Dona Filipa Hotel

Best food so far we tried all the top dogs this one is under the radar Kamala restaurant in hotel by the pool is a must and very competitive absolutely brilliant

This is my third stay at this hotel and I can highly recommend it. We had an initial problem with our room when we arrived thanks to the hard work of the recption staff this was sorted finding us an alternative room very quickly. A big thank you to Jennifer. All the staff are friendly and nothing is to much trouble. I smashed a glass of wine in our room and housekeeping responded within 10 minutes. A big thank you to Lanca and Raquel in the resturant who made our dinning truely memorable

Have to say staff were outstanding and the food only reason I didn't give five stars is there pool was out of action the whole holiday and the only thing we had wanted in a holiday was to relax by the pool They gave a alternative which is like a ice bucket challenge ruined the holiday I have to say But hotel food and staff were lovely

Beautiful hotel - we have one of the renovated room and it’s spacious and well appointed, with good amenities. It was advertised that the pool is heated year round - but it’s not. It was one of the feature I looked forward to so very disappointed. The lounge bar is supposedly famous for its cocktail. It is most definitely true. But have dinner first before coming here as the food is absolutely terrible. The bluefish bites were not fresh and the chicken club sandwich has no chicken in it. The package we booked includes breakfast and it was a delight every morning looking out to the amazing vista while enjoying a hearty breakfast.

Very good hotel the staff are excellent the breakfast are very good, we had a couple meals in hotel very reasonable priced and good quality.

We stayed in a Premium Room with Golf/Sea view, that had a massive and very comfortable bed and pillows. Room had everything you would expect for a 5 star hotel (including the best robes we've ever had). Bathroom had a separate bath and rainfall shower. Housekeeping were brilliant, towels being refreshed after their evening usage during the nightly turndown service. Breakfast was superb, good choice of everything with eggs cooked to order and a choice of bacon styles as well as good fruits and nut selection plus the normal pastries (including of course Pastel De Nata), cereals and cold meats/cheeses and much more. Hotel bar also a good place to spend time (and with competitively priced Portuguese beer). Pool area also done very well with well maintained beds and mattresses with pillows, but be warned the pool is not heated so a little bracing during our late April stay and the pool bar food offerings are a little limited.

Hotel is in a great location and nice outdoor space (if you like terrace not garden) and has very nice staff. However the decor is very dated and in need of modernisation to meet the 5 star standard it claims. The bathroom in particular was from the eighties and room had no modern amenities such as latest power points

A beautiful hotel the perfect stay. We were only here for a very short trip in between work commitments. The staff were very friendly, the hotel was extremely clean, our room was lovely over looking the golf course but we could also see the sea. The breakfast was perfect everything from fruit & Yoghurt to eggs cooked anyway, a full cooked breakfast and pastries. Bar/snack menu also great. We shall definitely return but next time for longer.

Stunning ocean and golf course views, walkable to many nearby beachfront shops and locations. Beautiful area of the Algarve.
