Top 5-Star Hotels in Carvoeiro

We had an incredible time at this beautiful resort. We travelled as a family with two children. We enjoyed the spacious 2-bedroom villa with very comfy beds! We had self catering and enjoyed some meals at the restaurant (tip is to buy bottles of win instead of per glass!). We made use of the swimming pools which were especially great when the sunset came in. We also enjoyed the small gym and sauna/steam room and the padel tennis for free. The staff were very friendly, we like the eco friendly approach which allowed to reduce the cleaning service in return for some vouchers to spend at the bar/restaurant. We had a rental car and went to some amazing beaches that were all within close reach. Another recommendation are the water parks (slide and splash is worth a visit).

Context - 12 night stay, family with 2 young teenagers in August We stayed in Villa 100, a 'luxury 2 bed townhouse' Accomodation: Great accomodation, some maintenance required, but not important. The accomodation was spacious, clean, beds were really comfortable, showers were great, loads of kitchen storage, sofas really comfortable, effective air com, kitchen with 4 burner hob, ovem, microwave, toaster, cofferr machine, washing machine and dryer. 5 star comfort, and nearly 5 star appearance (just a few maintenence piece needed ie chips in kitchen cupbaords, locks of bathrooms not aligned etc) Outside the accomodation we had 2 loungers, 4 would have been better, a table with 4 chairs with a few of a small pool. The pool near our villa was excellent. We generally were able to get this to ourselves at some points in the day, and there were always loungers available. This isn't the main pool. The main pool is a couple of minutes walk from the villa, and again excellent. it was quiet, but still an atmosphere, no problem getting loungers. On one day we had to hunt down an umbrella. There is also an indoor pool, that opens out to a terrace. Didn't think we'd use it, but it was really nice, and we used that as well. Useful when it's windy and the outdoor pool got chilly. The spa was good. My wife had a treatment that she said was very good. there was a steam room and sauna, both good, a small gym (didn't use). Jacuzzi was open, but didn't seem to work ie no bubbles! Outdoor pool bar was closed for refurb, but an indoor alternative was available. Restaurant was probably the biggest disappointment. We were self catering, used it once, and didn't return. The food was ok, but comparing it to the external restaurants we ate at, was nowhere near as good and significantly more expensive. Service in the restaurant was more comparable to a 3 star hotel. What was particularly disappointing was that 'portuguese' night was just a subset of the standard A la carte menu. Housekeeping were variable, ranging from spectacular to average! Some days they even unloaded our dishwasher which was a lovely touch. Other days they took away hand towels and didn't replace them. Resort did not have much to do for teenagers, other than making their own entertainment in the pool, but for us that was fine. Overall, a hotel is pleasant, lovely pool areas and accommodation is extremely comfortable but let down by the restaurant. Outside of the resort, in Carvoeiro we ate at 'Elliots' in the centre, and 'Recanto da Boavista' (2 minute walk from the hotel). Both of these restaurants were excellent, and catered well for my son who has a milk allergy. The other place we went to in Carvoeiro was Sandoskas. Again really good, but more cheap and cheerful. Whilst their bread contains milk, their baguettes don't, so hot dogs with baguette is a milk free option! The ice cream shop opposite also does a good range of vegan ice creams. Supermarkets are plen

This is a beautiful refurbished hotel . Rooms great size , and we had a terrace balcony. Great bathroom. Breakfast is exceptional with plenty of choice and all very fresh .. choice of fruit great for me and my husband was happy with choice of eggs and omelettes Service was excellent at breakfast and some great staff ! The pool area was lovely but on the 3 days we spent there from 10.30 to 3.30 there were at least 8 sun beds with towels and bags on them that no one ever used .. please look at having staff remove this items after a certain amount of time as we would have loved to have used the soft comfy bed at the pool My husband used the gym but was disappointed that there was no water and nothing to clean or sanitise the gym equipment after use … some sanitising wipes would have been great . A manager actually came down to look as another guest complained but he looked around and left ! We would def return to this hotel as it’s in a fab location , breakfast excellent , beautiful views , bar area lovely . Peaceful and quiet and surrounding areas lovely with plenty of great restaurants

Go to the Benagil cave, about 10 minutes by car. The whole hotel is similar to a small resort. It was a bit similar to the one I stayed in Las Vegas. The living room is very large. I did not try the restaurant and the pool. The front desk was very welcoming and cost-effective.

We've just returned from a 10 night stay at Placid Village and loved it. We had a 2 bed apartment and we've never had such a spacious apartment, it was huge! It was a bonus to have a second toilet with a washing machine and a dishwasher in the kitchen. The A/C worked really well and the kitchen was well equipped. The pool area is small but even though it was the summer holidays there was never a mad dash for sun beds in the morning, which was great. The complex has a little snack bar for drinks and ice creams during the day. And the reception staff were friendly and informative. It is a bit of a walk into the centre (20 mins) but we enjoy walking so it wasn't an issue. Don't let the walk put you off as Ubers and taxis are really reasonable. We used an Uber to get to the Intermarche supermarket and it was less than €4. There's a decent mini market about 5-10 mins away from the complex. We loved the resort of Carvoeiro, our 1st visit. We ate in lots of lovely restaurants, Bella Rosa, Xamor and the tapas place near the beach, to name a few. The sky bar at the Tivoli and sky bar 360 near the beach are great for a sundowner cocktail. And there's a lovely little bakery (turn left instead of right on the road at the bottom of the big hill). Worth visiting for breakfast. We walked to Algar Seco to see the cliffs/caves which are spectacular. We visited the Benagil caves and went kayaking. We also went to Ferragudo for the day, which was under €10 in an Uber. We had a fantastic holiday and we were really happy with everything about Placid Village.

An excellent location for a hotel, and now fully refurbished to a very nice 4 star hotel. We stayed here before the refurbishment, but now it has been done the hotel is so much more modern and ideal for visiting Carvoeiro. We stayed in a fantastic sea view room at the front, which was perfect for sitting on the balcony, having a drink, reading or a book or playing cards together. The restaurant was closed when we were there, so we were given breakfast vouchers to use at Jan or central. Both of these restaurants offered great breakfasts that were better than the buffet you used to get at the hotel! The addition of the rooftop bar is incredible, fantastic views, nice cocktails and great staff too. This hotel has always been perfectly located, but not it has been properly upgraded it is the ideal hotel in Carvoeiro!
