Hotéis em Praia do Carvoeiro

Prós: Location and view are amazing. Nice modern rooms. Great restaurant

Contras: The bathroom had a weird smell. Perhaps the pipes.

Prós: view was great location to town good refrigerator in room although the temperature was too high view from bar was extraordinary

Contras: slow check in didn,t get set aside group room rate OK room view no lock in safe kleenex empty several days slow!! service in restaurant low quality food horrible bed and worse pillows front of bath tub was fiber board charged for ice very poor lighting in room air conditioning never got to set temperature even after being on 24 hours

Prós: Everything was delightful. Scenery magnificent. Nice walking trail, beautiful pool. Facility offered extras if wanted like ping pong table, video games.

Prós: Everything from the smell of the hotel! To the fantastic breakfast! Location! & look of the Hotel.

Contras: Nothing! This place is perfect!

Prós: Literally everything. Being there in the middle of Corona outbreak madness, the staff deserves the biggest mention of all. Amazing people who managed, despite all limitations and concerns to provide their guests with at least a little slice of normality and humanity. Hats off, highly recommended and everybody should tip these guys handsomely, they truly deserve it.

Prós: This is a fantastic hotel, as are the staff, particularly Carlos, who kindly helped us with our onward visit to Lisbon, thank you.

Prós: The views and location.

Contras: A/C didn't work. Service was beyond slow. Pool closed at 7 pm. Bars and restaurants opened at odd hours

Prós: Everything was on pointe... I enjoyed my stay there.. definitely will choose this hotel again... thanks for the great experience.

Contras: The location, view was excellent, was a clean hotel, very helpful stuff. Thanks to Helena for booking my ticket...

Prós: Proximity to Carvoiero. Relaxed atmospher.

Contras: Nothing to dislike.

Prós: The weather,beaches, local restaurants.

Contras: Rooms slightly outdated, entertainment likewise.

Prós: Location is outstanding, particularly as we had a sea view. Very relaxing atmosphere aimed at the maturer holiday maker or those seeking a bit of peace and quiet or with families who are well behaved...

Prós: This is a very nice place, excellent location for beaches, shops, restaurants etc. The staff are super friendly and always anxious to please.

Prós: the hotel was busy but it was still a nice quite place to relax and take it easy, and the view from the bar is fantastic.

Contras: the hotel rooms could do with a bit of a makeover and for what you pay to stay there i don't think you should have to pay for the safe in your room.

Prós: friendleness of staff efficency of service

Contras:

Prós: comfort and friendliness

Contras: no

Prós: Sea views; swimming pool; reception and resteraunt staff

Contras: No, could not fault it

Prós: The location is excellent, so easy to walk to all the restaurants and bars. The food and drink in the hotel were very resaonably priced. There was loads of space round the pool and even though the hotel was very full I had no trouble getting a sun lounger. Definitely going back for another weekend!

Contras: The bathroom was in need of a refit but this did not affect my stay.

Prós: Beautiful view

Contras: Bathrooms needs some renovation.

Prós: I liked the look the of the resort and majority of the staff, especially at the restaurant and bar were super friendly The size of the bed! Was great.

Contras: Had to wait 1 hour to get in the room. Fair enough i arrived at 1130 but considering the hotel was far from full this was something they could have easily done. The room was just ok, the look and the amenities dont represent a 5 star luxury hotel. The size of the bed was the best thing, everything else was 3 to 4 star at best Bfast was just okay - not available to order fresh eggs done which should be basic for a 5 star hotel. Have a buffet and a few options a la cart. Pancakes were awful and cold. Lack of sweets was reduced.Variety and quality in general was below standard for a 5 star.

Prós: The room was really great, spacious, clean and with all equipment! The hotel is nicely integrated in the environment.

Contras: It's a pity that when you book the highest room (house with 2 bedrooms) your garden is in front of the service access and you hear some noise from the maintenance and washing.

Prós: Very big comfy bed most important good room layout

Contras: Breakfast could have been a bit better we was told it was not normal standard because of the hotel not being that busy

Prós: Everything

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Relaxed atmosphere of the resort.

Contras: That you needed to wear a head cover to use the pools. Very old fashioned practice.

Prós: Excellent choice of hot and cold breakfast, staff very helpful ..you only had to ask and they would oblige to your needs. We normally use the indoor swimming pool at this hotel but unfortunately we could not swim due the Covid-19. We did use the Gym twice but had to abandon the idea foe the same reason. Rooms are very clean and the facilities within were very good...TV was very good and we could watch all the latest news and other programmes on BBC , ITV and other channels. The view of the landscaped gardens and lawns from our rooms were really "refreshing " and the walk around the resort was exceptional !

Contras: Can`t think of anything !

Prós: Quite a peaceful place to stay - it was very quiet there when we arrived but got busier as the week went on. Lovely clean rooms and the whole hotel had a luxury feel to it, and it felt high quality. Lovely peaceful location in the countryside but easy to get to local towns and beaches.

Contras: The hotel felt a bit soulless at times, partly because it was so quiet. It felt like there should be more going on or more things organised but there was little information about what the hotel offered (no general guide in your room, for example).The service was laid back, which was good, and most people were friendly and helpful but it lacked 5 Star attentiveness that we've experienced in other resorts of this calibre. It's like 5 Star but you're left to your own devices, so if that's what you're after it's great.

Prós: The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. Our apartment was beautiful and very spacious. The pool and gym facilities were excellent as was the spa. Would definitely return there.

Contras: There should be a shuttle bus available to bring people into Carvoeiro. The cost of taxis certainly added up after a week. While the apartment was cleaned daily nobody wiped the surfaces and we had to ask several times for dishwasher tablets.

Contras: Very little staff, certainly not enough to satisfy the amount of guests, not 5 star service quality

Prós: Calm and nice place for relaxing. Wonderful staff.

Contras: The restaurant and the snack-bar were very poor. Dry meat and bad cooking. It´s a shame that this very nice hotel can´t serve good food. They did know how to charge you for the food, but cook it... No!

Prós: Beautifully appointmented and definitely a 5 star feel, food was fantastic, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the place had a very relaxing feel, and the kids loved it. It was perfect for us location wise also.

Contras: No wireless internet, it wasn't working, and I had to use the hotels computer behind the reception desk. Which was great of the staff, who were very helpful, but I do feel provsion should be made for a computer for guests to use in a private area, or even better the wireless should be repaired.

Prós: The location; values for money; spa & health club facilities

Contras: Only missing the Turkish bath for the spa facilities.

Prós: In a peaceful location and set in beautiful grounds, this is the perfect place for a restful holiday. As it was early in year we did not use the pool but it looked very inviting. All the staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly and the housekeeping was especially amazing.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: Very clean, nice pool, very comfortable beds.

Prós: It's quiet. Almost deserted in winter.

Contras: It's a long way from anything in the winter. I had a car, but without one or a really good set of legs, it would be limiting.

Prós: Staff was super kind and helpful. Rooms were clean and neat.

Contras: As a leisure/rest trip we were unlucky on the loud party group staying on the top floor and the the walls echoed a lot.

Prós: The villa was clean, spacious, light and airy. Majority of staff were excellent and happy to help out when asked - a couple of the bar staff had a bit of an attitude which let the rest of the staff on site down. Gardens and surrounding areas were well looked after. A suggestion to help improve on comfort/relaxation would be better quality patio furniture and furniture on the balconies.

Prós: It was very relaxing and quiet (particularily at night time), villas were very clean and spacious, with good distance between each, adding a sense of privacy.

Contras: We noticed that some guests allowed their children to use the kiddies pool without any clothes on, this happened on more than one occasion. At one point, one of these children started pee'ing in the kiddies pool, I thought the bar staff should have asked the parents to put swimming shorts/diapers on the children, but this never happened.

Prós: Everything was very good except for the cleaning of the room.

Contras: The toilet was cleaned with dirty water. The horrible smell was throughout the entire floor.

Prós: The hotel and apartments themselves were clean

Contras: I couyld write an easy here- the hotel first and foremost is not 4 star- the accomodation and apartments were bog basic and for the money we paid for it I odnt think it was justified at all. We were there for a wedding and most of the wedding party were staying accorss the orad in "presa De Morra" apartments & villas- which turned out to actually be cheaper than our accomodation and un comparible in terms of comfort- presa De Mora is 10 times more luxurious then Colin Da Lapa and a much nicer resort in general. When I went to management to complain that I was mislead by the internet infomration/pictures etc for Colina Da Lapa and its star rating, mamagement were not helpfull at all. Minimarket is never open either- another false service lis

Prós: The apartment we had was spacious, well equiped and clean, the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The complex itself is set in lovely grounds with plenty of space between each residence.

Contras: The mini-market, bar and restuarant were all closed, although it's low season I think this situation needs addressing.

Prós: Lovely, quiet location, very peaceful, helpful staff.

Contras: Some of the facilities closed unexpectedly, probably due to the fact there were so few guests. The restaurant was closed unexpectedly, and sometimes didn't open in the evenings, and the same was true for the shop.

Prós: Calm, awy from city busttle

Contras:

Prós: ease around the site.

Contras:

Prós: The villa was great with a nice patio facing the pool. Great beaches near the hotel

Contras: Food was not great, but i guess it's due to the strange times we live in (Pandemic)

Contras: without TV signal

Prós: Quiteness, gardens,premises very well kept

Contras: Shower curtain not functional.. Tv channels with no Portuguese channels....shocking

Prós: The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful.

Contras: Whilst the breakfast was good as there was lots of fruit it would be even better if there was a greater selection. Also be good to have things like smoked salmon available as well as meats.

Prós: Hotel was lovely...staff are great also..very clean an lovely views.. the new bar man was great, very attentive and incite ful... thank you Erickson.. breakfast was lovely an great choice. Was mini bar in room..an balcony.. great place an stuff.

Contras: only down fall was it wasn't in walking distance to anywhere.. luckily we had a car hire.. but would still visit again as do offer a shuttle service to the local town.

Prós: Breakfast was first class and all the staff was very helpful. The bed was the best hotel bed I have ever slept in.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: It was quite upmarket yet laid back with friendly, efficient service, a lovely pool area and gardens and a bistro style restaurant that offered a 20 euro 3 course meal as well as a la carte and everything served was delicious.

Contras: The townhouse bathroom fitments were elderly and some tiles cracked but overall the accommodation was incredible value, spacious and with a large modern kitchen and with nice touches such as the hammock on the terrace.

Prós: The resort just gets better. The guests are mostly European, probably less than 10% British and the resort is tranquil and very low-key. You don't come here for the nightlife or entertainment but to relax and enjoy Portugal. If you're staying for more than a few days, you'll need a car or you might get restless. The staff are very helpful and courteous and the housekeeping is faultless. We wouldn't hesitate to go back again.

Prós: the quietness

Prós: We were upgraded to a duplex townhouse from a double room as I believe the hotel was overbooked. The duplex townhouse was beautiful with three full bathrooms, a large living a dn agood sized kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped with a dishwasher, cooker, microwave etx. There was a balcony plus a terrace with a beautiful view over the pool and gardens.

Contras: It is a long way from the nearest village, with the nearest shop three kilometres away therefore we felt it would be necessary to have a car if staying at this location (which we didn't have!!)

Prós: Nice hotel in a beautiful surrounding. Qiet room with comfortable bed. Easy to find (but don't go according to the recommendations when booking at booking.com which will give you the shortest but not the easiest and most comfortable way).

Contras: Hard to find anything ... maybe it should be noted that it may be unpleasant to reach the breakfast room which is in little distance to the hotel and can only be reached by walking outside: This was inconvenient during rainy and windy conditions including slippery stairs.

Prós: The staff are helpful, friendly and want you to enjoy your stay. We've been a few times and it's nice to see so many familiar faces - a sign of a happy team. Its very peaceful and relaxing and the resort has a distinctly European feel. We like the fact there are lots of different nationalities and types of guests (families with young children & couples) and hope that it stays that way.

Contras: No.

Prós: Beautiful lounge and bar area. Externally the pool area and gardens were of a high standard. Suite was very clean and had everything we needed.

Contras: The breakfast was very poor for a 4* Hotel, struggled to find something nice to eat and when we had lunch this was also very disappointing.Therefore we decided against having an evening meal at the Hotel.

Prós: The 'Town House' that we stayed in was spacious, clean and modern. Hotel pools were well maintained and pool staff always helpful.Use of towels for poolside very good. Poolside bar/terrace accomodated breakfast, this was excellent in terms of choice and quality.Very relaxed upmarket atmosphere.

Contras: On occation the reception staff were not as helpful as we would expect.

Prós: facilities, and being taken care of. closeness to beach

Contras: lack of large unbrells around the pool

Prós: Exceptional service, friendly staff, very clean and spacious rooms. I stayed here for one week in May. There were not too many guests and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Contras: If you want to go to the beach, you'll need a car or a bike (bike from 7euros a day, about 20 minutes to Carvoeiro beach). You can get a cab for 10 euros.

Prós: The location was good and the layout excellent. The apartment was more than we had expected from the web site information.

Contras: We were disappointed with the second evening meal we had at the restaurant and it was not up to the standard of the one we had earlier in the week.

Prós: The breakfast was great with a wide selection of choices and the apartments were beautiful, fully equipped.

Prós: The accommodation was new and much larger than usually found. The accommodation is in self catering villas.

Contras: The spa treatments were too expensive to make use of.

Prós: The quality and the price (77 euros per night).

Contras: your normal prices seem extravagant

Prós: top rated hotel in every aspect, simply wonderful.You must come with a car though, otherwise you need taxi to/from hotel to town or back.

Contras: none whatsoever - all was perfect.

Prós: We stayed in September 2010 when the hotel was new and some facilities were not available. The accommodation was excellent and very spacious. The pool was lovely and there were always plenty of sunbeds available. The food at breakfast was good though sometimes slo in being replenished

Contras: Although the food at breakfast was good and the staff were very nice service was very eratic.There were lots of staff milling around at times but they were very disorganised and sometimes there would be a long wait for tables to be cleared of food trays to be filled. The hot water in the villas was provided by a hot water tank and if all four of us tried to shower one after the other the hot water would run out.

Prós: Beautiful location and setting. a very nice resort. Staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Superb breakfast buffet, good restaurant, lovely pool, suites very comfortable

Contras: Breakfast times could be extended - this might help with seating difficulties. Definitely need more sun umbrellas as it gets very hot.

Prós: Perfectly location and price. We were only here for a short stay do didnt get to see any sites or beaches

Prós: The pool and surroundings was very pleasant.

Contras: Spiderwebs on the bedroom. I guess room with an ocean view it’s applicable as long as you can see the ocean far away...

Prós: Location and views from swimming pool and our room was amazing.

Contras: Bathroom a bit dated, air conditioning unit not effective. Breakfast very average.

Prós: The development in the grounds

Contras: When I booked on 16 August last year I requested room 202 if possible. The reason for this is that I have severe arthritis and walking at times is difficult. That room (which we stayed in last year) is on the same level as the restaurant, reception and bar, which was far more convenient. Reluctantly we have decided we will not visit this hotel again.

Prós: Its conveniently located very near Marinha , Benagil beach which is the main purpose of our trip in Algarve. Free buffet Breakfast was very good and a delicious and dinner that you have to pay extra if you like for a minimal price but well worth it.

Prós: We enjoy our stay and recommend this place to everyone. Delicious breakfast. Close to small cities and beautiful places to explore. Helpful and kind staff. We are in love with Portugal ❤

Prós: Lovely setting, very quiet, nice room, clean and comfortable, reasonable breakfast, friendly staff and free car parking.

Contras: Dated hotel, although I don't mind the 70's look.

Prós: kind helpful staff, clean and spacious room

Contras: very uncomfortable mattress, poor breakfast

Prós: The proximity to the beach.

Contras: The towels could look like much cleaner that it actually was. Having to pay at the check in.

Prós: The only plus is the hotel being 250 m from the beach and the new sauna and steam bath.

Contras: Very old rooms. From the 70's. Horrible carpets. Several persons complaint about skin problems my wife inclusive. Food is junk! Don't even think about going here. Booked 3 nights but stayed only 2. How can this be a 4 star hotel? Something is wrong with the way the hotels are classed in Portugal....

Prós: the hotel was very clean and we did not get disturbed for room service for example, the veiw was lovely too from our balcony, the breakfast options was more than adequate, friendly staff.

Contras: no

Prós: Nice swimming pool, good breakfast, big rooms, good distance walk from the beach aldo you have to be carefull with the traffic circulation.

Contras: The swimming pool snacks quality do not reflect the expensive prices. Aldo some rooms have sea view, beware that many do not have that. The hotel needs some works due to it's age.

Prós: Small kitchen in room

Contras: The breakfast was always cold

Prós: Room had efficient air conditioning. The room was comfortable and clean. The pool area was gorgeous.

Contras: The breakfast buffet was the worst we have experienced at any hotel on our vacation adventures.

Prós:

Contras: The food could have been better, espacially breakfast. No fresh coffee, machine only!

Prós: meet our expectations

Contras:

Prós: Very family oriented . Didnt feel like a hotel at all , we stayed in a small 2 bedroom home loved the patio out side ... we had everything we needed... just think rooms/ furnitures need a little updating other then that great little house .kids loved the pools. And waking around property..

Contras: Not gated , anyone can drive in or out of property.. so not much security for guests... furniture is old and not very comfortable from sofas to beds etc needs updating.

Prós: Location, atmosphire, quietness,pricing, hospitality.

Prós: Not to many noise or to bust it was good

Contras: No comment

Prós: The 2 bedroom superior bungalow had a small but new well equipped kitchen, nice sized lounge dining area,good sized toilet/shower room, good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage space. Excellent WiFi. Very clean, recently decorated, maid service 3 times per week.

Contras: limited outside space, but very close to the large pool area.

Prós: Nice rooms, clean and good pools, very friendly stuff

Prós: The accomodation was clean and very comfortable. Reception staff were polite and helpful. The location was beautiful .

Contras: Due to covid19 the bar and restaurant was closed but still charged the same price. Would have been nice to have a discount as the only facility was the pools. Could have been charged off peak rates.

Contras: 2 bed bungalow superior was 2 star at best can't believe people are happy we tried to go to another resort and pay for upgrade the offered one at vale da milo village for an extra 870 euros never again

Prós: Breakfast and local

Contras: Smell coming from bathroom and broke air conditioneer

Prós: the beech and town were great

Contras: nothing

Prós: We thought that the accommodation was very good and good value.We liked the location of our room near to the pool.The stay were very helpful and friendly, especially Richard who works in the bar.

Contras: It would have been useful having a phone in the room

Prós: i found the bungalow we stayed in to be very outdated and in need of repair and bringing up to date this included all the appliences etc !we paid 141€ a night and feel the it was worth no where near that price , we looked forward to coming and found the weekend was ruined due to being placed in this bungalow .There were many things negative ie cracks and general appearence and dacor were extremely outdated ,appliences not working or hot to touch (fridge )therefore dangerous ,lack of utencils and items like dustpan brush , cups , etc ,no tv (after what we paid and also having young children )and probably the worse of all which ruined our weekend completely was waking up on our last night to hundreds of ants in bed !

Contras: as above !and when we complained at receptoin about the appliences we told they were fine i have never come across a kettle that boiled and not switch it self off therefore dangerous or a fridge that was hot to touch on the outside of the door and rubber sealing oor !

Contras: No TV and telephone in the room, so there is no possibility to contact reception in case of need. The bathrooms are old and some of the apartment are located very far from the central structure and restaurants, making a car indispensable. One day we came back to the hotel and found the window opened, but nothing was stolen. We suppose that the people of the maid service forgot to close them when leaving the room.

Prós: We stayed in the upper part of the complex where the pool area was much quieter. Lovely pool, lovely surrounds, great place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. Reception staff very helpful. Italian restaurant very nice and very reasonable.

Contras: Main pool bar was much better equipped than the one we stayed at. Cleaners came every morning at 10am. Not what you want on a relaxing holdiay! But they were very nice.

Prós: The relaxing atmosphere and the helpful staff at the reception.

Contras:

Prós: swimming pool, and the cleanliness

Contras: some kind of transportation between hotel and village woul make thing easier

Prós: The hotel was very quiet and clean. Room very spacious.Excellent place to relax.

Contras: There was no tv in room.

Contras: Fungus in the swimming pool and still you're forced to buy 5 Euro swimming CAP. But the clifs and beach is so beautiful that I almost forgot this.

Prós: The location is very special

Contras: Asking for a orange as dessert was 7,--(!) and it was the same for other dessert options. Way to expensive

Prós: Rooms fit for family, ideal for 4. Excellent breakfast. Beach in front hotel is beautiful and invite for a trekking. Morgadinho, hotel restaurant is very good with a reasonable pricing.

Prós: Spa therapist Monica - professional approach,good treatment Views around Spacious room

Contras: Dusty and very old

Prós: - apartment space - jacuzzi in the toilet - surrounding area - comfort room - friendly staff - garden

Contras: - have option in the apartment to light the fireplace - restaurant (improve all food and lower prices) - difficult to locate the apartments, the number of apartments should be more visible to those who arrive at night

Prós: Didnt have breakfast.

Contras: Thought that the paths and walkways needed weeded, rather unkept.

Prós: Stunning setting- peaceful, fabulous views out to see and the hotel is designed beautifully around this. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and varied and the gym and pool facilities were a great addition to our stay. I would highly recommend for families and people who want easy access to the sites and attractions of the algarve but wish to stay somewhere a little off the beaten track with a relaxed and peaceful vibe.

Prós: Beautiful setting, very peaceful, right on coast and room was lovely.

Contras: Restaurant was very disappointing, was advertised as a la carte but only doing a set menu for dinner which was expensive with very limited choices (turkey drumsticks, tuna or quinoa on the night we tried). Bizarrely they were offering a full room service menu including pastas, risottos and meat and fish dishes, which was what we ended up ordering and eating in our room but why they couldn’t also offer those options in the restaurant was beyond comprehension. Also they had run out of house wine and the only options they had to offer were considerably more expensive than the house wine. Again, we ended up buying and drinking our own to go with the room service orders! So not a great dining experience, which considering the remote location (nothing else within 15 minutes drive) was very disappointing. Also the spa was very strange, as you couldn’t even go into the pool / jacuzzi area without buying a latex swimming hat, even just to sit in the jacuzzi and there was nowhere else to sit other than in this area so if you came out of the sauna or steam you just had to mill around to cool down. Again, couldn’t see why they didn’t just offer use of shower caps as they were giving these free in the room and would have made the whole spa much more useable. Staff seemed almost as bewildered as we were by these “rules” and we were told it was all due to a recent change of ownership.

Prós: Great location on top of the cliffs. Quiet setting.

Contras: The kitchen was void of any equipment upon arrival. We had to ask for every knife, spoon, plate etc. The lighting in the apartment especially in the living room is poor.

Prós: the two bedrooned suite was spacious andvery quiet

Contras: pool was being mended spa dirty however gave us free half board while pol out of action.

Prós: the location is great, the area is very quiet, close to the sea.The staff is very nice and friendly. the rooms are 5 stars standard

Contras: The pool is too cold, should be heated, also the jacuzzi is not warn enough.The food at the restaurant is awful and overpriced. the breakfast is ok.

Prós: We enjoyed the quiet, the landscape, and the little cove beach, also the availability of good places to eat.

Contras: breakfast was good, but dinner was not.

Prós: Beautiful location with access to lovely beach.Remote enough to feel away from the raz a matazz.Massage was super.

Contras: The food was less than ordinary at extraordinary price

Prós: It has a lovely position facing due south so that the one is in full sun every day. The spa, with gym, indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, 4 different hot & cold shower jets (tropical, side, rain & mist) and a relaxing water bed room was the best that we encountered. Accommodation, food and service were superb. All in all a great relaxing holiday and the added bonus of lovely weather in mid November.

Contras: One cannot stay there without a car and there is a nasty 2km drive on a windy single track road down to the hotel. It could be a bit hairy as there were a few sharp bends and occasionally a herd of goats to negotiate! However once one arrived it was wonderful.

Prós: The rooms were great, facilities fantastic as was the location

Contras: The restaurant was very poor and expensive, we complained and noone seemed to care. They also need to at least rent plates, cups, kettle, etc in the kitchen as what is the point of having one if it is empty?

Prós:

Contras: Restaurant food at lunch and dinner was poor and very over priced.

Prós: Beautiful Views

Contras: No

Prós: Room was excellent. Location quiet but accessible.

Contras: Front desk staff were not great and when asked to recommend a restaurant, unhelpful. All other service staff were excellent.

Prós: Top location !

Prós: Good location Spacious room Very good value for money Friendly (cleaning) staff

Contras: Beds not that comfortable Very small shower Staff at reception very effective, but could be a bit more friendly

Prós: It was quiet and parking was right by the front door.

Contras: Needed a few more pans and bowls in the kitchen. Incredibly there was no sieve, for draining pasta etc

Prós: Good cost performance with excellent location and view!

Contras: Hotel is a little bit old but everything was good enough with this price.

Prós: Very comfortable, staff very polite and helpful set in a very peaceful and relaxing location.

Prós: Very calm place, with a lot of space outside the villa to enjoy the good weather of Algarve.

Contras: More children activities during the day.

Prós: Friendly staff and good restaurant.

Prós: The staff were very friendly hotel nice and clean.

Prós: We liked everything, great view from terrace, hotel (apartments) itself, staff was very helpful: we were assigned a house which was way too far from the house our friends had so we asked in the reception to change it and they changed to the one next to our friends.

Contras: The beach is a bit far, like 10-15 minutes from the hotel, you have to take the stairs down there.

Prós: Very helpful and pleasant personnel, very clean and large territory, free wi-fi zone, comfortable apartment.

Contras: We will strongly recommend to the hotel management to change home appliances - washing mashine, coffee mashine and fridge - everything were in bad condition and rusty.We were travelling with one year old baby and for us was very important easy access to to the beach and playground. In reality we had to use a car to go to the beach, playground was small and not clean.

Prós:

Contras: Our room had a lighthouse shining into it over the night we stayed. The house also smelt heavily of smoke atlthough we had requested a non smoking house. We moved to the Cloina Da Lapa on the second day and our stay there was fantastic.

Prós: The accommodation and grounds were excellent. The proximity to the town and numerous restaurants was a plus for us.

Contras:

Prós: quiet scenic surroundings

Contras: lack of entertainment

Prós: Good location, very clean, well serviced

Contras: Did not take notice of request for four single beds, although this was written on the booking form, this resulted in being transfered to very cold accomodation which took approx 2 days to warm up.

Contras: Bed too small

Prós: The bed is comfortable and the location is vey convenient - there were loads of restaurants around.

Contras: Practically everything! The customer service was terrible - the staff were rude, dismissive, abrupt, and overall unhelpful and unwelcoming. The breakfast options were very limited. There are no other options other than pork which my friend cannot eat due to religious reasons. There are not able to meet a lot of dietary requirements. The room was not cleaned to a high standard. When we first arrived, staff members suggested we had not made a booking and was very condescending! She did not apologise once she had actually looked and found my booking. We had ordered a cab and was waiting however, the lady at reception sent our cab away. This happened to numerous people of my background and age group. When we reported this, the other receptionist told us he did not care and it was not his problem. We felt racially discriminated against. During breakfast no conversation was made with us by staff however, they gladly conversed and smiled with other backgrounds. I believe despite the amazing location, it is not worth staying here and being treated in a bad way.

Prós: Pool, plenty of sun loungers and shade, poolside WC clean, breakfast, poolside snack bar and bar staff very friendly. Outdoor seating nice. Great location.

Contras: Reception staff not welcoming . Quite unhelpful. Bedroom basic but clean. However wardrobe doors stuck which was a nuisance. Told reception but did not get it fixed.

Prós: good

Contras: Staff attitude

Prós: The hotel provides good accommodation at value for money prices. The staff are friendly and efficient.

Prós: Despite some bad reviews of the decor, we thought it was bright and modern. The pool is great... set up a tab in advance and then swim up, sit on your stool and enjoy a cold beer in the pool. There is an indoor pool, sauna and jacuzzi if its cold outside as well. Breakfast was fine and always re-stocked when we were there. The location was great for us. Not right in the centre of the 'strip' of restaurants but close enough to walk to the beach or local bars and restaurants (it is up a slight hill though if you're less able)

Contras: Our fridge didn't work which was a little annoying as we would have liked to have kept the drinks cold

Prós: Central position of the hotel within the resort

Contras: The breakfasts were poor, with luke warm food. Also the decor of the hotel was enough to induce a migraine

Prós: Nice Hotel. Staff generally good. Nice Pool. Location good . Generally clean. Would Recommend

Contras: Room cleaning could be 7 oclock at night. Shower adequate

Prós: Manuel on reception was brilliant! Loved the pool and rooms were cleaned daily. Hotel is in the thick of the town and you have everything you need within walking distance.

Contras: sunbeds were very uncomfortable.

Prós: convenient location

Contras: jacuuzi not in good condition

Prós: The efficiency of the hotel

Contras: Berakfast should start 30 mins earlier to enable early pick up times from hotel

Prós: interier design

Contras: unable aircondition in bathroom

Prós: The Hotel staff were very helpful and polite

Contras: There was no soap or shampoo etc in our room. We stayed off season and for just one night, so maybe that was the reason.

Prós: Nothing

Contras: When I arrived they could not take a credit card, so had to pay cash. They di not ask for my passport, and then asked me to provide it at 2am when I returned to the hotel. Staff were surly, breakfast was uneatable, and TV did not work in room

Prós: Beautiful hotel very bigs rooms beautiful pool and very very good friendly staff. Very clean .cleaners clean to a high stamdard everyday

Contras: Poor facilities, terrible food

Prós: For the price paid, the room was fantastic. We got a room on the ground floor with a little patio and a view over the pool. It was out of season, so really quiet and just a nice place to relax. The room was big, very clean and comfortable. It is also just a few minutes walk down to the beaches. Just note that the walk back is a serious uphill.

Prós: Great beach great place I will definetly go again

Prós: adequate

Contras: cleaners nwwd a houseleeper to raise the standard

Prós: Fresh fruit for breakfast was excellent Nice and quiet op

Prós: pool house was lovely clean and well cared for

Contras: the indoor pool was closed and there was no facilities as the restaurant and bar was closed

Contras: Beds could have been more comfortable, so could the pillows. I had to make up the sofa in the living room (even though we had booked for 3 people).

Prós: Swim pool.

Contras: Restaurant does not have lunch only snacks.

Prós: Very spacious apartment, we're family of 5 and the apartment had ample space, plus it had three bathrooms. Reception person very friendly and helpful.

Prós: Conparing price to the things that i got i’m Really happy appartment had it all, towels, soap, full equiped kitchen, Breakfast included in price, etc

Contras: We had only two towels for 3 persons but there was bo information that towels will be there so i was prepared that there will be none, in the kitchen there wasn’t anything to clean the dishes

Prós: The accommodation to fit a big family and the location being not too far from the main town centre as well as supermarkets

Contras: If it is a large family, you run out of hot water pretty quick. The gas cooker was very slow. Not enough utensils when thinking of cooking for a big family

Prós: Nice suroundings, very quiet, great pool. Fully equipped kitchen, very spacious, I believe families would love it also

Contras: Staff didn't know the price of the breakfast. Yeah, restaurant is a different company, all that, but still, could have known at least an estimate.

Prós: A very enjoyable weeks break was made all the better by the kindliness of the reception staff who helped us on several occasions with the minimum of fuss.Much appreciated..

Prós: The big spaces in the apartments.

Prós: I found that the facilities were top class. I was impressed by the large indoor and outdoor pool.The resturant was very good. It was very good to have housekeeping everyday.The people on the reception were most helpful.It was also large enough to suit our family. Th pricing made this made it attractive.

Contras: The rooms whilst large are dated and are in need of an up grade.There are not enough plugs in the kitchen.The apartments need to be improved.

Prós: relaxing environment safe friendly well placed to visit other areas in the algarve good pool.

Prós: The staff make the hotel especially in the breakfast room

Prós: Sea view! Amazing!

Contras: Everything was spot on

Prós: Amazing place to stay. We received an upgrade room with sea view, which was just incredible. Made our stay even better. Staff is completely prepared, breakfast was great, close to the beach.

Prós: Great location is amazing and the beach is literally a short walk as are all the facilities restaurants, bars, pharmacy.

Contras: Car parking facilities are a bit hit and miss especially when it is busy. Shower is a bit small and we did not have a balcony which would have been nice.

Prós: Overall a great experience excellent helpful staff definitely be back.

Prós: Near everything. Shops, restaurants and transportation all nearby.

Contras: Very noisy. A lot of street noise. Difficult to sleep.

Prós: Excellent location in the centre of town and very comfortable with friendly, supportive staff.

Contras: N/A

Prós: The location was ideal - adjacent to the beach and the action close at hand. The downside is the rooms facing the street due get a fair bit of noise due to people patronizing a pub, and other nearby establishments late at night. Room, lounge, dining room and pool area all appeared clean.

Contras: As stated above - neighbourhood noise late at night.

Prós: Wonderful location,very nice room,lovely breakfast ,excellent staff.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Very good town to base our visit in the area. 10 minutes, easy taxi ride of about 10 € from Lagoa and Marinha beach. We walked from Marinha beach back to hotel along the trail, excellent experience. Oh, and the orange on the counter was very sweet and a blessing for traveling guests, thank you.

Contras: The bathtub plug didn’t work so we wouldn’t took a bath after the long hike.

Prós: Hotel is directly on the plaza adjacent to the beach. Easy to come and go from the beach. If you are plans are to enjoy the beach, this is your hotel.

Contras: Coffee in room is weak. Needed both packs to make one cup. Wifi available only in the lobby. Signal weak. Buffet breakfast only option. Went outside the hotel for a simple breakfast. K

Prós: Lovely view, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room

Prós: Locality

Contras: The breakfast was very average, only had it for 1 day

Prós: It was well situated in the centre of Carvoeiro village with a lovely view from the balcony towards the beach

Contras: The room was small and the bathroom very cramped, the standad of the room and the rather sparse breakfast did not represent good value for money. This hotel is trading on its position and view and needs updating to modern standards. We also had a very disturbed night's sleep with noise from the square until 5am.

Prós: The proximity to the centre of town and car parking available

Contras: The swimming pool is surrounded by buildings and was very hot

Prós: The location was excellent being right in town and across from the beach. Carvoeiro is a lovely town with a great beach.

Contras: Poor sound proofing / insulation. Any noises echoed through the floors.

Prós: very convenient location

Contras: beds were very uncomfortable.

Prós: The location was brilliant- right in the centre of everything!

Contras:

Prós:

Contras: The bedding was so damp that we had to sleep on top of the blanket in our travelling clothes. The bolster type pillow was rock hard. Street noise until the small hours

Prós: The location, it was very near the beach and in the centre of the village

Contras: I was very dissappointed with the cleanliness of the hotel. I booked a twin room and both beds had hairs in them. I requested a different room which was marginally better. I still had to clean out the drawers before putting my clothes in them. Furthermore the cleaner came into my room on two occasions even though I had the do not disturb sign out. She removed some of the towels and did not replace them. Furthermore there was a smell of sewage which wafted through the hotel and around the swimming pool area. While not high in my list of priorities satelite TV was listed as one of the facilities. There were approximately 10 stations available of which only one (CNN) was in english. I requested a radio for the room and was advised none were available.

Prós: Very close to the beach, friendly and professional personnel, good conditioning, good sound insulation from the street.

Contras: Cleaning of rooms needs improvement.

Prós: The property was very comfortable and clean and nicely located near the village. The host was very friendly and we would happily return.

Contras: Nothing!

Prós: Nice quiet location in Carvoeiro. away from the main street area. Nice walk to the fabulous scenic cliff front and boardwalk and a lovely village to wander around. Very Friendly and very helpful staff. Very comfortable room and a Great breakfast. And Tea/coffee facilities in room also. Lovely pool area, but i was there in Feb so didn,t get to use it... Parking on the grounds. I would stay again.

Contras: Too short a stay!!!

Prós: It was very clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Prós: Everything was perfect! It's 5 min away from the beach and the pool was really appreciated as well. The breakfast was fresh and was delivered to our door every morning, which is a luxury! The room was a good size and quite modern. Also, the owner kindly let us stay a couple of hours past check out time. Loved our stay and would definitely come back.

Contras: The villa description on the booking.com says it's possible to arrange horseback riding at additional cost, but apparently there are no such services available nearby. I just think its better to remove it from the description to avoid any confusion.

Prós: Nice location with short walk to everything in town. Very clean, very good breakfast with eggs and yogurt. Really nice accommodating staff. Good value for the money. Large room with living area, excellent wifi and cable tv. Large clean bathroom with plenty of hot water. NIce clean pool area.

Contras: Pool was not heated. Mattresses could have been better.

Prós: The Villa has a scenic location, large rooms, a lovely pool and friendly staff. The gardens are pretty.

Contras: I can’t think of anything.

Prós: Isabela is very friendly and warmly host. We will be happy to come again the next time we visit Algarve.

Prós: Family feeling and Cousy.

Prós: everything.

Contras: there is a steep hill to get to the bars, beach etc so not suitable for people with walking problems, but if you are ok only takes a few minutes to be in the middle of everything.

Prós: Lovely large spacious room

Contras: noisy from people walking about upstairs

Prós: Fabulous place, lovely owners for whom nothing was too much trouble.Huge rooms well equipped, great bathrooms, very clean and spotless.

Contras: Walking back up the hill in the evenings after a huge dinner!

Prós: Very quite and peaceful little nice Hotel on the top of one of the hills in Carvoeiro.If you looking for a place there to relax, to be yourself, no animation and things like that, you are on the right place here. Sitting on the terasse on top of the house you can see a great sunrises and sunset and the stars at night...

Prós: arrived late, welcomed with a smile, good choice of continental breakfast , spotless room & public areas, helpful friendly staff, quiet but good location to shops/beach/restuarants

Prós: Very relaxing stay and most friendly. Will go again.

Contras: Every thing was fine.

Prós: Peaceful location....Warm and friendley. Jose made you feel so welcome we will be returning..like mist guest return each year

Contras:

Prós: friendly efficient staff

Contras:

Prós: helpfull friendly service

Contras:

Prós: Basic but just perfect. Location is far enough from nightlife noise but still central and very close to bars, restaurants, markets and main beach. The Welwitshia makes you feel at home and to wanna come back!!!

Contras: This is not a real minus but if you are not good by foot be aware that the Welwitshia is located on a slight hill and getting there might be some kind of workout especially during hot summer days ;-)

Prós: Excellent location, lovely apartment with very friendly staff. We can’t wait to return

Contras: Absolutely nothing

Prós: Never ate breakfast at Algar Seco but lots of great Breakfast areas nearby. Visited nearby Marinha Beach twice , best beach in Europe

Prós: Another amazing stay at our favourite resort in Portugal. Picture perfect.

Prós: location

Contras: heated pool

Prós: The location is fabulous and it is a beautiful complex with excellent facilities. The apartment was very clean and spacious with a stunning view. We arrived late and Bruno was still waiting to show us around. We were really taken with the place and they provided our baby with a cot and made him very welcome too. The bistro nedt to the pool is fantastic too. The staff there are some of the best I have ever experienced!

Contras: There should be an option for double beds. The beds were also very hard and pillows were not too comfortable. Housekeeping was good but the housekeeping office was directly below our apartment and they were very loud from 8.30am onwards. It slightly ruined our relaxing morning cuppa soaking up the glorious view when there were people shouting nearby. This is minor though.

Prós: The overall place is very clean and efficient lovely staff very helpful and professional

Prós: + Staff was very kind and helpful in the Reception, the Bistro or the cleaning ladies. + All apartments have really see view. + Nice cliff formations 50meters away +/- You have to walk a bit to the closest beach. But the beaches around are breathtaking. Best to come by rental car and explore them and the region.

Contras: - The lunch selection of the Bistro is not that great

Prós: Excellent view and the garden. Sitting in front of fireplace in the evening was so-o-o cozy. Spacious, comfortable, clean, well-equipped apartment. Welcoming and caring staff. Boardwalk along the cliffs with stunning views. A lot of supermarkets (Intermarche, Aldi, Pingo Doce, Apolonia) within 5-minute drive.

Contras: It was a bit cold in December, but one can use the air conditioner in heating mode, or light the fireplace (recommended, firewood is provided). There is a heater in the bathroom too.

Prós: Very smart looking quite unique

Contras: Tv in English did not work and staff did not fix it, ok if you’re French or German channels everywhere
