What a stunning hotel! Calm. Peaceful. I stayed in one of the apartment suites overlooking the ocean. Staff always go out of the way. I’m a vegan and they specifically looked for and made special dishes for me every day! The beach is sandy but not necessarily amazing. But nice enough. Great service. It won’t disappoint!

Our check in experience was very good - the attention was overall good, although it took a bit of a long time because of a wheelchair we had with us. Dinner reservations were very hard to get on the same day (even during a relatively low season). Buffet was ok. However, 4 stars because we had a very early flight and the personnel that could have helped us with our luggage (we had one of us on a wheelchair) never came and we had to figure out the wheelchair and 4 pieces of luggage. Otherwise very good and they packed lunch boxes for us.

Review Greco
Not bad but disappointing (Now this may have been due to our expectations (and past experiences in) 5* resorts).
The resort itself is quiet nice. The pool, the grass areas at the beach as well as the general style with which everything has been built. But don’t venture outside - left and right of the hotel is rather ugly. And some of the amenities are run down.
The staff really makes an effort - in particular the female colleagues, who were very forthcoming and friendly. The gentlemen were not giving off the same warm vibes.
The beds left a lot of room for improvement. It took three attempts to get a / the bed to a comfortable state. The pillows - and we tried them all - were too hard. Simply not good quality. It falls into the category of „trying“ - not succeeding.
The restaurants on site were good. But way overpriced. Also, it felt like they were artificially constraining capacities. Maybe to herd the people into the buffet, which was mediocre in the evening (unless you like to eat chocolate cake and other deserts as a main course). The breakfast was solid - particularly the lady making the eggs stood out as a gem.
The indoor gym was apparently an afterthought. Small, poorly equipped, run down, and in a dark room next to the indoor pool. The outdoor gym was slightly better. But also not well-maintained and if you went there in the morning, you became the mosquito‘s breakfast. On a related note - the fact that they charge extra for a tennis court is inappropriate when the night costs close to €400.
So, if this had been a 4* hotel and €150 cheaper per night, it would have been great!

Top class venue. Just needs the beach access to town to be fixed so you don’t have to clamber across rough rocks when the tide is in. Very highly recommended. Excellent restaurants, bars and lovely swimming pool. Staff were all top drawer.

We stayed at Amirandes September of this year and the weather was beautiful. The property is alright, rooms are a little older, the view when you walk in is absolutely amazing and is everything you see on the pictures. The surrounding area however didn’t have much, you’re about 20min from city center and on a more run down side of the island (we spent the last half of our trip on the other side of the island and it was much nicer. The property as a whole is very small, there is one pool and the beach was small with very few chairs, we couldn’t get one any of the days we were there. The food for the inclusive breakfast buffet was the exact same every day and nothing to write home about. The dinners were similar at the inclusive restaurant, however they did have two other restaurants where the food was decent. The service at every restaurant was very slow. I will say the people working at the pool were the best ones at the entire resort! Our room felt outdated and had absolutely no privacy and wasn’t very quiet either, we could hear the folks on the other side of the walls conversation. Overall just an okay stay, would not return to this property.
