Luxe ervaring

“Mooie locatie, direct aan het strand, zeer gedienstig personeel en luxe ervaring.”
Worth knowing: Het restaurant met Michelin ster was prima maar met € 650 voor 2 personen wel teveel aan de prijs voor wat ij gewend zijn bij vergelijkbare restaurants in Zuid-Europa.

“A wonderful stay to celebrate my birthday. Our room was light and spacious with a great view of the beach and sea. We ate in the Vista restaurant and it was quite exceptional, with so many different tastes from the locally sourced produce. And the staff were without exception attentive and courteous, without ever being intrusive. Of course, this all comes at a price. But, if your budget allows, then I cannot recommend the hotel strongly enough”
Worth knowing: Only staying one night...
Amazing!!! It’s a jewel in the Algarve coast

“The property is amazing….the attention to detail is superb!! The staff is the best, so accommodating ! Rooms were immaculate . But I think the best part of our stay was lunch at BELA and dinner at Vista. To have an amazing stay and also the best food is a win!!”
Quite disappointing

“Staff and service.”
Worth knowing: Unfortunately, the property is surrounded by Portimão’s very tall buildings. From the photos shown before booking, it looks as though it is located on a fairly secluded beach, whereas in reality it is right in the middle of town, surrounded by tall and rather unattractive buildings. The villa itself could be very beautiful, but the rooms, and especially the bathrooms, are definitely in need of renovation. In my opinion, it is certainly not up to the standard of the other Relais & Châteaux properties I have stayed at. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the staff. The only disappointing detail was that, the day after check-out, I received an email informing me that I had been charged €6 for some crisps that were in the room, despite there being no price list provided. It is obviously not about the six euros, but after spending €2,000 for two rooms for just one night, it did make me smile. Overall, this is definitely not a hotel I would recommend to guests who are accustomed to the standards of Relais & Châteaux properties.
