Hotel Colina Dos Mouros ★★★

"There was a storm at the time - Leonardo and Marta were there. They told me that the internet and internal phones were down. I had to use my cell phone to contact reception. In the room, the internal phone didn't mention the reception contact number, which I believe is mandatory. I expected fruit and water in the room as a welcome gift - nothing. I asked for an upgrade - to change the room from land view to river view - and they refused. Breakfast improved since the last time I was there."

Casa de Sada Algarve Beach Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton ★★★★★

"A pleasant surprise on this trip—it's beautiful! Newly opened this year, the hotel is right on the beach. It's a small town, neither in Albufeira nor Lagoa. But it's not far by car. It's not very convenient without a car."

Silves History Guest House ★★★

Hotel de Charme Capela Das Artes ★★★

"Charming hotel in a lovely spot in the Algarve, perfect for relaxing. Beautiful infinity pool, made us want to spend most of our time there. Will return for sure."

PeraLux ★★

"The hotel was very comfortable and the hotel was very comfortable and the hotel was very comfortable."

Amendoeira Golf Resort ★★★★

"My wife and I went here for a three night golfing break. We booked via a specialist golf holiday company upon their recommendation. This review will focus on four areas, namely: Check-in & Accommodation Food Faldo Course Christy O'Connor course Check-in & Accommodation: The greeting at reception was pleasant and we were given a 2 bed apartment when we had booked a 1 bed apartment. However they told us that the apartment was not ready as we were a couple of hours early. They then said that if we paid 10 euros/hour we could access the apartment early???? It's a barefaced contradiction but we paid 20 Euros as we just wanted to settle in. The apartment was lovely. Well appointed, spacious and comfortable. The views out of the rear patio were spectacular. However it was a long, long way from the clubhouse where we were going to take our breakfasts and evening meals. We actually walked to the clubhouse and it took 25 minutes. Not a journey you want before breakfast and certainly not one you would take in the dark given the numerous underfoot obstacles en-route. The resort did offer a complimentary shuttle service which sounds great but in practice is rather "hit and miss." The drivers do their best but with a single shuttle in service at any one time you may wait a while. Not ideal at all. Food: We opted for half board thus taking breakfast and dinner in the clubhouse. The clubhouse is light and airy and the staff mostly friendly. I say mostly because they do have "Breakfast buffet police" admonishing anyone who dares to take a banana out with them. Be warned! The food was pretty mediocre to be honest. The dinner menu looks OK but it wasn't particularly good. The fish dishes were acceptable but the steak and pork dishes were overcooked. The breakfast was a mixed bag. There was decent fruit juice, a very good fresh fruit platter and a good selection of cold meats and cheeses and bread. However there wasn't the option of "eggs to order" and the chafing dishes of scrambled eggs, beans, bacon, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms were lukewarm and rather unappetising. Faldo course: Easy check-in and buggy collection. Good practice facilities with the exception of the chipping area that consisted of rough the length of which was not found anywhere on the course itself. Challenging course with tees to suit most golfers. The bunkers were a mess though after the heavy rain the area had experienced the previous week. It wasn't worth raking them as many were just mud baths. I thought they should have made them all GUR to prevent further damage and speed up the round. The greens were very soft and receptive but unfortunately pockmarked with unrepaired pitch marks. It really annoys me that people don't repair pitch marks but unfortunately at holiday golf courses it seems to be a major issue. Another issue with this course is the fact that the rounds are so slow. The group ahead were continually searching for balls and eventually we had to endure a five hour plus r"

Vila Gale Nautico ★★★★

"I was excited when we first arrived as it looked lovely however there is so much room for improvement. Staff are not all the friendliest and some could do with customer service training. Was all inclusive but a few times at lunch and dinner we were not offered any drinks, we eventual found where they kept bottles of water so helped ourselves. They really need a bar area in the corner with a few designated staff and put water on the tables before opening the restaurant. Staff in the snack bar should be reminded about cleaning tables and keeping the water and coffee machine topped up. I did feel sometimes if we had been Portugese it would have been a different story. Rooms are nice but not cleaned until nearly 5pm, so if you want to relax before dinner you need to wait for a bit! All in all a mixed review, but we won't return to this hotel."

Riad'a Praia ★★★

Vale Fuzeiros Nature Guest House ★★★★

"Loved this quaint mountain guest house! The pool was very relaxing, the dinner delicious and home cooked and Daniel our host was wonderful & friendly! Rooms were clean and comfortable. I’d highly recommend! We stopped here in the middle of a 6 day bike ride and really enjoyed!"
