We only had 1 night here and wished we had 2 or 3. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at and I’ve stayed at a lot. Service was impeccable including takeaway break as flight early. Earl Grey tea served on the roof area. Fabulous cocktails shaken not stirred. A Range Rover transporting us to the simply beautiful beach club. We are coming back! 10/10

No longer ‘ a grand ‘ hotel . We stayed as a family group for a weekend in October. From check-in I was concerned, as we arrived the manageress walked out to walk her dog . The single receptionist apologised she was alone in the hotel and could not show us to our room or take our bags … Later in our 3 day stay we realised many of the advertised items in the bedrooms ‘ guide ‘ or website were available as they have very limited staff . No afternoon tea & pastries , no room service during the day , no food or drinks before 6pm… breakfast & dinner service were horrendously slow even though the hotel had only 7 rooms during our weekend . When I emailed my concerns after the stay , I was told we got a bedroom upgrade and that’s that … no attempt to recognise each one of the perhaps 6 or 8 issues we had during the stay , just a brief reply . On looking up the hotel details it seems many of the long term F&B team have moved on & services & staff are greatly reduced. It’s a shame as when I stayed 3 years ago it was a top class hotel .

This was our second time staying at Grand House (our first in 2021). Most things were similar - high standard of service, prices relative to local prices, great comfortable rooms - however we did miss a few details. The main glaring one is the decay of the bar/cocktail service. In 2020 we had loads of amazing cocktails made by Vasco who was a dedicated bartender with a fully stocked bar. This year we couldnt help but notice how bare the bar shelves were (just the bare minimum, only one option for a London Dry Gin, no Mezcal, for example) and were disappointed that we had to rely on the usual wait-staff for cocktails. That being said, we did have some lovely drinks, the Mai Tais in the Beach Club and a few classics in the Salon bar. They also seem to have discontinued the tasting menu dinners, so you can now have a standard a lá carte dinner. The prices of food are generally a lot higher than anywhere else in VRDSA but that was expected, and the food is generally of a high standard. A small detail we appreciated was the little thoughtful gifts that housekeeping would bring us in the early evening.

Standard rooms are VERY small and lack basic amenities (like a robe fridge etc). There is no pool in the hotel it’s part of the beach club 30 mins away which is closed mondays. I happened to be there Sunday Monday and the Sunday it was “suddenly closed” after I had to ask. The pictures are misleading I was disappointed and would not recommend especially for the price

What an incredible evening, Tiago back in the restaurant as head chef… WOW the culinary delights were amazing. If this man does not get his Michelin star then there is something very wrong with their system. Food was simply amazing, already booked to go back for our wedding anniversary. If you like fantastic food then this is a “must visit” place.
