Hotéis em Praia do Carvoeiro

Prós: Perfectly located

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Wow everything - beautiful spacious apartment with most amazing views of the Algor coast. Staff lovely and food in restaurant top class. Spacious pool area with lots of loungers and shade if you prefer

Prós: Beautiful location, stunning scenery, beautiful pool, lovely gardens, tranquil and had all the amenities we wanted from a hotel (cleaning, great concierge, restaurant, pool, laundry service) with the privacy and well thought-out benefits of an apartment for our stay.

Contras: Honestly, we liked it all!

Contras: Sunnier balcony/terrace

Prós: Lovely apartments with excellent pool. Excellent location.

Prós: The staff is excellent. We dealt with at least 4-5 different people and they were all professional, helpful, and courteous. The room is a good size with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked. The place is very clean - probably one of the cleanest properties I've ever stayed at. The hotel is about a 5min walk to the beach. We tried different beaches in the area because they are so close. But the beach close to the hotel is great. The property is close to the coast so you can spend quite a bit of time walking along it on the rock structures. I would highly recommend taking a tour of the caves and ask the hotel staff for the best time of day - low tide is best as you get to see all the beaches within the caves. The hotel is also close to smaller grocery stores but I would avoid these and take a 5min drive to the inter marche which is great. We also ate at the Earth restaurant 3 times which is a 30 second walk from the property. I would return next time in the algarve

Contras: everything was great. I would recommend asking for a room on the 2nd floor as you get a better view of the sea. Every room has a sea view but it is slightly obstructed on the first floor

Prós: Loved the pato area

Contras: Pillows were not very comfortable

Prós: Excellent location. Quiet but close to local amenities. Well cared for gardens and peaceful.

Contras: Leaving

Prós: Location, cleanliness pool view

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Linen smelt lovely and fresh. Nice large fridge with ice tray. Good air conditioning

Contras: The only thing I missed was a box of tissues as I forgot to pack some!

Prós: Tivoli Carvoeiro was a beautiful place to stay! The BEST part of this spot is definitely the location and the view of the caves and the little private beach (although a little tricky to get down to). The location was great for exploring the Algarve and traveling to other local beaches and sites. The staff was very helpful in making recommendations and helping us plan our stay.

Contras: The price tag - it was expensive to stay and to eat/drink on the property. You are paying for location here. There was a lot of selection for breakfast, but it wasn't the best food we had on our trip. We didn't eat dinner on property for fear of the bill and we wanted a more local experience. Lunch was good, but again, expensive. Definitely a little more luxury than we are used to. This was our honeymoon trip and this was definitely a family spot, so lots of kids.

Prós: Amazing view, great food and cocktails, amazing skybar, great location for exploring the caves nearby, quite area and friendly staff.

Contras: We only requested the room to be cleaned once in the 5 nights stayed, put the sign at 9AM and when we returned at 4PM they were just getting started; they didn't clean the floors or change the bed linens. Very noisy rooms, you could hear your next door neighbors. Lots of people were reserving the sunbeds by the pool early morning by placing towels on them and nobody telling them off. Quite uncomfortable pillows.

Prós: The comfort. The breakfast. Bed. Pool, bars and restaurants. The view.

Contras: Walking distance to the beach (15 minutes)

Prós: Location, view and good breakfast

Contras: Ants in the room

Prós: Breakfast was good, staff very attentive, despite large crowds of people & very noisy

Contras: Coffee was awful served by staff, much better from nespresso machine. It was very noisy but probably not much can be done about this, except go at a quieter time! I was disappointed with the room, I did not think it was upto 5 star standard.

Prós: Amazing view, great breakfast. Comfy bed and great location. Great family hotel wouldn’t recommend for couples in school holidays

Contras: Sunbeds... would expect a 5 star to have comfier sunbeds. There was 10 with cushions but always reserved early in the morning even though the hotel asks for know one to reserve people still did. Staff at pool restaurant were a little rude not what you expect at a 5 star hotel. Staff at the bar and breakfast were great though

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: We went to the Tivoli on our honeymoon as don’t normally stay in hotels like this! Our room had twin beds instead of double so we were put in a different room immediately and a more beautiful one. Food was excellent. Always atleast 1 veggie option but I just ate from the salad bar as it was the best. Spotlessly clean. Staff were lovely and friendly and our room was always cleaned when we left for meals. Highly recommend.

Prós: Beautiful property, amazing views. Staff was super friendly and very accommodating.

Contras: There’s nothing that I didn’t like.

Prós: The location is stunning. Superbly clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Contras: No shop.

Prós: We loved the views from this hotel. The sky bar had great chilled music and cocktails. We had a great stay, and would recommend this hotel. The rooms were clean and the breakfast choices were good!

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: Comfortable, quiet, charming. Very helpful staff!

Contras: Restaurant is overpriced

Contras: A deserted outdated place with poor facilities and lots of flies in the apartment. Regretted that we blindly chose it! Big money for nothing!

Prós: The pool was amazing. I was staying here to attend an on-site wedding. The wedding was amazing.

Contras: The staff for the wedding were very good. Reception staff were cold and unwelcoming. The staff in the restaurant and bar were not at a 5 star level. The breakfast similarly was 3 star at beast.

Prós: The food quality was excellent.

Contras: They closed the restaurant for a small private booking and didn't tell us until we arrived. They only had one restaurant and nowhere nearby to eat either.

Prós: Great location, quiet and peaceful and very friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again.

Contras: Maybe the gym could have a little bit more attention, but apart from that everything was great.

Prós: Lovely cliff top views.

Contras: They closed the restaurant for a private party and we couldn’t eat there.

Prós: Tatiana in the kids club she was awesome with the children.

Prós: The setting is gorgeous. The staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Great location.

Contras: The place just lacks some decent facilities for me to give it a 10 rating. The place is lovely but it needs a decent gym and spa. The gym and spa is a waste of time. No decent machines or free weights. They have so much ground in the estate they could easily build a tennis court, create a games room for kids such as table tennis or pool. Not much to do other than use the swimming pool. The food at night is not good. Trying too hard to look like a Michelin restaurant but quality and selection poor. People are great though but the owners need to invest in the property and the little touches that would make us come back.

Prós: Lovely setting

Contras: Poor service from staff in restaurant Not very attentive, Need to have a person from the Kitchen serving fresh eggs at breakfast as they tend to sit in warming tray for a very long time and have to ask for it to be replenished also a toaster that works

Prós: Location and quality of property

Contras: Front end staff on customer experience can be better. It was not poor but average

Prós: Very nice breakfast, smooth stay

Prós: The owner/ staffs were extremely helpful and nice! Exceptional hospitality! Location was perfect (walking distance to the beach, markets, and restaurants but located in a quiet neighborhood). Spacious and clean room for a family of 4. Free parking and breakfast are always a plus.

Prós: The villa is at an excellent location: only a 5-minute walk from the center, yet there is absolutely no noise, ensuring a perfectly peaceful stay. Great continental breakfast on the balcony with a sea view, excellent pool, quiet private terrace, huge walk-in shower, abundant private parking. Most importantly, the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful!

Contras: Number and placement of power sockets was inadequate even for two people, may want to bring/request an extension.

Prós: Lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Fab location.

Contras: It would've been good to have ability to buy refreshments whilst sat around the pool.

Prós: Great location just up the hill from beach and all bars and restaurants literally a 5 min walk. Lovely staff and really helpful. On check in the man at reception told us everything we needed to know and see in Carvoeiro. Our room was basic but was spotless. Cleaned everyday with fresh towels and sheets. Every morning there was a lovely continental breakfast. Everything was so fresh and all the bread and pastries were still warm. Will definitely be returning.

Contras: no balcony

Prós: Spacious, clean, good breakfast

Prós: Very clean nice villa. Pool excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location excellent could walk to all bars etc. We didn’t have breakfast but it looked really nice

Contras: Needs a bar/ snack area bit more atmosphere. The room was adequate

Prós: Lovely place. Great position. Lovely family feel.

Contras: Not enough sun beds

Prós: Owner was very friendly. Breakfast was lovely and we enjoyed sitting out on the terrace eating it every morning. Location for us was perfect being close enough to walk to the beach and square but far enough away for it to be nice and quiet. The hotel was immaculately clean and was cleaned daily. You won’t get better value for money in Carvoeiro.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Excellent staff and place excived my expectations. With breakfast included.

Contras: Nothing I like all

Prós: Very friendly staff, clean environment, on time room services and beautiful complex in general.

Prós: It was great. We really enjoyed the location and facilities. While we were there the indoor pool was closed for annual maintenance which was annoying. But overall beautiful property with helpful staff. There is a great winery nearby where we went for lunch one of the days it was fabulous.

Contras: Overall everything was great. I don't really have any suggestions on the stay.

Prós: It was an ok hotel. There was nothing amazing about it.

Contras: Rather average hotel, but sold as a luxury spa and resort. Rather expensive for what it is. Terrible breakfast buffet. Spa was almost non existent with one staff. Food at jasmine bar was horrible.

Prós: Breakfast was fantastic in this Hotel we spent a wonderful weekend there. There is very beautiful beaches nearby. Swimming pool was great.

Prós: Staff were incredibly helpful (we arrived much earlier than check-in time and checked out later too because we had a late flight). Transfer bust to beaches was excellent and driver was very friendly. All the front desk staff were excellent. Room was spotless and bathrooms were immaculate. Stayed in the two bed apartment with garden view (not pool view) which we found to be private and peaceful. Pool was lovely and breakfast was excellent. Poolside restaurant food was good too. We used the kids club for our 5 year old and it was very good with some great activities (reptiles, parrot show etc). An excellent experience all round, and would visit again.

Contras: Neighbours were very noisy on one evening and the design of the apartment meant our master bedroom was next to the neighbours front/living room. So music and voices were very loud (after midnight) whilst we were trying to sleep. That was only an issue on one evening and it didnt affect our stay. I would say most of the residents are very considerate. The location was remote (which we liked) and many residents had a car (we didn't). We only stayed for 7 nights and managed perfectly without a car (using the transfer bus 3 times), but I think if you were staying longer you may want a car to visit more of the area (restaurants etc).

Prós: Location

Contras: The breakfast was not up to standard in quality and variation for such a nice hotel

Prós: Size, lay-out and comfort of the apartment. Direct access to garden. Friendly staff. Nice sunbeds pool area.

Contras: Very slow and inefficient F&B service. Although staff is very friendly, ordering drinks and a meal @ pool bar took forever.

Prós: We needed a total rest, and the hotel certainly had the facilities for us to sit by a pool for 4 days. Our rooms were next door to each other and the resort is very quiet at night, so we rested well. The pool was nice and there weren't too many other people using the resort who weren't staying there.

Contras: The competition in the Algarve is strong and we felt that the hotel was a bit old and run down for the prices we paid. We were very disappointed with the food. Breakfast was only OK and we had the Moroccan Buffet on the first night and it was awful - and cost 28 Euro per person!!!!! Nothing Moroccan about it. This meant we went out every day for lunch and dinner which was OK, but not what we had wanted. We played pingpong a fair bit (to escape the heat of the day) and whilst there were plenty of tables, we had to pay 5 Euros to rent the equipment!!! We were paying so much to stay there and then had to pay more to play pingpong????? And the areas were very dusty and dirty - not cleaned once during our 4 night stay. The staff were sweet but very young and inexperienced. The lady who served us during the Moroccan buffet wasn't even sure how to open a wine bottle. We felt we were paying Algarve prices for a sub standard experience.

Prós: A modern hotel complex - I loved the overall design with echoes from Portugal’s Moorish architectural past built in. Our room was large, well appointed and comfortable with bathrobe and slippers supplied. The Health club likewise had a well equipped gym with a good choice of classes and facilities included both indoor as well as an outdoor pool. The grounds were well tended. Tea making facilities were provided in the bedrooms. Breakfast offered a fantastic choice to cater for all tastes. Everywhere was spacious and tastefully decorated with water features throughout.

Contras: I can’t think of anything.

Prós: Great place. A bit inland, but free shuttle to the beach each day. Great facilities in the hotel and great breakfast.

Contras: The place was great. Not sure how good the main restaurant menu was for children though

Prós: nice hotel, little dated

Contras: I think all employees working in a hotel, those at the breakfast but for sure those at the reception should greet you when you are passing by...A smile costs nothing...I think this is the management’s responsibility ...apart from that good hotel

Prós: Great staff, nice facilities and good restaurant

Contras: There should be a door separating bedroom and living room. Also a bit pricey for basic stuff like water.

Prós: The property looks great, great garden in the back with an equal amazing pool. Rooms have a decent size and a great bed. Nice pool bar. Ample parking space. Great staff at the reception, always happy to help and offer recommendations.

Contras: The walls of the rooms are paper thin. Could hear kids playing pool downstairs, and the live music that they had on occasion (playing for I don’t know who because nobody stayed there to enjoy the show). Breakfast menu needs a reworking. Had the worst selection of ham and salami. Scrambled eggs were tasteless. Pool bar menu for lunch is okish. Pizza dough is frozen pizza dough and the chef piles huge amounts of cheese on it to compensate. Some cocktails are done in a hurry and they do not taste good. Serving staff definitely needs a training on how to serve and wait tables. The amount of times they come over to clean your table during breakfast gets annoying quick.

Prós: We had our honeymoon stay and they surprised us by giving a champagne and fruit platter in our room.

Prós: THE BREAKFAST, ENTERTAINMENT AND STAFF WERE GREAT

Contras: The wifi is slow. wouldn't have noticed if managed to afford the overpriced stay. The ad was misleading and so was a member of staff (lady that told me in email that hotel would look after me and my family concerning activities) I realised she just wanted me to pay more money as she did not advise cheapest option. Told me was best to book with her. I spent everything on this holiday but will never book with booking. com again, because it seems they too don't care about their customers. Then you removed my Genius account till i book with you again? NEVER!! The children did not like the lunch menu ...not wide enough selection prehaps and therefore had to fork out for more food before having to pay for dinner in a few hours. I didn't like the whole experience starting from Gatwick AIRPORT!

Prós: The place was beautiful,clean and friendly staff.

Contras: We didn’t manage to use the restaurant (always fully booked)or try the massage cause no availability. The pool was always very crowded and the umbrellas where not always free or sun beds.

Prós: Fantastic location, beautiful grounds of the hotel - we stayed in one of the Villas, and it was lovely. Beautiful pool, superb food at both restaurants, and lovely breakfast. The best part of this hotel is truly the staff - what a wonderful group of people. So happy to help you, warm and friendly, never too busy, and such attentiveness. What a difference it makes. We really hope to return, and highly recommend this hotel - especially to those travelling with young kids. Kids Club was amazing, and the entire place is both kid and adult friendly.

Prós: Great facilities

Contras: N/A

Prós: Everything was good: Food (restaurant Serenata) & breakfast, swimming pool, room; all the property is beautiful and staff is very nice and helpful, especially Raquel explaining everything always with a smile!

Contras: Nothing to report.

Prós: Location is great, pool area is lovely

Contras: Restaurant is badly understaffed and salads were very tiny

Prós: breakfast was good, the Apartment was spaceous and clean

Contras: The reception was clumsy. Made us feel disoriented and confused. Our luggage was thrown into a pickup truck as if we were on a ranch, and we were asked to help ourselves with the luggage, as there were no "men" to help the ladies at the reception. Not apt for a 5-star experience. We arrived at 10 o clock and requested an early check in, which they told us we would get, but our room was not ready until 15 o clock. The staff was okay, but they were clearly under staffed when we were there and waiters at the restaurant were stressed out and never smiling. Sometimes they would even ignore us, when we ordered a drink. Beds were uncomfortable. The sofa bed was horrible. The aircondition did not work and during the week, we stayed, the hotel did not get around to fix or replace it. No compensation was offered for that. The lunch and evening buffets were mediocre: boring recipes, fish and meat overcooked, potatoes almost raw etc. Location not good. No beaches or restaurants near. In high season there is a shuttle bus from hotel to nearest Beach (3 km away and not 2 km as stated on booking.com) but outside of season there is no shuttle bus even though we had fantastic weather and high temperatures. The hotel accepts big Groups at the cost of the standard offered the rest of the hotel guests. Normally there is a la carte menu with the half board meal plan, but during the week we stayed there was only buffet. The reason, they told us, was because they had a big Group of appr. 40 teenagers on tennis camp. Although the kids behaved, I don't think a 5 star hotel should host these kinds of Groups and it certainly shouldn't be at the cost of other paying guests. I would go as far as calling it fraud. We were told by staff that we had "bad luck" because we stayed at the hotel at the same time as they had a big Group. I simply cannot see how that should be our problem :(

Prós: Excellent all round, very relaxing place to stay .Short taxi/ walk to resort town. Great food and facilities.

Contras: Entertainment.

Prós: Great accommodation and fabulous customer experience

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Location, cleanliness & comfort and customer service were excellent!

Prós: Accommodation bigger than expected

Contras: Not 5 star. Girl on reception was rude and unprofessional during check in. Rooms need basic maintenance, light bulbs, sealing around shower, cables being boxed in and lots of other small issues like this that you would not get in a 4 or 5 star hotel. Chose this hotel as they had an A la Carte half board menu. For the first 3 days of our 9 day stay they did and food was good. Then there was a large influx of school kids and they switched to a buffet. Things rapidly went down hill. Uncooked chicken, over cooked meat and fish. Not enough food to go round. Long waits. Cold food. The list goes on... I would rate it 3 star at best and would say if your looking for 5 star accommodation go elsewhere...

Prós: Brivate bool

Contras: Bed , towels ,furniture too bad not comfortable not luxury bet the Brice too expensive , no body help to take luggage

Prós: The location and the setting, it’s beautiful. Very helpful staff too. Ideal setting for a family holiday with young children.

Prós: The breakfasts were good, lots of choice. The reception staff were polite. Our villa was in a staggered terrace and some aspects of the design were good. E.g. no noise from neighbouring villas, quiet and private. We had pleasant areas to sit outside with a small patio and an upstairs covered balcony leading off the bedroom. The whole place was kept clean. The gardens were well kept.

Contras: At first glance the villa looked well equipped with Bosch appliances in the kitchen and spacious, freshly decorated rooms which appeared well furnished. However there was a lack of attention to detail and to simple comforts. The mattress cover on our double bed was very uncomfortable to lie on. It was too small for the bed and it did not lie flat. It was thin and backed in plastic so easily became skewed and creased and it felt sweaty. We informed staff in reception of this problem but it was not resolved. Two of our pillows felt lumpy and were the type filled with chunks of foam. During our first couple of days we needed to ask reception twice to get a second mug provided in our kitchen (there were lots of small coffee cups and glasses etc- but only one mug). Although we were pleased with the breakfasts, we only had one evening meal in the hotel’s restaurant - as we found it over priced and poor quality. There were not many other guests when we stayed, so nice and quiet but to the extent that it felt a bit weird and lacking in atmosphere. Many of the villas on the large hotel complex appeared to be empty. We were told it was too early in the season for the bus service to the beach.

Prós: fantastic accomodation in lovely landscaped grounds.

Contras: nothing

Prós: The apartments are clean.

Contras: In this hotel you are constantly on a parking lot, walking between cars vs. being surrounded by a nice garden. The pool area isn't cleaned during the day and becomes cluttered and dirty in the afternoon. The apartments are tired and in urgent need of an update. The washing machine didn't work. The access to the nearby beach is via a road with a tiny side walk. Although we booked with a refundable rate and requested and were granted an earlier departure, the hotel still slapped a penalty of 1 additional night to our invoice.

Prós: Amazing stay again and I will be back very soon. The girls on reception and the cleaners are so lovely. Amazing place and location.

Prós: Spacious suites, pool and beach with walking proximity from hotel. Parking slots available for free .

Prós: Carvoeiro is a really nice place - Pestana Palms is situated 1.5kms from centre Nice centre - good beach - chilly sea 16-18 degrees

Contras: The location is ok circa 1.5kms for the Carvoeiro centre - food offered @ lunch / dinner is good and operates by 3rd party - breakfast is disappointing. Townhouse Superior V2 a little tired - black mould on bathroom ceiling - mosquito nets with damage - crazed bathroom ceramics - not really 4* Beach towels change every 2 days and they ran out one day! Pestana Group you need to do better.

Prós: The apartment was really confortable, however its need a remodelation because they are a litlle old and in my opinion the money that we paid for it was to high for our expectation. The most beatiful was the location it was incredible and near to the beach.

Prós: We loved the property......it’s location, the accommodation and the friendliness of the staff.

Contras: Everything was great!

Prós: Staff was great.

Prós: Nice hotel in beautiful area. Walking distance to great beach and Carvoeiro.

Contras: We were happy with everything. The beds could have been more comfortable though.

Prós: Very friendly staff, super location: quiet area, very close to the beach ( and bost trip to Benagil Caves) and walking distance to the Village as well, with plenty of restaurants and little shops. Also very close to start of the beuatiful Seven Hanging Valleys walking trail.

Prós: Clean and spacious

Contras: Needs refurb

Prós: The location is excellent & the private apartments, of which we had 2, are superb. We asked to move to one with a view & that changed the whole experience. Stunning views from the apartments at the back. Then to our pleasant surprise the restaurant food is superb. Just to clarify we stayed in May & the prices were outstanding for that time.

Contras: We came for lunch on a Sunday & the restaurant couldn’t accommodate us as they had a huge booking coming, presumably for golf. We had just returned from a car journey & had to go back out again. We had a small child which didn’t help.

Prós: Staff were very courteous and responsive. Excellent house keeping service everyday

Contras: It would have really helped to have dishwashing detergent and washing machine detergent. As well as paper towels in the kitchen.

Prós: Pool, table tennis and kids entertainment. Elsa was great.

Contras: The food was not as good as I'd expect. We stayed B&B and were disappointed with the breakfast. We had bland pizza on the first day when we arrived which put us off eating there again

Prós: Rooms were Ok, plain design but plenty of space. Outdoor space is plenty. Kids have small play area nearby pool. Location is great about 15min drive you have heart of Algarve region (& Zoomania, splash, Portimao, etc etc)

Contras: Staff was ok.. being guest missed hospitality. Biggest turn off was breakfast. Everyday same small assortment despite of charging 8€/PP. It's so boating to have it twice. Beans, egg etc was kept cold.

Prós: Excellent location, elegant, clean, good breakfast, swimming pools.

Contras: Poor internet wireless

Prós: Very friendly staff, extremely helpful. Lovely grounds and beautiful views from the apartment.lots

Contras: The restaurant had changed since a previous visit and the menu was no longer Portuguese. I was given the impression this would be changing back soon.

Prós: Beds where shocking

Prós: Breakfast was good until it was served pre cooked, staff were very good.

Contras: When we arrived to check in we had to telephone and wait about 25 min's for reception staff to arrive as reception was closed.

Prós: Nice place to live...to relax..and just to be in....We like it a lot.

Prós: Beautiful and clean and friendly

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Very big room with good lighting. Bed is big and comfortable. Hotel restaurant served very good quality set dinner at fair price. Breakfast was included with good variety. Friendly and helpful staff.

Contras: Suggested hotel to post a turn left direction sign at the main street for driver so that we won't miss to turn left.

Prós: Great hotel. Fabulous friendly staff. Great pool area. Good food.

Contras: The hill back up to the hotel

Prós: The location hotel dated .... food very poor

Contras: Need alittle TLC ..... but ok Food wasn’t good at all .... very poor ... not much option ....

Prós: Peaceful location, very nice bathroom, comfy bed and pillows

Contras: Kitchen area was a bit old & dated could do with being refurbished

Prós: Great value well furnished apartments with great pool snack bar

Contras: Distance to town but we used taxi home

Prós: Really quiet location

Contras: It’s a 10 minute walk downhill to town but is a steep hill back up so it might be a little too much for some people in the heat.

Prós: Very comfortable hotel for small money: great bed, spacious room, nice shower, terrace. Convenient parking right in front of the hotel.

Contras: The location is a bit away from the life so be prepared to walk about 15 mins to the town and beach. Not a big deal but just to be aware.

Prós: Lovely hotel, lovely location - staff very friendly -

Contras: Breaksfast hot food not very hot - juices were "water" most days - - cutting grass while people lying by the pool not great -

Prós: The staff were fantastic, you get a welcome drink voucher in arrival, they offer guests chairs for the beach and couldn't do more for us. The location is perfect, rooms were fresh, nicely decorated and a decent size. The showers were fantastic and the breakfast was brilliant. I'd stay here again if I ever visited Carvoeiro again.

Contras: The only fault with this hotel is the that if you have a sea view, your balcony faces the main square which has a stage on it by the beach and there's loud music being played until midnight. Honestly not the end of the world but it did mean it was difficult to get to sleep as you could hear it very clearly, like it was playing in your room. So if you're staying with kids or a light sleeper ask for a room that isn't facing the square.

Prós: Love this hotel. Located across from the beach and restaurants all around. Some of the rooms have been upgraded which we had with sea view. They are working on upgrading all rooms and extending wifi too as it's only available in reception. The hotel provide beach chairs and parasol free of charge. The breakfast is pleasantly adequate too. Reception staff are very pleasant and helpful as are the staff at breakfast.

Contras: No real issues with the Hotel. All was to our satisfaction.

Prós: The location was right on the beach with a super nice view. Can’t beat that. They also gave my husband a bottle of wine for his birthday and 2 drink vouchers for their bar.

Prós: The staff were very helpful in accommodating additional breakfast item requests. Very central location Room serviced daily. Pool lovely

Contras: It was very noisy at night as the hotel is so close to the centre. Possibly a room at the back of hotel would be quieter. Also a very limited number of Sun loungers available.

Prós: Location Friendly helpful staff

Contras: Bathroom very small Not enough sun beds

Prós: The location is excellent just few steps far from the beach. Good breakfast. Amazing service from the staff.

Contras: Because of the location it might be a bit noisy sometimes. The bathroom was not very clean.

Prós: ○Location to the beach ○friendly & helpful staff ○breakfast ○pool area ○large comfortable bed

Contras: ○no Wi-Fi in room but hotel is under maintenance

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

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

Prós: Everything from the spectacular location to the friendly staff.... loved it!

Contras: Nothing - everything fabulous

Prós: Great variety at breakfast, amazing location 1 min walk to the beach and 30 second walk to so many restaurants and shops. Also great entertainment right outside hotel.

Contras: Out shower was awful the whole bathroom got soaked every time we put it on and out ground floor balcony was on the street so we couldn’t leave the door open in case someone came in haha. Also the air con in our room was awful but our friends room was amazing. The pool doesn’t get much sunlight so not good for sunbathing.

Prós: Very central. Staff friendly and helpful. Beautiful position near beach and central square.

Contras: WiFi coverage was only available in lobby area.

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: The staff was kind and helpfull

Contras: Old instalations, not maintained properly. Not possible to darken the room. Breakfast quite poor.

Prós: Location of Hotel was excellant

Contras: The hotel and rooms are starting to look tired, also the lounge area was very dismal. i felt the Hotel could do with a complete face lift. The entertainment area was outside so the rooms overlooking the pool could hear the music till 11 30pm an early night was out of the question if your room like ours overlooked this area

Prós: The buffet here was good but not great. The pool and beach were both very nice and relaxing, however.

Contras: Most of the hotel is older, so a decent number of the features were slightly worn down but still functional.

Prós: Breakfast was great!

Contras: The pool closed at 7 pm. We got there at 7 pm.

Prós: Shower in bath is not comfortable. Had to pay extra for using safe.

Contras: Firendly staff. Spacious rooms. Great location.

Prós: Good but need some renovations.

Contras: Old furniture and two single beds instead of double bed

Prós: Good variety.

Contras: Missing fresh orange juice

Prós: Staff was just amazing, young guy at the counter moved his car and gave me his parking spot as I got there around 11 and did not want me to drive to the parking lot, was with a sleeping kid, great location will be back

Prós: The view from our room across the ocean was great. We arrived two weeks before the main tourist season and so our experienced was very pleasurable.

Contras: You had to book any spa treatments up front so if you are only staying for one night, chances are slim. You would have to pre-arrange this before arriving.

Prós: Everything was perfect. Gil Machado and Lourdes - thank you very much for your support during our vacation!

Contras: Breakfast could have been better - everyday we had exactly the same food. Maybe more fruits and fresh vegetables.

Prós: Literally nothing good to report apart the friendly stuff.

Contras: Its a scam. The pictures you see in the advertisment have nothing to do with the actual „Superior“ bungalow. It was so depressive inside the bungalow with furniture older than 30 years and so used like in a jail, the broken walls. But the garden was even more depressive - dead plants all over. I am planning to open a dispute against this hotel.

Prós: Cleanness, happy personality employers. Lovely position with great views.

Contras: Hilly walk back to the hotel from the beech & town.

Prós: Great villa which had great facilities and was very clean

Prós: The pool outside and the area

Contras: The rooms..

Prós: Excellent location. Facilities were excellent.

Contras: I would recommend a care package for pre purchase as Villa has nothing and you are not told much about the area. Or send an email pre vacation with recommendations.

Prós: Not alot

Contras: Staff weren’t helpful at all! The alarm kept going off and when we called the reception desk; they were closed. Called security and the guy that picked up wasn’t helpful. Emailed for early check in and late check out but even though we were told that it was fine; that wasn’t the case when we got there.

Prós: The staff were really polite and friendly. The events and pool was nice.

Contras: The room had a bad smell that i had to have the windows always open

Prós: It had a nice view and the pools was nice as well

Contras: We found a cockroach on our first night. The reception closes so early we had to sleep outside as we mistakenly looked our keys in our apartment . The staff was soo horrible to us during check-in and bother-line rude. I assumed it was the language barrier but I was stood there when he treated the next guests with much more respect although they spoke English just like us.

Prós: Friendly helpful staff, easy check in, good facilities with a well stocked mini market shop with fresh pastries. Pool area was great and resort is a short pleasant walk to town. Air con was very effective at night. The resort is also only 15 minutes from Lagoa where there is a great water park and also 25 minutes from the historical town of Silves.

Prós: We loved the facilities and friendly atmosphere

Contras: The bungalow we had was very clean And quite sufficient for purpose, but it was quite dated l. One of the pools was out of action for 4+ days.

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: Location

Contras: No Wifi in room, and limited elsewhere in hotel No pleasant hotel bar

Prós: Every aspect brilliant

Contras: Wi fi

Prós: Location brilliant Breakfast lovely Able to get sunbeds at anytime of the day Bar staff really friendly Reception area beautifully decorated

Contras: Pool could have been warmer Corridors need repainting - not orange and green

Prós: Good location close to town; nice staff; nice room with good shower

Contras: The early morning tree surgery around the pool was noisy, otherwise all good

Prós: The location is very good

Contras: WiFi doesn't work at all. One of the two elevators was permanently out of order, there is no kettle tea/coffee in the room and the bed was not comfortable.

Prós: Cot bed was arranged for our baby. Bar staff very helpful.

Contras: No option to call reception. No room service. Front reception staff could have been a little bit more proactive.

Prós: Location. Pay on arrival.

Contras: Bar service slow.

Prós: I liked how comfortable and convenient the hotel was to the bars and restaurants in Carvoiero and the hotel offered free parking. The room had a balcony with a view of the ocean and a pool with a swim up bar.

Contras: Fresh squeezed juice could have been provided at breakfast along with a more expansive assortment of fresh fruit. Additionally, more and diverse food options could have been available on the breakfast buffet.

Prós: We had a fantastic stay and really appreciated the stylish makeover and redecoration of the communal areas. It was very clean.

Contras: The wifi was very poor. You constantly had to log in again. Sorting this out would have got a higher rating from me. Also the drinks at breakfast were salty.

Prós: Amenities were good - staff pleasant and helpful

Prós: A/C did not work in three of the rooms. When we reported the issue to management, they kept saying that parts were broken and couldn't be fixed until the next day. We spent two days without A/C, and management refused to provide any fans. Even when we spoke with the manager, his response was that he's not working and would not address the problem until the next day. We canceled our booking and returned to Lisbon early. Also, the place is crawling with ants. Definitely do not recommend. Splurge and find better accommodations near the beach.

Prós: Great fun village, beautiful area, friendly staff, nice room

Contras: The walls are very tiny, and the neigbours are very loud, tv signals are weak, no internet

Prós: Huge, nice and comfortable!

Prós: The AC was good and the apartment was a great size

Contras: There were a lot of ants running around and the hot water wasn't always hot (but I was usually the last one to shower so maybe that's why)

Prós: Such a lovely place close to the center of carvoeiro. massive pool with bar and eating facility. clean . tidy and well manicured.

Contras: nothing

Prós: The location was a close drive to the beach and main center and grocery store.

Contras: The AC in the main living area did not worked well at all. Our kids had to sleep in our bedroom. There was a bad smell, probably outside sewer, coming from the bathroom toilet area.

Prós: Great location. Very close to all beaches and the city of Carvoeiro.

Contras: Cold swimming pool and weak Wi-Fi on rooms.

Prós: Swimming pool, swimming area, personnel was really nice.

Contras: Bed where not so comfortable

Prós: the estate grounds

Contras: old rack for drying clothes. not enough sunbeds at the pool. the booking.com description mentioned a dishwasher. there was none.
