Fantastic hotel - the staff are very friendly, informative and do their utmost to ensure you have a comfortable stay. Special thanks go out to Pedro and Cristiano who advised on what to do and go and see in The Algarve during my stay, these experience helped me make the trip a memorable one. The spa treatments were great and also get a special mention.
Matt King
very lovely and peaceful, just what I needed. the team are all very helpful. The gym was more than enough for me and their was a good choice classes and of course the sauna, steam room and the Spa therapies. The food was cooked and served simply in the small restaurant by the pool. all very chilled. No noice, no loud music or loud guests.

I was looking for a short relaxing stay, not too expensive and not too far and got I wanted! Cegonha kept me busy with classes and activities. Room was nice with a fab terrace and views! I met some other ladies there and we became friends!!! How nice to meet others and we are still in touch!! We also took a free shuttle to Marina and had a lunch there one day. Highly recommend Cegonha to everyone, this place is social and vibrant!!
