Loulé

"Para o preço que se paga, o alojamento é aceitável. O local estava limpo, tem ar condicionado e o banho quente. Mas o alojamento é antigo e falta manutenção. A maçaneta da porta quase caindo e a porta da casa de banho difícil de fechar. Além disso, falta um abajur ou outra luminária, pois tem somente uma e ilumina mal. O atendimento é razoável, pois tive que insistir para receber o código. Mas é bem localizado, com muitos mercados próximo e perto do centro de Almancil."

Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Falésia Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were wonderful, room was immaculate, breakfast was delicious, location was amazing !!!"

Pine Cliffs Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"The garden suites are way more spacious than they appear online. We stayed for 10 days and were extremely comfortable! We had everything we needed in the kitchen; it was very well equipped. The housekeeping team kept it looking spotless. The food at the various restaurants was mostly excellent; service can be pretty slow and the food is very pricey. But that was one of the benefits of staying in the suites; you had the option of cooking at home. The pools and beach are lovely. We never had issues finding chairs to sit in (and we were there during summer holidays). The kids club was fantastic; my eldest really loved it and would’ve happily gone everyday. Overall it was a wonderful trip and I would definitely go back."

Vilamoura Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, quiet area, safe, close to Pinhal golf course, parking, staff was helpful. Breakfast buffet was good with many options"

Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing grounds, amenities, beach, and restaurants."

Aquashow Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall, this is a good hotel with excellent facilities, especially the water park, which is the highlight of the resort. There are a few areas that could be improved. The breakfast is very repetitive, with almost the same selection every day. Reception staff are polite, but there are not enough of them during busy periods, resulting in long waits. Housekeeping could also be more thorough, as the beds are not always cleaned or made to a good standard. Unfortunately, a power bank was reported missing from one of our rooms during the stay, which was disappointing. The staff could also be more friendly and welcoming. Overall, the hotel offers a pleasant stay, but improvements in these areas would make the experience even better."

The Patio Suite Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly and always with a smile. Great place for family with children. A big variety of food at breakfast and very clean. Looking forward for next year."

Pestana Vila Sol Golf - Vilamoura

10/10 Excellent
