Very good in Alentejo.
We were very well settled. Received and supported by Mr. Nelson, with all his friendliness and desire to serve. Excellent breakfast, variety and quality. Completely correct quality/price ratio. Place to highlight.

It would easily score 4-stars if it some renovation is done
While making a roadtrip from Porto to Faro we booked a short stay. There is a large parking and the site provides in multiple lodges. At our arrival the reception was closed but we could easily check in by calling the owner. We were welcomed friendly. We booked a family lodge for 4 persons and had a private whirlpool to our disposal, which is nice. In general we enjoyed our stay here, but we can't neglect that everywhere we look the accommodations need serious maintenance: the liner of the swimming pool is end-of-life, some of the beds near the swimming pool are ready for refurbishing, the outside of the tent where breakfast is served needs maintenance, some programs of our whirlpool at the lodge weren't working, the shower in one of our rooms did not provide warm water (not a big problem for us as it is summer and we needed a cool shower anyhow).
Although we enjoyed our time here and are not complaining, we can not rate this above 3-stars: how the resort is shown and described is simply not reflecting reality at this very moment.

Not to repeat
My experience on Mount Fat Head was deeply disappointing.
The room featured air conditioning with the filters completely covered with dust, in a state that demonstrated a clear lack of maintenance. The situation was so serious that it was I myself who had to clean the filters to be able to use the equipment. It is unacceptable for a guest to have to maintain equipment that should be impeccable upon arrival.
Another very negative point was the cleanliness of the room. It is announced that this is done every three days. I went in on Sunday and left on Friday, but only on Thursday someone came to ask if they wanted the room to be clean. At that point he would abandon the accommodation the next day, so that service completely lost meaning. During virtually the entire stay, the room was never cleaned, despite what is promised.
I would, however, like to leave a word of gratitude to the staff. They were always polite, friendly, helpful and showed professionalism. I have absolutely nothing to point to them.
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the owner. Received all the reviews, received the payment for the stay and did not have the slightest consideration by the client. There was no apology, no explanation, no attempt to solve the problems or even a gesture of attention. This attitude revealed a complete lack of respect for those who pay to enjoy a quality service.
In hospitality, problems can happen. What distinguishes a good accommodation is the way the manager takes them and tries to resolve them. Here I felt exactly the opposite: total indifference. The feeling with which I left was that after receiving the money, customer satisfaction ceased to have any importance.
Unfortunately, it was a much lower experience than expected and an accommodation that I will not choose again nor recommend.

Nice service but reception non-existent.
The rooms are nice and comfortable. The pool is maintained and at a pleasant temperature (which is rarely the case in low season). Breakfast in the tent is very complete and served with great kindness.
The performance deserves a 5, but... Already, no response to my request on the booking site. No one either when we arrive and while looking a little, I came across a number to call who explained how to find my room. Sure, we're in low season, but it would be nice to know first.
Another concern, I had imagined that the thermostat of the radiator was working. After an hour, I added a blanket that was in the closet. And it was only in the morning that I saw that there was a temperature control in the hallway.
I imagine the reception conditions are not the same in high season.
Another point, it seemed to me that there were bicycles available, but that is not the case.

Booking through the app also does not work
I paid the reservation on July 24, for July 29/07.
On July 28th I received a message that the cancellation fee is free.
On the 29th, at 12h08 we received an email with notice of cancellation.
I called the hotel, Mr. None who attended us was extremely poorly polite. I barely explained about the cancellation, and was already saying that the fault was the app.
It was 20 min away from the hotel. When I arrived, I only asked for the complaint book, he said he would hand us the book, but that he would go against court proceedings against us.
Because it was an app mistake, and you warned 10 days ago that they were full.
And that private message sent through the app was not sent by him, but by the app.
