The property itself. BRUNCH is unbelievable. Private pool. The bed was so comfortable. Hot water that stays hot. There was a Portuguese restaurant nearby on the corner we drove to: Triangulo. AMAZING SERVICE. Owner served our table.

Adults only was a new experience for us and so good…the resort was peaceful! Pools were a calm space and no early risers. The resort is very unusual in its set up with the rooms set at different angles with different outdoor spaces.2 pools with plenty of very comfortable loungers. The breakfast was the best I’ve seen outside a 5 star hotel…a fabulous spread each morning served in a lovely indoor/outdoor space. Highly recommend

Beautiful, clean, peaceful property. Ultra well kept common areas and villas. Spacious. Beautiful pools. Breakfast spread is a beautiful sight, all kinds of perfect, gourmet delicacies. Way more food and options than the average person would need or expect. It was lavish and a highlight of the day. Pool water is cold but refreshing. Staff is reserved but very helpful with information when asked.

Felt like an oasis! Pool, lounge and breakfast areas were very clean! Staff were very helpful. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. We stayed in room 35 (little bit bigger, more simple, very private) and switched to room 14 (smaller but nicer and nice patio on the pool deck). Breakfast was a different selection every day and a big spread! Location was perfect for us but we love walking. About 15-20 mins to get to old town but only 2 mins to get to beach/boardwalk. Ubers were about $6 a trip to town if you don’t feel like walking.

The room was nicely decorated and had all the essentials, we particularly enjoyed the balcony. The pool area is very calm and makes for a great place to relax, it is also good to have two pools to enjoy. Location is quite convenient as there are some restaurants within walking distance and also a medium size beach (Praia Dona Ana).

Stunning hotel in a stunning location overlooking the beautiful beach.Rooms were lovely especially the ones with a sea view.Great buffet breakfast, and snack bar and pool bar by the pool during the day.Cashless hotel.pool was wonderful, plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas and towel station.Also small heated indoor pool, for children, plus gym and sauna.I used the hair salon and Maria was excellent 👍.We stayed as a family group for a wedding and it was fantastic, staff were excellent,so professional and friendly.just took 5 minutes by taxi to get to the center of the restaurants and bars.

The staff are exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. There is a whole variety of accommodation so choose wisely. I loved my room (268) quiet and sea view, good size. Very clean. There are more modern rooms available. Breakfast offers something for everyone . The pool area is a little tired and they really need to clean the algae from the pool and the glass bannisters of bird poo daily that are all around the pool area and the restaurant terrace. Well positioned as great beach (and lift down to it ) the better beach sunbeds are to the right not the ones in front which are too far from the water. Lovely boardwalk to the harbour bars / restaurants or it's a quick cab. Great little beach bar / restaurant to the left as you come out of the beach exit overlooking a calm small cove which is great for children.

Amazing and varied breakfast. Kind and dedicated staff. Well maintained hotel, keeping architectural features from the 60s. Confy room. Many esplanades, elevator for beach. Very decent indoor pool and spa. Nice swimming pool facing the beach.

The property was excellent- very clean - very relaxing, especially in the bar on floor 1 which played moody jazz quietly in the background - Nice!!😂- only stayed for 1 night in November, but the facilities, indoor pool; spa; gym on floor 1; outdoor pool etc. would have got used otherwise. My sea view balcony room on floor 4 was lovely, comfortable and clean and a great sun trap throughout the day with an uninterrupted view to the sea and beach approx 100m away. But whilst the fabric of resort was great, the staff really make this place 👏👏👏 - very friendly; efficient; can’t do enough for you 10/10. It’s a short 5 min taxi or a nice 30 min walk along the boardwalk alongside the beach to get to the village of Alvor itself which has lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. The buffet breakfast provided plenty of choice and was good without being top notch 8/10 I understand there is plenty of golf courses close by; so I would definitely rebook this place for a golf trip if I return in the spring/summer

Had an Amazing stay in the family apartment with a wonderful pool. It's a massive apartment all rooms kept well and clean only downfall was the kitchen it's needs updating and we had a leak in the kitchen next to the light which made the floor very slippery my little one had a fall we did tell them but nothing was done while we were there which was a shame but that hasn't put us off staying again it was absolutely beautiful just have to be very careful of the floors as they can be very very slippery with little ones and with the pool aswell. Has a great bbq area the rooms are all a great size and the views are lovely.

Very spacious and comfortable Villa with an amazing pool and outdoor sitting & landscaping area. We spent almost the whole stay around the pool! You also get a lot of privacy with the self-standing house and proper fencing. The hotel staff was very friendly as well.

The house and everything around it. Very nice exclusive facilities (swiming pool, barbecue, gardens, ...), and plenty of public spaces available also (swiming pools, bar, restaurant, children park, ...)

Nice general pool with restaurant/bar. Used by the appartements of the park. Also villa's on the park with private pools.

Everything, the villa was like something out of a movie. The space was brilliant and you had your own area that wasn't too close to other villas. The pool was a good size and the outside chairs, sunbeds and bbq area were well kept and a great addition to the place Taxi's were easy to hire and the small towns around Colina are only a 5-10 min taxi ride away. Great location to be out of the way but close enough for evening meals and drinks

The location of Marina Club resort was perfect! Right on the marina with a balcony facing the water and boardwalk where we could sit and watch all the activity. The room was large! With a living room, kitchen area, separate bedroom and a bathroom. Everything was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We didn’t use the pools but saw a lot of people enjoying them. They had a kiddy pool and a nice big swimming pool for adults. It looked very nice. Breakfast was included with our stay and was a great spread of different dishes. We would definitely stay there again!

The pool was great. Proximity to the marina, to supermarket, to the old town. Easy to drive to the beaches. Great little restaurant plus snack bar by the pool, as well as good loungers by the main bar. Receptionists were very helpful and gave advice re restaurants, beaches, farmers' markets, events in town etc. Enjoyed a speedboat trip to the seacaves. Lots of boat trips available. Great atmosphere in the marina area. Loved it. Would happily go back anytime. Great for families, with a shallow pool for the toddlers. Can book sub aqua lessons.

The room was quite large with a dining area and full kitchen. Bedroom was big with a large closet, big programmable safe and comfy beds. Staff were friendly and answered any questions we had. Our balcony overlooked the pool and was a nice view! Pool is cold but very refreshing when it gets so hot in Lagos! Walk into town in about 15 - 20 minutes. Large grocery store (Pingo Doce) super close by. Decent happy hour near the pool too.

This little one-bedroom apartment was perfect for our group of 4 (3 adults and a teen who are all family). The two couches in the living room converted to excellent beds (they were not pull-out sofas that can be uncomfortable) There is a well-appointed grocery store within walking distance to get provisions so we could make a nice breakfast and the little kitchen had all that we needed. Everything was clean and the decor was minimalist and functional. It was winter so we can't comment on the pool (outdoor, not heated) and we didn't want to pay to use the indoor pool. Laundry machines within the resort complex. The resort is located about a 20 min walk from the main town; fine for us but if you need to be right in the middle of everything select a different property. Friendly staff, parking on site included.

Family friendly! First family holiday with my two young children and husband. My mum had visited marina club on three previous occasions and sold going here to us. Apartments spacious, spotless and cleaned daily. Pool and outside areas cleaned daily.We chose 1 bedroom apartment with the marina and pool view and this didn’t disappoint. Good size balcony with a beauitful view lovely drying area included. Staff incredibly friendly throughout our stay. Ideal location.5/10 walk to local supermarket that we visited daily. Short walk into the town. Very central. Plenty of lovely restaurants bars and coffee shops.So lovely to see other young families at the Marina. Lovely atmosphere. Richardo in the bar is an absolute gent fantastic at his job. For our first family holiday we weren’t disappointed. See you next year.

Great overall, even better than I had expected. Room much better than the photos suggested (quality of linen amongst best ever, in any five-star I've stayed in, and bathroom spotless with constant piping hot water for bath). Pool-side room with direct access from room patio door to pool area was great. No need to worry about noise around pool as not so busy and everyone well behaved! Could go in and out of room to pool and other facilities very easily. Hardly used corridor entrance to room during entire stay. Breakfast buffet excellent, best choice of fruit and pastries, even though cooking station very, very slow, for hot egg dishes. Better to use frying pans rather than hot plate? Bar area outdoor terrace was also very nice in evening sun, but quieter rather than lively. Hotel a bit shabby in places, as over comments have said. They could really enhance pool-side area by putting cushions on recliner (but plenty of recliners and no rush every morning, as not that many rooms) and putting in some new parasols, as look very shabby. Stunning location righty by boardwalk that takes you to all interesting viewing and swimming spots. About a 20 min walk to town centre and restaurants. Quick taxi journey. Spa also great with own outdoor pool. All staff super helpful and friendly. Final tip: this is a super relaxed experience, calm and quiet, with amazing views and walks nearby, but if you're looking for somewhere with more of a buzz / atmosphere, it might not be for you!

We had a lovely time here though we were disappointed with our ‘suite’ on the ground floor with the pool view. It was tired with dark worn furniture which took the shine off for us. The maintenance directly outside our room was not very good either. The staff though I have to say are all very nice and very accommodating. The actual pool was not heated but was very refreshing. Poolside food was excellent although we didn’t like the fact that the 10 euro drinks came in little cans that you could buy from the supermarket for 1-2 euros each. The cushions on the loungers by the pool didn’t look that clean sadly. They had stains on them which wasn’t pleasant. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and plenty of staff on hand to help. The bar upstairs was very nice too and the actual restaurant off the bar was always busy, albeit quite expensive. For service I believe this is a five star but for the quality of our room I would say it’s a 3 star, very expensive for what the room cost us.

This hotel was amazing in every way. The views outside the hotel were breathtaking. To the back was the most beautiful cliffs and to the left was the mountains and city. And there were numerous walking trails and boardwalks right outside the grounds. The sea view superior room was huge and beautiful and well equipped. The bed was so comfy with wonderful bedding and pillows - firm but giving. The bathroom was huge with a tub and large shower. Huge balcony with a beautiful view. Breakfast was very good with outside seating available and a coffee bar and champagne. Valet service was quick and the staff was soooo friendly. It’s a quick drive to old town Lagos. The spa was clean and had a sauna and steam room as well as a small outside jacuzzi and large heated pool at no extra charge. The normal pool was large and beautiful and there was even a baby pool. I cannot imagine a more perfect place to stay in Lagos. And even a great value for everything we got.

Cascade is the perfect spot for your stay in Lagos. We had a beautiful room which included breakfast. The breakfast is outstanding with mimosas, coffee and a full buffet with excellent service. We were provided with a welcome drink at the bar which was a nice touch. The resort is a 4 euro uber ride to Old Town which is 10 minutes away. After a beach day, it was always nice to come back and relax by the pool. You could also opt to sit poolside all day. The staff were all so nice and helpful. The only comment I would make is extended pool service hours for food and drink in the warmer weather. Otherwise our stay was fabulous and we can't wait to return. We debated for months over several options and were thrilled with our choice. You won't be disappointed.

Lovely 2 bedroomed apartment, very spacious, very clean with balconies from all the rooms and a rooftop sun terrace! Very well equipped kitchen for self catering....comfortable lounge and beds! Excellent ensuite and bathrooms...... The main hotel offered access to the bars and restaurant and beach pool areas. Drinks in the Lighthouse bar which overlooked the pool. Reception staff were helpful and friendly and help was given to locate the apartment - this is a large complex! The garage parking was excellent with direct access to the apartment door - great with luggage! Outside pool and other activities were available! Good location and access by car to Lagos and surrounding areas.

The villa was beautiful and well maintained. It had everything we needed and more, the private pool at our villa was fantastic, the main pools are great too. The restaurant (Trattoria Oliveira) serves amazing food.

The 3 bed villa we stayed in was absolutely fabulous. There was 6 of us staying and we found It was clean very spacious and had everything we needed for a wonderful holiday. The private pool was large and made our stay.

We stayed in a villa with a private pool. It had everything we needed and felt very comfortable. Town/beach was a 15 minute walk with lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel also has a shop and restaurant on site.

I’ve been to QdP 6 times now, staying in various accommodation types from apartments to 6 bed villas with private pool & I can honestly say that I’ve always enjoyed my stay 100% … from the poolside bars to the on site restaurant the local shop to the reception everyone without fail has tried their best to enhance our stay & their have succeeded… as far as I’m concerned you can’t get a safer bet for money well spent than QdP….. can’t wait to return for the 7th episode in June 25…

It was a 3 bed villa with private pool. it was set in lovely gardens. The house was clean and spacious. It had 2 en-suites, washing machine, well stocked kitchen with hob, oven, coffee maker, microwave and dishwasher. The towels were replaced and beds were made 3 times during a 7 night stay. small Spar shop on site and another larger one about 10 mins walk away. The establishment offered a limited shuttle service to the town at 11am and 4pm. We visited in April. There is a restaurant on site serving good value Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. Very helpful and pleasant staff in the resort. Plus the breakfast offerings in the bar by the shared pool area were tasty and affordable. The resort has tennis courts, mini golf, volleyball and ping pong table to keep the kids happy.

Stayed in a friends townhouse. An amazing 3 bed that comfortably sleeps 8. Private pool & just a €5 taxi outside the town. The complex pool, bar and restaurant is the most amazingly scenic place in alvor.

We stayed in a 4 bed villa with private pool the villa was lovely well stocked with everything you could need , spotless clean couldn’t fault it at all , the area is beautiful really nice place restaurants onsite were lovely miss pasta especially, restaurants have a takeaway menu so you can bring it back to your villa if you want to which is great if you have kids that won’t sit easy eating out , alvor it’s self is beautiful overall brilliant experience all the staff were really nice would definitely recommend

We (4 adults, 3 children) spent nice and relaxing holidays in a 4 bedroom villa with private pool in PRAINHA VILLAGE. The complex is well maintained and very green. To our positive surprise it was very quiet. Who can do without entertainment at the pool, children's disco and other events, is in good hands. The villa is very spacious, modern and equipped with a good kitchen. Unfortunately, the corkscrew was missing for a good Portuguese wine :-) Another small minus was that WiFi costs extra. The beaches nearby (<800m) are definitely worth a visit. One beach with the typical rocks of the Algarve, the other is a long sandy beach next door. Holidays in Prainha Village are highly recommended. We will be back :-)

family of 5. 3 childrens ( 12, 10 and 7) we booked the hotel direct and this was the start of the first class service. The hotel arranged the transfer from Faro for us and we always found the staff very helpful . Especially the restaurant, Monica and her team( more about that later) We stayed in a villa that was massive. 3 floors , 3 terraces, Lower floor consisted of 2 bedrooms ( suitable for 3 kids) and 2 bathrooms. mid level was the entrance , dining and kitchen, and the top was the lounge. The decor is slightly dated , however interior design was not the reason for the holiday and everything was clean and worked. The complex has a well stocked shop, several restaurants and 2 no. pools that we took full advantage of. The atlantico pool is fantastic. We were there for a week and should have stayed longer, We had a walk to Alvor (about 30 mins with plenty of stops for refreshments) , we had a day at splash and slide ( brilliant) and a little visit to Praire da rocha ( as expected) To conclude - we stayed half board and this made the holiday even better. Firstly we didn't have to cook! but secondly and more important Monica and her team looked after us every morning and night - what a team. Always smiling, welcoming and accommodating. Thankyou all.

Very recommended place to stay with the family (with kids). We enjoyed a lot the beach Tres Irmaos and nearby beaches. Very recommended Atlantic Pool and Restaurant in the Pool at the beach (Caniço). Thank you to all the people that works there, they treat us excellend and very professional. We’ll back for sure

I had the middle apartment on the ground floor with direct access to the pool. It was absolutely stunning and the views are breathtaking. The location is fabulous with a beautiful beach a few minutes walk away. 30 minutes walking the coastal boards takes you to Ponta de Piedade … amazing scenery, and carry on further around for another 15/20 minute and you end up in Lagos. After all the walking there was no better way than to relax in the pool!

Luis was super. A late booking so hadn’t done much research on the area but he gave a very comprehensive guide of everything to do in the area and beyond. Beautiful apartment, well set up with stunning sunset views and lovely pool area. Lovely guests as well. Set away from the main old city so a car is good to have - especially walking round in the heat. Pool lovely and refreshing for after day trips and sun bath.

We were met at the door by the host who helped carry the suitcases up the stairs, showed us to the room, showed us where everything could be found. He also gave us several suggestions as to restaurants, and hikes to explore the area. The apartment is great for 2. Nice balcony which overlooks the ocean cliffs and the pool. Lovely pool and walkable distance to the beach. A great stay!

The property and pool is fantastic. My room opened up right to the pool, which was perfect after a warm day. Location is just a short walk to the beach and 2 restaurants. The family that owns the property is very nice and helpful. They offered waters and a variety of snacks which was a pleasant surprise

We had done a lot in our planned fifteen day stay when we were rebooked because we couldn't get home because of Hurrican Ian in Florida. So with an extended three days we headed to the beaches and found Vivenda Solmar. Our two night stay here was just what we needed. We found it relaxing and the view from the balcony was exceptional. The yard and pool were adorable and very inviting. In our short stay, we ate at both the restaurants on the beach that Carmen pointed out when we checked in and they were both great. We failed to make a reservation for Friday night so we couldn't repeat, which we definitely would have. We walked on the beach and really enjoyed our stay here.

I had a lovely 2 night stay at my guest house, Manuela and her staff were more than welcoming, making it feel like you were staying with a family friend. The rooms are clean and the pool area is lovely, making it feel more like a hotel than a hostel. It's a bit of walk from the beach but not too far. Would love to stay again.

Love the kitchen and widely open living room with a dining table, sofa and TV. The garden is pretty with a swimming pool and few chairs. The room is quite big and comfortable. This place is Close to supermarket and a shopping center which is very convenient for travelers.

Friendly staff from Argentina, cool rooms, silence, secure storage for your belongings, swimming pool and grounds, location—in contrast to the previous hostel, this one felt like a five-star hotel to me.

Lovely hostel, good living space and pool area. Great staff especially Sean who was very welcoming and helped create a great atmosphere in the hostel.

Beautiful private tiny villa in a gated area with private parking space. Private pool, lovely breakfast service, cozy interior and most of all: the kindest staff!

Lovely private pool and spacious interior, even had a baby cat and his mum who used to come and hang out with us every morning

LOVED this place. One bed villa (pod) and private pool. Everything you need provided, bed huge and comfy, staff so friendly. Lots of seating areas - sun loungers, sofas, chairs on the pool deck, another seating area by the villa and another with a BBQ. Location is fab- quiet, tucked away from centre, but only a few minutes from Supermarket and 30mins walk to centre of town. Covered parking right outside villa. CATS AND KITTENS!!! Which I loved (please feed them if you go) though if you're not a cat fan might be off putting...Will definitely return here.

We absolutely loved this place. Beautiful location, amazing facilities, pods were new and extremely clean. The private pool was a huge bonus and the breakfast (delivered to your door!) was brilliant. Staff allowed us to check in at 1.30pm and we were also given a late check out (which we offered to pay for but were given for free - great customer service). Highly recommend and will be back

Wonderful stay for all of my family members it will be a place to stay in, for all future visits to Lagos. From arrival we felt the welcoming was a title for great stay. Zoriana was so supportive and attentive, welcoming and helping with a smile. We booked a deluxe apartment, was next to the swimming pool, absolutely wonderful. This place is special for those need to relax, looking for privacy & quite place. Swimming pool was good. Basketball court, football, tennis court...etc. Continental breakfast is delivered each morning, you had to fill the list of your preference the evening before.

Our apartment was beyond comfortable. it had everything we needed. Plenty of space for our family of five, very well stocked kitchen and towels for the pool as well. Always clean and we had the pleasant surprised that they clean and replaced towels midweek. Facilities were always spotless and ready for us to use. Pool, gym, pool bar. It's a perfect location since it's walking distance from the town of Ferragudo where you can find many restaurant options, cute walk to get ice cream and walking distance to the beach. To the beach is the most 5 min (and we had a 4 year old walking :) ). Also, we rented a car and we were 5 minutes from different beaches and close (between 20 to 40 min) to the main Algarve beach attractions like Carvoeiro, Benagil and Marinha. Also, if you wanted a more city like experience, you have Portimao 7 min drive with tons of restaurants, marina with lots of tours leaving from there (I recommend Discover) and the super markets like Lidl are a 5 min drive

The two bedroom apartment was just perfect with modern kitchen, spacious bedrooms and a hot tub on balcony. The swimming pool was a short walk from apartment and the pool bar was nice. A short walk to the beach, two nice restaurants at the beach, Club Nau worth booking in advance. Staff were friendly and the pool chairs over comfy and plenty of them. Decent gym with weights, equipment and treadmills.

The cleanliness of both the apartment bit also poolside ans reception area. Really comfortable sun loungers, really relaxed feel and environment. All the staff so friendly and pleasant from the maids to poolside bar staff. Great food , fairly priced drinks. Good gym facilities . Brilliant location few minutes walk ti the beach or into town for food. Went above and beyond to get our room early really early so we could check straight in!

I loved the comms before arrival. Flight into Faro airport landed at 10pm so needed an after hours access. Comms explained key pad and key safe and location of apartment. Very useful after a long day of travel ending with a 50 minute drive on unfamiliar roads in the dark. Welcome pack meant a nice cup of tea was available. In the morning our breath was taken away by the views from the balcony, the light, the space, the comfort. Our apartment was two self contained flats. Both with double beds and bathrooms. Our kids didn’t want to share so our 12 year old son let his 15 year old sister have the bedroom and he was given a spare bed in the living room. Although he ended up using the much more comfortable sofa for two weeks. Spotless and the staff were so very helpful. Pool was never too crowded with always room to find a sun lounger. Location was within 10 minutes slow walk to restaurants and bars of Ferragudo and 5 minutes walk to Praia Grande with it’s beach and cafe/restaurants. A little slice of heaven for two weeks. Would love to return.

The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed — including a well-equipped kitchen and a large, sunny terrace with a beautiful ocean view. The location is perfect: just a short walk to the beach and the charming village square filled with great restaurants and cafés. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the entire property felt safe, quiet, and very well maintained. The pool area was clean and never too crowded — ideal for a relaxing afternoon. We especially appreciated the free and secure garage parking, as well as the reliable Wi-Fi. Another thoughtful detail was that no deposits were required for keys or garage access — we felt trusted and welcomed from the moment we arrived. We recommend Vila Castelo Parque to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable base for exploring the Algarve.

Quiet rural location with normal countryside noises, all cooking and day to day utensils for our stay. Extensive own private gardens with private pool for sole use. Lagos a few minutes away by car.

The villa was spacious, extremely comfortable and well-maintained, set in a lawned garden with palm trees. private pool and sheltered outdoor bar with brick-built charcoal barbecue. The whole property was discreetly screened to afford privacy for guests, and Eduardo himself was always available on the phone to answer queries and immediately attend to any problems, of which there were few.

Amazing property fantastic garden and pool area . Good location less than 10 min drive to Lagos . Beach towels provided, which was a bonus and saved us on luggage. The villa was spacious and regular cleaned during our stay. Pool and garden area were also very well maintained. We found it very relaxing due to the privacy of the pool area .

I loved the privacy of the villa, both in terms of it being outside Lagos but still very close but also in terms of privacy from the other two villas. The villa itself is lovely, two bedrooms at opposite ends of the building, pool was perfect for what we needed (i.e. we are not Olympic level swimmers) and pool loungers very comfortable. BBQ facilities brilliant and we had a really good barbie, all enjoyed very much and also, cooking utensils, crockery, cooking facilities inside all fabulous and lovely to have such good quality items in a rental property, not what we had expected so very pleased with this aspect of the villa. Eduardo was so easy to communicate with, nothing was too much and same for the cleaning ladies, they worked to our schedule and were lovely to chat with.

Casa Paula surpassed my expectations. I knew it would be really nice based on pictures but it was so much nicer in real life. The outdoor area was really well kept with a clean pool, nice gardens and a really great barbecue area. Plenty of seating by the pool and there was sun and shade to enjoy. The inside of the house was really big and so comfortable. It stayed nice and cool all day. The location was great, only a 5 minute drive from the centre of the town. I will definitely be back to stay.

Upper room—a last-minute upgrade that we fully appreciated. It was so worth it! Beautiful private balcony, plunge pool, view. And then there was breakfast.

Amazing boutique B&B, lovely hosts! Wonderful boutique B&B in a lovely part of the Algarve. The hosts are lovely and made our five day stay very special. Our room (Nr 2) was large and faced the pool. The pool is fantastic, very quiet (no kids in this B&B!) and there is no fight for sun beds. We spent a lot of time under the huge fig tree by the pool. Breakfast was always excellent, with daily surprises and a nice selection of food (also healthy options eg musli, fruits, seeds etc). The B&B is a 20 min walk from Luz centre and a five min drive to Lagos. This area is great if you want yo avoid the crowds and mass tourism.

Casa Luisandra is a true home away from home. Marlene and Connie are incredible hosts, and have thought of every little thing you might need for a relaxing stay. It felt like they were genuinely delighted to welcome us to the b&b. The breakfasts were the best we’ve ever had, with Marlene presenting breakfast “surprises” daily, and different health shots and juices daily to match. The b&b is so peaceful, and walks through the surrounding fields are a treat. Comfy beds, extremely clean rooms, jacuzzi and beautiful pool with fully equipped pool kitchen, beach equipment for use, you can’t ask for more! We hope to stay again one day.

Where does one begin to even say how amazing one's stay at Casa Luisandra Boutique Hotel B&B is :) Your hosts, Marlene & Conny, I remain speechless. They are so wonderful and welcoming to their home. I tip my hat to them because they look after their worldwide guests in an extra special way. I could write a novel on the entire stay but one simply needs to venture to their property to experience top-notch, first-class treatment at every turn. The morning 'surprise' juice shot, fresh smoothie and orange juice was something I so looked forward to. Breakfast every morning... WOW! I was fortunate to stay with Marlene & Conny for a week and cannot wait to return. I am in the tourism industry so this review is genuine. I so enjoyed unwinding by their beautiful pool each afternoon and the views from everywhere throughout their property were breathtaking. Marlene & Conny, thank you so much for making my home away from home so welcoming. Martin :)

The breakfast was exceptional. It would grace any 5star hotel. 3 juices - orange, a smoothie & a tonic; fresh fruit; cold meats; cheese & salmon. Choice of cooked breakfast; Limitless coffee, etc. And a surprise, which ranged from a mini pizza to a cheese & ham tart. This is no ordinary B&B; this is a boutique hotel. One has free access to pool; barbecue; lounge with balcony. Wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks available for purchase. There is free parking. Uber takeaway deliveries. It is close to Lagos & Luz but quiet and airy. The rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. The hosts are wonderful. Marlene, Conny, son Pele & Jazz (cat) all intent upon making your stay wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble and they want you to feel 'at home' - the front of the house and garden is for guests, whilst the family lives at the back of the property. This Boutique Hotel is as close to perfect as one can get.

Beautiful Villa with private pool, very clean, easy distance to coastal caves.

This was a beautiful hotel, in a gorgeous area of the Algarve. The villa style set up made the hotel feel like a little village! Our apartment was spotlessly clean & well equipped for our week long stay. The pool area was perfect, plenty of sunbeds & shade if you wanted it, & the bar & restaurant were open throughout the afternoon so you could have lunch without having to leave the pool. The restaurant was extremely reasonable in terms of cost & the food was delicious! All the staff were very friendly & always willing to help...they even opened the mini market shop for us before opening hours when we had just arrived so that we could buy water! The receptionist was also extremely helpful during our stay...he was more like a tour guide! We frequently used the shuttle bus to the closest beach, Caneiros, & the town of Cavoeiro, which meant we cut down on our traveling costs! Perfect resort for small children, the pool area is safe and they also organise games like water polo. You would probably need a car if you had children & wanted to do lots of sightseeing to the neighbouring towns/villages, & also to get to & from the airport, although our party of three adults managed just fine using the free shuttle buses & taxis which were quite cheap. My only criticism of the whole resort is the very bad female singer, who currently sings each Wednesday....awful!! All in all, a great resort & a great holiday! destination! The photographs here don't do it justice!!

Stayed in a 2 bedroom villa. This is our second visit. Only reservations was that stayed in this complex about 10 years ago and it does need updating as it is getting dated. We only stayed 6 days but the cleaning service was excellent we had clean towels everyday and the villa was cleaned everyday. The entertainment could improve as the lady running it set up the water polo to only then disappear for a couple of hours before coming back to collect the equipment. Check-in was very efficient, reception team had very good English and were very helpful. However the Manager of the Hotel was quite evasive and did not deal with our complaint. We wanted a full English Breakfast as this was advertised till 10:30am but we turned up at 10:10am to be told that no chef and we could only have continental breakfast and it was too late for breakfast. The lady was very rude and we went to see the manager to explain that we would not be eating at the Restaurant because of this and they had lost our custom for the rest of the holidays. Pool area very good never had to reserve sunbeds or rush to get one on a morning. What would benefit this complex is an indoor pool or a second outdoor swimming pool.

room is surprisingly big, has everything a cottage rent has. swimming pool water is clean and pool side is tidy. the resort is well maintained. its location is not very close to the beach, need to have your own transportation. we have a rental car so it is not a problem.

Overall was a nice stay at Colina Da Lapa Villas. There was a few issues with the booking process that could have been handled better, we was travelling with an 11 month old and therefore needed a highchair and cot but was being passed back and forth between booking agent and the villa itself to confirm availability on this, was a bit stressful trying to sort this, and only got final confirmation a few days before our travel date. Villa was a good size, are quite dated now on the inside and the pool had quite a lot of chemicals in meaning our eyes really struggled after trying to have a swim in them and that limited how much we actually used the pool. Complex itself stated had a supermarket on it but thats now closed down and nearest one was a 10 minute walk along a busy road, not ideal start when just trying to get basics. Villa also doesn't have any kitchen basics in, salt, pepper, cooking oils etc so we had to get all this and leave behind what we didn't use. Overall was a nice week away but a few things to note on the villas. Try to avoid a villa next to the busy road as well as youll be listening to traffic all day whilst trying to relax.

Firstly, Carla is immensely welcoming and a very helpful hostess. The villa itself is beautiful, bigger than we anticipated and was absolutely immaculate including the pool which was cleaned several times during our week long stay. Overall an absolute treat - especially the pool and the large upstairs master bedroom with ensuite and private balcony. The area is lovely and quiet with good restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk.

I had a lovely stay here with my family, the Villa is beautiful and very spacious. The pool is the perfect size and there is a great outdoor area for eating, BBQs and relaxing. The kitchen has everything needed for making meals and there are multiple bathrooms/toilets throughout the villa. There are balconies with tables and chairs for eating/sitting outside. The beds and sofas were very comfy and we slept very well here. You can see the sea from the property. The town and restaurant square are a short walk with lots of variety. Thank you for a pleasant experience, I would highly recommend staying here.

The location of the villa was good. The villa itself was exceptional. Beautifully decorated, lovely furniture Superbly clean. Added extra were the games supplied. Outdoor darts, a throw bean bag game, football net. Lovely good sized pool. Carla the host left us a welcoming display of biscuits, nuts, crisps , wine etc. A mid stay clean was performed & it was exceptional. Never seen so many towels in my life. Lots of sunbeds and on arrival all had towels rolled which looked very welcoming. We had the upstairs bedroom en suite. Gorgeous room , fantastic bathroom & showers. Didn't want to leave.

the Villa was stunning ! so beautiful. the lady who greeted my parents was lovely, made them lemon tea, picked straight from her lemon trees. the decor was so creative. hand painted pictures by the owner. located in a great area, with plenty to do. the garden / pool area was something out of a brochure it was simply stunning. I cannot express enough how lovely this villa was. 5 star !

The property is beautiful and in a great location. We walked to town everyday. you can walk back uphill or take an Uber which was very easy. The pool was clean and the kids loved it. Carla met us the first day and was great! Would definitely stay again.

The villa was very spacious and had 3 en suite bathrooms. Everywhere was very clean and well kept. Air con in all bedrooms and the living room. The pool was great - shallow enough for my 3 year old at the shallow end. The location was so nice - a very nice neighbourhood surrounded by other villas. A couple of really great beaches nearby. We loved Pintadinho beach and eating at Molhe

Lovely spacious property with plenty of bathrooms so ideal for a group. The rooms were generous, bed comfortable and air conditioning a bonus. The pool was amazing, overall very clean and well looked after. Staff were super helpful and found us a great taxi driver who became our driver for the weekend!

The spaciousness, gardens, pool, modern well equipped kitchen, eating areas.

A beautiful and spacious house full of Portuguese charm with a nice view. The beds are very large and extremely comfortable, and the kitchen is excellently equipped with everything you might need. We truly enjoyed our stay and felt very well taken care of by the kind and helpful hosts. We liked it so much that we have already decided to return next year.

The villa was big and spacious. The pool was lovely, each room was big and clean and the views was fantastic. The games room was great with a pool table and there was so many extra little things that made our stay fantastic.

We spent the first week of May 2023 our holiday in the Algarve and had chosen the villa Casa Santana in Lagos. It was a fantastic week. Of course because of the beautiful weather but also the excellent accommodation. We were nine people and the Casa is fully equipped for that. Beautiful living room, even a TV room, bedrooms with bathrooms and a kitchen equipped with all possibilities. We used the outdoor barbecue and the outdoor swimming pool which is heated. Use of internet gives an excellent reception via the free WiFi. We could make extensive use of the outdoor terrace for our breakfast, lunch and dinner. The accommodation is great. The location is excellent in Lagos, which is a great base for all kinds of activities and supermarkets are easily accessible. We had a wonderful week. Everything is well arranged and there is excellent contact with the landlord. Casa Santana is an absolute must.

This property is stunning and we had a wonderful family holiday. The pool was amazing and we loved the amount of space we had. The location was also fabulous with wonderful countryside and mountain views and the beautiful town of Lagos was €5-6 in an Uber. The Ubers usually arrived within 5 minutes so there was no need for car hire.

We enjoyed a lot our hree month stay in casa Feliz. The villa is spacious and confortable, the environment is heavenly. Its location is ideal, at few paces from the Gramacho’s Club House and the convenient small supermercado. The host was promptly responding to our questions, or little issues we had. Although the weather was not so much collaborating this winter, we were very confortable in the villa as the heating is really efficient. We took advantages of all the convenient appliances available in the house. The internet works well. The very well-maintained backyard and its crystal-clean swimming pool were of course one more opportunity to appreciate Casa Feliz : its name has been well chosen! Moreover, the golf courses of Gramacho, La pinta, and Silves which we had the chance to play on, are breathtaking and their layouts are interestingly challenging. Looking forward to come back to Algarve, we will undoubtedly choose Casa Feliz at Gramacho for a next stay.

Thank you!!! Villa was very clean and organised with everything we needed. Towel change mid week, no housekeeping/cleaning during our stay, which we liked as cleaning equipment available should you wish to use it. Location was great and weather fab too!

Location was superb, just a 5 min drive (or 10 walk - 15 mins going back as its uphill) from the nearest beach, which has 2 good cafes/restaurants & plenty of parking. also close to a big supermarket (with its own cafe & tobacconist) stocking a wide variety of products. Bedrooms very comfy & spacious, the master has its own balcony & a multi-jet powershower in the ensuite, the other 2 bedrooms share a balcony & bathroon - all overlook the pool which gets the sun from late morning until early evening - fab ! Lounge has 2 comfy sofas & 2 Ikea Poang chairs with a fancy curved TV, as well as a huge dining table - tho' the Sunflower theme is a little overdone !! There is also a downstairs toilet & shower as well as an outside shower by the pool. And a great BBQ space at the side of the villa, with a handy washing line at the back. Plenty of off-road parking for 2 cars ; & shutters on the the patio windows on the property kept it nice & cool inside

Lovely well-equipped and spacious villa with great pool and outdoor kitchen/dining area. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need & the owners had kindly left lots of extra bedding & blankets (which we appreciated on the cooler oct evenings).

Location was perfect for us. Property, space, parking, pool, everything was great. Would recommend.

Beautiful house and fantastic location, a lot amenities to enjoy stay inside and outside.

Amazing location, well equipped and perfect for the family.

They had good local knowledge and informed us of nearby shops , restaurants etc. The villa itself exceeded our expectations, it was really clean and comfortable. the beds were comfy and the pool area was well maintained and clean. Also the sun terraces and gardens around the property gave a bit of rest away from the pool. in summary it was brilliant.

Wonderful, spaceous villa with a beautiful pool, numerous terraces to sit on and amazing gardens. Owners - Dean & Tessa were very friendly, with immediate replies to any queries we had, both during the booking process & while there. Highly recommend & hope to return in the future.

Comfortable, lovely pool, great TV, air conditioning, complete facilities including kitchen, friendly owners, wonderful garden

Previous comments regarding this property mention 'the hill'. It's not too bad - we found it no problem. If you go to Carvoeiro, unless you're right in the centre, you're up a hill. They really aren't that bad and I'm 70+. Every picture I've seen of the pool at Sentosa does not do it justice (except for the ones we have taken). We've stayed in many villas in Carvoeiro and this has been the best pool. When the sun is shining it looks very inviting.

Lovely Villa, well equipped, comfortable & the pool is perfect. Great location. Really easy to get an Uber if you don’t fancy the walk up hill back, but it’s only a 15 minute walk from town.

Big villa and pool great for price good location

The villa was a 10 minute walk into the town. The management company were super friendly. They knocked once to introduce themselves and see if everything was okay. We ran out of gas and had no idea how to change it. They were amazing and changed the gas can for us :) The pictures do not do the pool & villa size justice. It was so much bigger than we expected. We would definitely say here again.

Pool was a really good size situated in a lovely garden which is well looked after. Close to town although you needed to be fit due to the hill!! Safe was broken but was replaced within 24hours. Excellent service!

This winery was so serene to stay at! The pool was luxuries and the villas offer a quiet experience. Only thing lacking would be a dinner option at the winery!

An amazing stay. Very comfortable bed. Pools were clean. People were friendly and the wine is good!

Great staff, service and a really great location in middle of great towns of Algarve. Easy access to motorway and a supermarket close by. For Slide & Splash waterpark this is best location aswell. Will definitely stay here again 100/100!

the place was a beauty. Very clean , very modern and up to date. the only problem is there should be be more signs from inside Estombar. had a little problem getting there. once there it was relaxing

Die Umgebung ist wunderbar, abseits von jeglichem Trubel. Wer die Seele einfach mal baumeln lassen will, ist hier genau richtig.

Nice resort but is showing its age, new pool is great but other areas need work. If the owners invest this could be a great resort for years to come.

The Unit we got is a pretty large apartment like, plenty of room, good side bathroom and kitchen and the living room with balcony was just perfect. The weather in Alvor is just awesome, not too hot, not too humid, not too cold, just perfect. no need for air conditioning. the high speed internet and IPTV worked awesome and I was able to sign into my Netflix account easily. I wish I had more time to explore the region. I would love to come back to Aldeamento do Prainha and explore more.

Everything was perfect but no AC in the apartment. Nevertheless, the quality/price was excellent.

Staff were fantastic! And it was great they had different activities on for guests. Hotel is perfect for families and golfers alike, they have high chairs, kids pools (they have 2 large pools and 2 kids pools), the buffet breakfast is really good! Our room was a standard double and was huge, and really comfortable, fridges in the room was an added bonus.

The stuff was so helpful and friendly, location was a good short drive from the city center and close to all town and village. After all our tour and we come back relaxing at the pool.They have two big pool for us to go too. Excellent for gofter. Very beautiful view from the room and restaurant patio, especially starting your morning beautiful and fresh air. I would stay there again.

Just spent a long weekend at this lovely hotel. The rooms are beautiful and have large balconies or doors that open to a view of the golf course. The room itself is so big and really lively with a gorgeous wet room. We went full board and the breakfast and dinner were both lovely. My husband loved playing both courses and I enjoyed laying by the pool when the weather allowed. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s quite remote so a taxi journey to a shop, not an issue for us, but just something to keep in mind. Would love to stay again.

A good experience, price / quality good, very good breakfast, lots of choices, rooms were big and clean, the two golf courses were good and well maintained, long par three holes though, long clubs needed, pools rather big and fresh, staff friendly, something that is a bit odd is that there are some +/- ten unfinished buildings around the golf courses, heard that the financial crisis some 15 years ago put an end to this big project, its not really disturbing but it catches your eyes.

We stayed for 3 nights in July 2025 and everything was outstanding. The cleanliness was impeccable, the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of choices, and the view over the golf courses was simply beautiful. The pool was spotless and the water was pleasantly warm, perfect for relaxing. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet, which allowed us to truly unwind – even though we’re not golf players. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and high-quality stay. Would definitely return!

The breakfast is very good and is served by friendly staff. The property has a parking spots on site. The location of the property is superb. It's just along a busy street which means you can never have a dull moment. From the property to the beach is just about 5 minutes walk. There are a lot of restaurants along the busy street where you can easily walk in for a quick bite or a delicious local, continental, or Indian meal. There are grocery stores and supermarkets of walking distances incase you want to buy stuff for your self.

Price is good for lonely person. It's close to all services. Its not big building. Balcony and shadow side in warm algarve. It's basicly very nice just to spend some time in hotel, And relax. Personel is very cosy people. It was my second time I visited and taxis are at close as I visit my family doctor in Portimao same time I relax few days in this hotel.

Very clean and awesome room. Staff are exceptional , free parking, this is the place to stay. Free breakfast that is served to you .Well located restaurants, and bars all around you. Beach is a beautiful.Short walk. Our room was an ocean view , with a great balcony overlooking the street , and ocean. Highly recommend staying here.

Amazing location for a great price! The staff was very friendly, and breakfast was great. I will definitely go back every time I’m in Portimão. Just a little note: the building is a bit old, but they make up for it with excellent cleaning. Very well worth the money! Not old, vintage haha

The location is fantastic. Breakfast is good but can be better. The room is clean, and there is enough space. Due to they haven't enough parking space. It's better to first mention whether the room has a parking slot or not so the guest can decide about it.

Stayed in these apartments as a group of six. Things we noticed: Guests provided with separate pool towels every two days. Good entertainment for children with play club in afternoon and during evening with short shows such as magic shoes,bingo. Entertainment staff let people know entertainment options every day. Very friendly. 10 mins walk from the beach. A curtesy bus would have helped especially with children. Pool was lovely. Beds generally available but not with shade. These were taken by early risers. Need more beds/ shade. No life guards but pool attendants who might help you get a bed. Small onsite shop selling crisps, water, chocolate, pool toys and tourist souvenirs. Not bread, milk etc No inflatables in pool which is safer. Aerobics/ zumba in pool each morning. Apartments were large and clean. Hand towels/ tea towels/ bins changed every day. Sheets/ bath towels once a week. Positives Family atmosphere Large apartment Close to Alvor/ Praia de Roche Children’s entertainment Nice pool. Negative Not in walking distance to a shop but a large supermarket nearby by taxi. Need taxi to get to restaurants. We had cockroaches in our apartment. Only moved on third complaint and no support from hotel. Pool restaurant was poor/ dull. Overall, I would recommend for families especially with younger children.

The studio was exceptionally clean, with daily housekeeping. Towels were replenished regularly, and extra pool towels were provided every two days. • The studio came with additional blankets and pillows, air conditioning, a TV, a fridge in the kitchenette, cutlery, glasses, bowls, a small table, a cute lamp, and a sofa. • The balcony was large and perfect for enjoying snacks, equipped with a mop and a drying rack. • Pools were spacious and well-maintained: one for children and a larger one for adults, which older kids also enjoyed. Pool staff provided swim noodles and balls for children, and the pool bar served food, drinks, and snacks, with seating available. • Kids’ facilities included a kids’ club, football field, playground, and mini-golf, though we didn’t use all of them. • The studio’s 2nd-floor location was quiet, ideal for restful nights. • Afternoon room cleaning was convenient when returning from the pool or outdoor activities. • The bathroom was very clean and maintained daily.

We were very happy with our stay here. We had a two-bedroom apartment, there were 5 of us, 3 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room. We had a very spacious room with a huge balcony overlooking the pool. It was very clean and liked the extra shampoo etc that was refilled regularly. Towels changed regularly too but the room was not mopped or swept during cleaning. There was equipment to do it ourselves though. Upon arrival we were asked to pay a deposit of 100, we were not informed of this beforehand so be aware, we got it back with no problem though. The pool area is great, with loads of beds and space in early June, the only disappointment was no kids club or pool bar till June 15th which we had not been informed of either. The staff everywhere were so helpful and any problems or questions were dealt with efficiently and with a smile. The location is great, you can walk to a beach which has a few restaurants at it, a 3.50 taxi to Praia de Rocha or Alvor, and a 10 min walk to the Intermarche. We have stayed in many places in the Algarve and I would definitely return here.

Spacious and clean apartment. Air conditioners in both rooms. Large terrace-balcony. They provide extra towels free of charge for the pool. The pool is clean and quite large. There were enough sunbeds, and we always found a place to relax. The hotel lobby is very beautiful. During dinner, a wonderful band was playing live music. There’s free table tennis and outdoor tennis available.

Hotel was so clean and swimming pool was very nice staff were lovely in the hotel but the pool bar staff were so rude and not nice and restaurant man over charged me two times location is not the best but apart from that it was a lovely hotel would recommend

Bar doesn't handle cash - you feed it into a machine. -4/5 euros for Uber to bars and restaurants - on a hill - major supermarkets and McDs 10/15 min walk downhill -visit Alvor - 10 mins in Uber - 5 euros ***UBER APP WAS SO USEFUL***

A great find, far exceeded the 2 star rating the hotel has. Very comfortable large modern rooms which were cleaned everyday to a high standard. All the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. We arrived end of November so the pool was too cold for us but saw several youngsters in there so wasn't that cold. The area around the pool was equipped with good sunloungers and tables and chairs in well kept gardens, sheltered so a real suntrap. Lounge area comfortable with well priced drinks and snacks. The hotel is about 15 minute walk from the beach front or town centre but the hotel runs a free shuttle bus there and back twice a day which was great. There is also public bus stop 100 metres from the hotel that runs every 30 mins to Portimao or Alvor. Would definitely return.

Myself and six friends stayed at the Mirachoro in July and had the best time. The pool was the perfect size, the location was great, not too far from anything. The rooms were immaculate and the pool bar had a great selection. Thankyou for a great holiday

Stayed here for a week during July as part of a cheap package with Jet2 Our self catering room was basic but adequate, with a clean and comfortable bed, decent bathroom, and good air conditioning Kitchen amenities were very basic but you don’t go on holiday to cook Staff were friendly and the hotel was quite peaceful Pool was small and shallow but fine for a quick dip to cool down, and it was never very busy - it was open 8am to 8pm which was pleasing Bar area was ok too, with reasonably priced drinks. Food was very basic but also cheap You can walk to Aldi, Lidl and McDonald’s in 10 minutes, and to the beach in 20 minutes An Uber to and from the beach was €4 Overall the hotel met our needs as somewhere cheap to sleep and shower as we explored the Algarve If you’re someone who wants to lie by the hotel pool all day, then it might not be for you

This hotel was lovely, basic clean and had everything you could need. I'm sure it was 2 star and honestly I don't know how. We stayed at the Mirachoro 2 and the apartment was massive! It had everything you would need for self catering but we ate out as there was so much choice and the prices are very reasonable. We ate at the hotel sometimes, the food was good although the breakfast while nice I felt wasn't great value for money compared to others we had in pria da roche. The drinks we lovely but I would say get the cocktails in the evening when the gentleman is working the bar as opposed to during the day. The pineapple mojito is beautiful. While small the pool area is nice and we had no issues getting a sun bed. Taxis are reasonable, about 4 Euro in to pria da roche and in to portimao itself. There is a cafe right next to the hotel called the Funky lounge, great food and reasonable prices. We booked a boat trip through reception to explore the caves 30 euro for 2 hours. Would recommend this also. Well worth the money. Would absolutely recommend this hotel for a cheap clean place to stay.

Everything at Orange was very peaceful. The location is great- I preferred it to the old town locations I stayed at previouly- and the patio/garden was lovely. The hostel was at capacity while I stayed and yet all the staff members knew me by name despite only introducing myself once at check in. The staff is clearly interested in their guests. The hostel has more toilets and showers available than other hostels in the area which is really nice. The guests were not very social, meaning people didnt usually meet or hang out in the common areas. Despite being booked full I rarely saw other guests. I am not sure if this was just during my specific stay and it was not an issue for me- just a big change from previous hostels in Lagos were people were constantly hanging out. Everyone I did meet was friendly! Orange3 would especially be the perfect spot for remote workers or if anyone who is socially burnt out, because there is such a quiet and large outdoor space to benefit from and it really is possible to find peace and quiet. Luggage storage and using the showers after check out was also possible and the staff was really friendly about this. Thanks for everything!

I absolutely loved and enjoyed my stay at this hostel that feels like home🍊 The team is very friendly, helpful, competent and the communication with them was very smooth and easy. Thank you Julyanna, Sara, Tiago and Pedro! The rooms were simple, nice, clean and enough spacious (especially the female dorm) and the common areas were just great. The kitchen was very well equipped, there was enough bathrooms, and what I loved the most was the terrace and the beautiful "jungle", the garden with palm and orange trees where guests would hang out. The hostel is perfectly located, very close to the centre and practically anything you need is reachable within a walking distance. And as a bonus you'll hear the church bell ringing from there 🙂 The hostel's atmosphere is quite chilled, calm and has very good vibes. I met really nice people there. Keep up the amazing job, guys🤍

The location of this hostel was perfect—close enough to the center and old town for easy access, yet far enough from the noise of busier hostels to offer a peaceful stay. It’s also within walking distance to the beaches, taking me about 30-40 minutes to visit all the beaches along the coast. Every single one was within that time frame. If you’re looking for something laid-back and relaxed, this is the ideal spot. The rooms were spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Everything was kept clean, with daily cleaning ensuring a spotless environment. There’s a well-equipped kitchen for cooking, and the staff was exceptionally kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this hostel, especially because the hostels closer to the beach don’t have many restaurants nearby, meaning you’d need to walk quite a bit or Uber to find food

We had a double room which had twin beds and an ensuite bathroom. It was good value for money (the next night we paid twice as much in Faro). Everything was very clean. Outside there was a lovely shaded courtyard, and a vending machine selling drinks and snacks. The staff spoke good English. We were able to leave our bags at no charge the next day while we explored. The location is 10 minutes walk from several restaurants and 15 walk to the bus and train station.

Best hostel we've stayed in! Super friendly staff. Amazing common areas: the garden is absolutely gorgeus, the rooftop area is very cozy and spacious and the kitchen is well equiped. Quiet hours are taken very seriously, which was great as our double room faced the garden. We stayed two nights, relaxing in Lagos after having walked the Fishermen's trail and would have definitely stayed longer if our room was available for another night :)

Lovely hotel and room with great staff. Very clean hotel and room. Good amenities but could be improved by an iron in each room and there were some minor maintenance issues in the fridge being difficult to shut properly and the shower head wouldn't stay up high. Improvements could also be made at the bar / restaurant around the pool as they never felt very welcoming which meant we went to our friends' hotel instead to use their pool and pool bar / restaurant. Hotel is in a good location, close to the centre and the beach.

We had such a good stay here in this less built up area of the Algarve. Less is more, more space, more beach, more time to wander the streets, walk the board walk to the end, more ice cream shops, more local fishermen working in restaurants serving today's catch. A perfect family holiday! The hotel has everything you need, indoor pool, sauna, steam room, gym table tennis and pool table. The breakfast is good, the evening 3 steaks for 2 people perfect. Every member of staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and well set out, the kitchen had everything you needed for breakfast and simple suppers. Only a short easy walk to town, space to park, ability to use the facilities of other Pestana hotels in the town (Crazy golf, pitch and putt) made for an easy stay. Days out to Sagres , Silves, Zoo Marine and the famous stacks and arches on Lagos beach all within 35 minutes, 45 to the airport by the motorway made the best of the Algarve accessible to us

The room and facilities were excellent. Indoor pool and thermal suite were a great plus point. A great selection at breakfast time and friendly staff. Everything was exceptionally clean, and the room was refreshed daily. Robes and towels are available at the pool. Cocktails are very tasty. Great views from our room of seafront and gardens. All round excellent hotel.

Loved the room and ability to make tea and the occasional snack. The breakfast option was good value and very nice. We enjoyed the pool table but needed chalk. Swimming pool was great.

We stayed in a superior studio apartment which was spacious and modern with a lovely view. The hotel and grounds are so well kept and clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The pool area is really nice, plenty of sunbeds and areas to relax away from the pool.The location is great, halfway between the town and the beach.We will definitely stay here again.

Love the pool and the 5€ breakfast in place. The pool area is nice and the room was clean.

One of the best stays I’ve been in Europe definitely. The staff is so helpful and nice. I’m really impressed about the cleaning and facilities, specially in the bathrooms, not common in hostels like shower cap, good shower gel and shampoo, cleaned towels, also a complete kitchen with everything you need. The pool are is so cozy that we postponed our boat tour to enjoy for a day, perfect to relax, have breakfast, read a book, sunbath, etc. The restaurant has really good lunch and breakfast, everything made carefully, beautiful dishes. And the decoration of the whole property is also nice. I loved the experience! I highly recommend. 😊

The property was a short distance to the train station, which was perfect for my afternoon flight. The staff were genuinely friendly and helped me change my accommodation at the last minute. The room was spotless, it was quiet at night, and the pool was an amazing feature to have when you just wanted to relax. The brunch place was good too which was easy to access. I also found the restaurants in the area to have some stellar food and a grocery store not far from the Hostel for other things. My stay was absolutely splendid and had friendly travelers as well.

Very comfortable bed and room. Blackout external blind, and sound reducing windows. The room and bathroom were modern, and everything was well maintained. The place was nicely decorated and had a good vibe. We stayed in a private room which was as good as a hotel, if not better, but with the added bonus of being able to use kitchen facilities if needed. The pool and courtyard were great too. We had the €5 breakfast (not open on Mondays though) which was delicious and excellent value for money.

The location depends: if the goal is the pool, it's excellent; If the goal is the beach, it takes about 20 minutes to walk - it's good for those who have a car or bicycle, or for those who don't mind walking a bit. A liked very much the kindness of the staff.

Pool and Pool area clean and comfortable. Reception staff very helpful..large and comfortable appartment.

It was all compact and very close together with my friends in rooms nearby. The pool was lovely and clean with a nice restaurant to buy food and drink.

The property was very traditional which we loved, however the pool was amazing and the staff was super caring. There were all attentive and I will surely return.

Can't fault these apartments travelled with family of 7 had a ball kids loved the pool will be back at easter had a great family holiday ...

This place made me feel like I'm at home. The hostel is located centrally and has its own characteristic. The rooftop terrace is a nice addition to the property. The kitchen and dining is spacious and has everything, I liked the waste sorting opportunity. The bathrooms have a lot of space. For me personally the bed seemed really comfortable, but maybe on the shorter side for some people (I'm 1.74m and my toes were almost over the edge). I was allowed to leave my backpack for an extended time without any additional charges. The staff is extremely kind. I would love to return here some day.

Between train station and Mediterranean Coast this hostel offered more than I could ask for. Original Portuguese home comfort with living room to sit and read books, a shared bathroom with shower and a spacious kitchen for shared cooking. An extra was the roof terrace with a view to a stork nest on a defunct chimney. For evening or night amazing to sit on the sofas or even use the bed under the starry sky. It's a short walk to the main square café, ten minutes to the Marina Promenade and half an hour to the huge beach.

It is such a difference to stay in a hostel run by a family. I really appreciated the warm, friendly space and the care of the family running the place. The place is located so central and near to restaurants, river, and just 30 min walk to the beach, 15 min walk to the train station. The rooms have air conditioning. There is a roof top with both soffas and table. Super clean and tidy. I warmly recommend.

A real gem! The space is bright and airy with lots of nooks and places to hang out. The roof patio and the living room balcony both with their views af the storks are like wildlife viewing platforms. The kitchen is fabulous with all you need to cook incredible meals from fresh ingredients at the market just a few blocks away. Very clean and superb showers. Rooms are well-laid out. Location is great. I loved this place!

Family owned hostel - met mother and daughter. One of the best host I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. It felt as if I was staying at a very close family members home. They've created such an inviting environment. My partner and I stayed with a private room with a private bedroom. No complaints. If you need a hostel in Portimao, this is the spot..

Loved the location! Lagos is a very walkable town and I was able to walk to all the beaches and bars, even the train station! The room was small but I was only 1 person so it was all I needed, the fridge, microwave and tv were a nice bonus! Even with the shared bathroom, I never encountered another person so it was wonderful! Host is very nice and responds very fast to any and all questions! Would 10/10 recommend and can’t wait to come back!

The manager of this accommodation was so lovely and helpful, he greeted us every day if we crossed paths and always had a smile. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Our kitchenette had everything we need to make our own meals and it was a very comfortable environment! Beautiful location in the old town of Lagos it was only a few minutes walk to anything we needed. Would 100% recommend Bora Dormir if you are travelling to Lagos!!

The place it's nice, it was clean, I really likex the small details like, they provided shampoo, soap, towels, water and apples. The breakfast was good as well. The location is really good too. I think it's really good for the price.

It is the perfect stay in Lagos. Location is central, breakfast right in front of the entry, good and comfortable room (i had the view to the street and it was not noisy). I will recommend Bora Dormir to my friends for sure.

Exactly what we needed for three nights in Lagos. In the best location, and the bonus of free breakfast was great. The fan was much needed too! Toilets and showers were always super clean and the staff were lovely. Soundproofing was also excellent.

My partner and I stayed for 4 nights in September, and were sad to leave. The property is just absolutely beautiful. The views from the rooms, restaurant, and pool area are captivating. I loved sitting out every day, hearing all the birds and the ocean. Our room was huge, and well appointed. The spa area with the steam room and sauna is beautiful and private. We got a massage during our stay and it was lovely. The breakfast was good, with a small made to order menu. I was nervous to book here because recent reviews mentioned rude staff. That was not our experience, the staff were so friendly. The front desk made wonderful recommendations that made our trip better, and the restaurant and bar staff were warm and friendly. The only thing I can think to complain about is the pool temperature. It is frigid, only about 21-22 degrees. It would be nice if it was heated on cooler days.

The room was perfect, the staff were helpful and friendly and there are a range of facilities, pool, gym, spa, but as we were there in the middle of December we could not make use of the pool! The breakfast was excellent as was lunch and dinner. The location is good with an easy walk to the Farol at Ponta de Piedade from the hotel and a harder one to Luz. Just a short drive into Lagos. The hotel has impressive and well-maintained gardens. We will be back!!

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in April for our one year anniversary. The hotel is set in a quiet location which is exactly what we wanted, all you can hear is the crashing of the waves below. We had a garden view room (number 10) which had a terrace to the side of the pool and was a lovely sun trap in the afternoon. The room was clean and felt good quality, the bed was comfy and we slept really well. You can join a wonderful wooden walkway from the hotel which walks you all above the ponte de piedade cliffs with many viewpoints and beaches along the way. This eventually leads you to Lagos old town, we would usually take a leisurely stroll there and get a taxi back as it is a good 40/50 minute walk. In the other direction you can visit a sandy beach within 5 minutes, or continue up the cliffs for about 3km until you reach Praia Da Luz. The hotel food was good, breakfast was a buffet with breads, cheeses, smoked salmon and pastries and you could order eggs/ sausage/ bacon from the menu which is also included. We ate here twice for dinner, whilst quite expensive it was good quality, particularly the fresh fish offerings. Whilst there were a few interesting experiences with some staff (they seemed to argue with eachother in another language in front of guests) they were overall welcoming and helpful. We would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting peace and quiet in the algarve.

This is a small, exclusive hotel, and all the rooms are very, very nice. We were in room 12 and we didn't have an excellent view (others we traveled with did), but it didn't matter; the pool and veranda did, and we couldn't have been more comfortable here. Even though we didn't have a view, we had a private patio that was equally nice. The food in the restaurant is excellent, as is the staff, including the front desk. The attention to detail here is special.

This stay exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect for a quiet vacation. Only a ten minute walk to the beach and a 35 minute walk to downtown. The views were exceptional and the pool and grounds were a much needed reprieve after long travel days. But the best part was the staff they were so welcoming and I could not recommend the spa treatments enough. Thanks for the amazing stay 10/10!!!

very fortunate to have found this resort during our research into Portugal's Algarve region-the southern coast.even though it looks like it's quite new,staff told me it's been here over a decade.it's not located right on the beach.that's a bit of a drive.but it's worth it to be in a place so lovely & well kept.our unit was a 2 bedroom condo with one upstairs & one down.clearly designed for 2 couples/families to occupy as was the case with our neighbors.daily maid service.a full,well equipped kitchen for cooking in, 2 baths with the 1 upstairs a bit larger,and a small patio downstairs & balcony upstairs,complete with electronic sunshade.the main couch/loveseat living area is upstairs also with the dining area off the kitchen on the main level.the couch folds out to a bed with a thin mattress.but it is the only bed that is actually a twin bed as both the other bedrooms have a pair of single beds with hard mattresses.and they didn't have a way to connect them so each night a canyon was created if we tried to get close.unfortunate but really the only drawback to the unit. the area of the complex we were in-Bella Colina Village-includes a decent but unremarkable restaurant, golf course,spa and fitness area with indoor pool,and 2 outdoor pools w/kids pools.plus many loungers & umbrellas.these were a nice respite after a day out exploring.we highly recommend the spa massages as these were very enjoyable & done by professionals.staff was universally helpful. highly recccommended.

Good sized 2 bedroom villa withnpool views on a very large golf complex. Communal areas were well kept and the pools were excellent. The layout of the villa was a little odd and the downstairs double bedroom was rather small: partly due to the unnecessarily large bathroom next door. Appliances were Smeg amd the kitxhen and dining facilities were excellent. Upstairs there was the main longe wnd master bedroom. This bedroom was far bigger and it had an ensuite with a shower above the bath. The indoor pool and gym is based at the golf reception, wich was about half a mile away. For a 5* resort, it was disappointing that you either need to upgrade to a different package, or pay to use both the gym and indoor pool. After paying, you only have a 1 hour time slot....again which was rather disappointing. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. A car is essential as the resort is a 10 minute drive to beach / restaurants/ shops.

We stayed for 2 nights in October. We loved staying here. For the price, the place was amazing. We essentially had a whole house to ourselves, so much space. The area was lovely, only traffic appeared to be other residents or groundskeepers. Parking right out front was a huge plus point too. We didn't swim in the pool, but only because we were busy, we had planned to and it looked lovely. We didn't eat at the restaurants either, but had planned to. We would highly recommend staying here and we plan to book another stay in the next few months! Staff were helpful and lovely, there seemed to be constant maintenance of the grounds/street happening, but not annoying or a nuisance in anyway. They clearly take pride in their appearances and it showed, as the place was a lovely place to be.

Very nicely presented, spacious, clean and looked freshly painted. The Spa facilities were fantastic and staff were very helpful when we did not have caps to go in the pool. Only request would be to let clients know when there are classes so that we can plan ahead when to visit the Spa. The golf course looked in good condition although we did not play. The golf short game area has excellent green area to work on your short game however the putting green was not in 5* condition. Overall a very good place. If you have a car wiich I would highly recommend, all big supermarkets are about 10-15 mins away. Nice beaches and restaurants in Praia Da Luz about 10 mins drive.

Lovely 2BR / 2BA, 2-story condo on a lovely, quiet, secure, resort property: spacious, modern, clean, in very good condition, with fully equipped kitchen, and excellent housekeeping service, lovely view, and pool just a few steps away. It is a 10 minute drive to Lagos points of interest, grocery stores, gas, etc., so having a car is a must. Plenty of parking in front of condo For such a nice place, we were surprised that the TVs were small, not Smart TVs, and at the substandard gym at the clubhouse 0.8 miles away, which was small, only had 2 ellipticals, and 3 treadmills.

The hotel was nice especially the lobby & poll area. There was even a swim up bar. The room was a bit dated but spacious. Bed was comfortable and nice balcony. Best part of the hotel is the staff. Great service and very friendly. Thank you for being so nice.

Beautiful area. Easy to get to shopping and stores. Beach is 15 minute walk in two directions. Pool with swim up bar. That served food as well. Bed was good but not great, had bit of a sag. Hotel could use a bit of love in rooms. But nothing that was too bad. Would recommend. Breakfast was amazing. Great staff.

Very good location near lot of restaurants and the beach . Lovely outdoor pool and very clean inside . My room was very clean and comfortable pillows .Thehotel is on hill but very short walk down to the beach and places to eat. Pleasant nice staff ☺️ I didn't want to mention but indoor pool had cockroaches ..crawling on walls of the pool but only because it's natural from the garden I think. Outdoor pool has nice snack bar and cocktail and drinks . My room was nice but the walls are thin and can hear toilet flushing people moving furniture. I would recommend the hotel because it's very nice with good outdoor poor and good location near to everything ☺️👍👍👍 I would recommend

Great location into all Bars/Restaurants Staff were nice Pool Bar good- treat of live DJ/Sax Tuesday afternoon Dont think they shud serve drinks around Pool in glass glasses as 1 or 2 broke around us Nice breakfast and nice furniture upgrade recently

Great grounds. Pool access and clean. Supermarket across the street with great Pao Quente and good coffee. Walk everywhere with a lot of vendors Restaurants Casino nearby. The only thing that I probably did not like is the access to the beautiful beaches there were a lot of stairs. Otherwise, great!

The property was lovely and right near the beach and supermarket which was great. Most staff were very pleasant. Housekeepers were very sweet. Kitchen was equipped with pots pans plates cutlery etc which was great but no soap or sponges to do the dishes so we struggled to clean everything thoroughly. Pool was gorgeous but was only open after 9am until 8pm which was a shame as i like to wake up at 6am and go for a swim and again later at night around 10pm. No lifeguard was ever on duty so not sure why it had to bo limited opening times. Pool was quiet at 9am which was nice but as the day goes on is surrounded by children who don't go in the kids pool and are very splashy not much room to swim and it seems their parents don't tell them to leave some room for people to swim or sunbathe in peace. Thats on the parents tho not necessarily the hotel. Reception staff wouldn't give us an extra towel and due to limited bag space we hadn't brought any. I manage a hotel myself and couldn't understand why we couldn't have and extra towel or two.

Just back from a four day Photo shoots stay at the Jardins da Rocha. Was located on the 21th. floor with a fantastic seaview from our balcony. We had a tree bed studio, which was plenty big enough and huge bathroom, plenty of hot water and clean towels, which were changed daily. I never saw a more equiped kitchen, even had a washing machine ! Even though we dined out every night, everything was there if you wanted to cook at home! which I,m sure a lot of people do. There,s a kiddie's pool and a good size adult pool also, with free sun beds and a nice garden area. The beach is one of the best in the world with one end a vast sandy area with a boardwalk and about a dozen bar/cafes and the other made up of smaller ones with giant rock formations seperating them, although at certain tide times you are able to walk from one to the other. There's plenty of restuarants in Praia da Rocha, good food at a reasionable price. Overall the staff they were so helpful, and all spoke fluent English and would definetly stay there again, it was very good value and location. Oh and by the way the weather was just fantastic wall to wall sunshine!! M A R I M I Collection

Great apartments which are centrally located. Room was spotless and cleaned 5 days a week with towels changed. Reception staff were brilliant with any queries and information. Pool area was excellent with plenty of beds for everyone and plenty of space around the pool area which was spotless.

Overall we had a great stay here. The staff (besides the night porter who wasn't the best welcome for a late arrival) couldn't have been more helpful with various queries and requests. Staying in a sea-view high floor room is like being on a cruise ship with the fantastic views. The studios were a decent size and had everything you could need, they were cleaned regularly and to a high standard. Five mins walk to a lovely beach, and the 'strip', and about 20 mins walk into Portimao to take a break from the strip! Would stay there again if I returned to the area. For the last day after check out there are good showers by the pool and they will give you towels and store your luggage.

A pleasant stay in October 2017. My 3rd floor room was clean and had a balcony with a pleasant view of the town (but not the sea). The rising October sun shone directly into my room at the front of the hotel. The outdoor pool was pleasant with a shower and changing rooms (the water was cold on entering the pool but nice once I got used to it. (Apparently pool is heated from Oct to April but not sure if it was during my stay). Indoor pool is very small (shallow water at one end but soon gets deep). A few cardiovascular gym machines next to indoor pool. The buffet breakfast offered is very good with a big variety of items available including scrambled eggs, small sausages, bread (which can be toasted using the toaster), butter, marmalade, jam, fruit in juice (incl sliced peaches), sliced melon, sliced tomatoes, breakfast cereals and milk, ham, cheese, various cakes, yoghurt, a machine for various coffees or hot water (tea bags/milk supplied) and various fruit juices. Reception staff were pleasant, one guy was very friendly with perfect english.

Hotel good ,staff nice and friendly maids nice and clean daily ,shopping centre about twenty mins walk away ,if you pick up the gravel path to the right of bridge and then turn right at the end you will see the shopping centre ,there is a bank in there as well as other shops ,but if you have mobility problems you have to climb up steps and down the other side when crossing the pink bridge over the main road ,There are restaurants and a take away just down the small hill ,also a small supermarket by the chemist ,The hotel is very clean and the breakfast has a good choice of food and drinks ,The hotel swimming pool is in its own grounds and you are given a key to get into it ,it's kept nice and has toilets in the grounds ,it also has a small sandwich bar at the side of the pool on the outside where you can get toasted sandwiches,drinks etc

Excellent hotel even if rated a two star. Courtesy bus helps with the issue of access to Portimao and Praia de Rocha. Alexander could not do enough for us during our visit. Breakfast was great and room spotlessly clean. Pool area good with lots of sun beds and a pool that was very clean. Can recommend this hotel.

Great breakfast included, friendly staff, big , clean rooms, nice smell in the room, nice pool 100 m away from the hotel, indoor pool and a mini gym, not noisy. Recommended! The towels could be changed more often, same the bedding!

Hotel suited us, if you don't like walking you'd need a car. 15 mins walk to Continente shopping centre, 25 min walk to Aqua Portimao, 20 min walk to Portimao harbour. 45 min walk to Praia da Rocha beach. Hotel provides a minibus 3 times a day, would be useful if this ran in the evening too. Great continental breakfast, good choice of fruit, bread, pastries etc. Outdoor pool usually quiet, a real sun trap. No pool bar but a local cafe round the corner is handy. Rooms spotless and cleaned daily; air con very welcome, Wi-Fi spasmodic. Would I stay again - if you could pick this hotel up and move it, yes, but we didn't like Praia da Rocha so probably not. Parts of Portimao were beautiful, but it was mostly dirty, scruffy and rundown with loads of graffiti and lots of derelict buildings. Needs a clean up and lots of Euro investment.
