different areas of flooring.
We have travelled to Turkey a number of times, and found the the all-inclusive hotels there were excellent, so still room for improvement at AP Cabanas.

The hotel was nice but the room layout was awful with no privacy as there was no bathroom just glass backed shower and toilet. Not recommended if you want space

Lovely hotel and facilities, always clean and tidy. Food selection for breakfast really good (usual cold and hot stuff) but dinner was a bit samey each night! Also not sure on the special menu for one night only….maybe scrap that…🤷🏼♂️

Went "All inclusive", as seems to be the trend now quite a lot not included though.
The travel arrangements with YGT were brilliant. Going out we had a medical emergency and got diverted to Nantes, so we arrived three hours late. Buses were ready as requested. Every transfer throughout the stay was on time.

Lovely hotel, very clean. Buffet breakfast had everything you might want and was decent. Bar was open till midnight. Fairly limited food options around the hotel however unless willing to sit in a cab for 25minutes, which was a little annoying especially as one of the 3 restaurants in the hotel wasn't open. Overall very happy though.
