Hotel Portugal Boutique: Amazing service and beautiful hotel!

I loved this hotel. Within walking distance of everything, great food, shopping and sights. Staff was always willing to help with reservations and restaurant recommendations. The room was beautuful. The staff also helped us coordinate the covid tests we needed to return to canada.

Jupiter Algarve Hotel: Great Location

We spent three weeks at Hotel Jupiter and don't have any complaints.The staff were friendly and helpful.Our room was spotless and made up every day.Breakfast had so many choices we were never bored.Orange juice is fresh squeezed.Situated in the very centre of Praia Da Rocha the beach is directly across the street and down a flight of stairs.There is a boardwalk the entire length of the beautiful beach.

Hotel Mundial: Very nice hotel...would highly recommend!

This is an older, but nicely refurbished hotel, very centrally located with a fabulous approach to customer service. The restaurant and front desk staff speak English very well. The common areas of the hotel are well presented, clean and welcoming. The standard room is clean and spacious enough to make your stay comfortable...nothing extravagant just the essentials. The beds are rather hard and the pillows quite uncomfortable but like anything else, you get used to them after awhile.  [... read more]Rather disappointing for the North American traveler is the absence of a coffee maker and the fridge is used as a mini bar...quite impractical. Bringing a travel kettle is very worth while if you enjoy a hot beverage in your room. The sometimes included (depending on your package) breakfast is a large buffet with ample variety. The only problem is that they don't change the contents of the buffet offering even once a week which makes breakfast rather boring after a couple of days. The hot food, especially the scrambled eggs are horrible...definitely to be avoided. If you stick to the cold food selection you will be better off and happier if you stay is longer than three days. Dinner in the hotel is pricey but worth it if you don't want to venture far. The food is truly excellent, well presented and served. The "tourist menu" is a three course special that starts are 19E...very expensive. However, there are lots of well priced restaurants within a couple of minute walking distance from the hotel. The rooftop bar offers a fabulous view of the city but everything is overly expensive. You are definitely paying for the view. Nice to go up and have a look but only worthwhile if the view means something to your experience. The front desk is an absolute delight. You have access to their telephone operator who can make local phone calls to verify tours on your behalf and acts as a message service for anyone trying to reach you. Then there is an information area of the main reception with the sole purpose of answering your questions about where to go, what to do, how to get there etc and even offer for sale pre-loaded transportation passes upon request. A one day transit pass is 9E. (Look into getting a Lisboa card...not available through the hotel...for excellent value). The hotel also offer local maps, transit information...a true wealth of knowledge. A visitor's dream!! Check-in and check-out was also easy and painless. Everyone was always very courteous and pleasant. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect...couldn't ask for anything better!! Overall, a fabulous experience at a wonderful, classic hotel. Highly recommended!!

Melia Lisboa Oriente: Excellent

I enjoyed my stay . Friendly courteous staff . Excellent meals , enormous buffet with variety. Clean room and the shuttle to the airport was so convenient. A tad bit pricey for one night stay but other then that it was all enjoyed.

Turim Terreiro Do Paco: Excellant value

Very nice hotel, well located with modern and well kept rooms. Don’t expect large rooms but who goes to Portugal to stay in the room. Perfectly located in the old town yet away from the bustle. Only drawback is the selection of tv channels. Wi available for free in rooms.

Pestana Alvor Praia: Excellent resort

The staff were wonderful. I had a plumbing issue with my room. They rectified by upgrading me to a more deluxe room. Staff even followed up to ensure I was pleased. Breakfast buffet was top notch. Piano player did a very good job.

Cerro Mar Garden: Out-dated

Use to be very good , now not so good , WiFi is only in lobby and is poor at best. room furniture is dated , TV is poor, channels out-dated unless you like "i dream of Genie" or Hogan's Heros . over and over again. phone calls are extremely expensive, .25 cents per second !!! hotel nickel and dime you to death for very little thing . example , must wear bathing cap for use of indoor pool, but charge you 10 euros to buy one that is worth maybe 1 euro , the happy hour was good then all of a s [... read more]udden they stopped it , ??

Luna Clube Oceano: Basic Apartment Hotel 3 star

The Apartment Hotel is situated between Old Town (some history and bars) and New Town (bars). About a 15-20 minute walk either way. 700 meters from the beach downhill. The complex is 3 star with 4/5 star staff who are helpful. The 5th floor ( top floor) is the only one with a good ocean view over the buildings in front. The units are the older style, basic furnishings and very basic kitchen ware. No wine glasses and very small coffee cups. Plates, Bowls, pots etc are fine. One sofa to sit in Liv [... read more]ing /dining room. The outer decks get larger as you down floors, however the lack of sun increases, and the view is lost. The studios are on the bottom floor. Large deck , but no sun and next to the pool. No dining except for a buffet breakfast @ 15.EU for two. Daily unit cleaning. That is a broom and damp mop, clean out the garbage, make the beds. Linen changes every 3rd day. The units are clean, just dated. It is at 3star as rated. Pool is not heated. Lots of parking for your car rental, which you should have, if touring the Algarve. Grocery stores are a 20-minute walk. 4EU taxi ride back. Some good restaurants from 5 to 15 minute walking . Mini mart located in the building and another one 50 meters away….Just in case. Stock is 2x grocery store price.

Luna Clube Oceano: Our resort was excellent

It was in the centre of a lot of attractions, the beach was very close, lots of restaurant were very handy and good Walking around was easy to a lot of fun attractions Hotel was clean. People were very pleasant and friendly .

Wine and Books By the Sea Algarve: Great resort

Perfect room kept exceptionally clean. Check in as well as out very smooth.Staff were wonderful and very professional. Philippine and Jerome gave us wonderful places to visit.. You have to rent a car with gps which they deliver right to hotel. The pools outside were too cool to swim. Lots of wonderful places to walk. The food was very very good for a buffet and different theme every night. Breakfast was amazing and the only negative was you have to buy bottled water at dinner at 3.50 euros.

Palacio Estoril Hotel: Excellent Resort

The Palácio Estoril is everything it’s motto says “Grand & Cozy”. The service from the reception to the cleaning staff are exceptional!! They could not do enough for us during our 8 day stay. We would definitely recommend the Palácio Estoril!!

Marina Club Lagos Resort: Comfortable Resort

First time in Portugal....Great location! Close to City Center, Shops, Supermarket and a variety of restaurants to entice your palette. Friendly and accommodating Staff. The one bedroom suite was very adequate, clean and comfortable with the kitchen addition it served the purpose if you did not want to go out and eat. The resort was well maintained.... very clean. They were doing minor repairs and maintenance while we were there. We would definitely stay here again!

Teatro Porto: Wonderful stay at Hotel Teatro Porto/Porto Bay

This was an amazing hotel. It was spotlessly clean and the staff were extremely courteous. The breakfast buffet was incredible with offerings to please anyone including smoked salmon, soft cheeses, mimosas, olives, bacon, eggs and lots of pastries. The location was very convenient; a block away from the train station and beside the theater.

H10 Duque de Loule: Elegant Hotel

The hotel was very elegant. The room we had was spacious and well arranged. Everyday the room was cleaned spotlessly. The staff very knowledgeable and courteous. They were also patient with us under trying circumstances.

Hotel Mundial: Great Location

Hotel was nice, check in and out was relatively quick and pain free. Tourism tax was 2€ per night paid at the end of the stay. Included continental breakfast which was alright (more selection if you get there before 9). Room was large, clean and in good condition. Had a great view of the Castle. Operable windows so you can enjoy Lisbon and the sounds but was very quiet with the windows shut. Bed was quite stiff but lots of pillows provided and was able to get a good rest. 5 piece washro [... read more]om. Shower seal leaked and they went to repair. No iron, maybe if i asked they would have provided one. Rooftop patio which had some nice views and was pretty busy. Pullout couch and a large bed were provided. Fantastic location being a short walk to all the wonderful areas of old Lisbon. Located directly beside the first stop for Tram 28 and the Metro (subway) red line. Would definitely stay there again. Great price.

Hotel Mundial: Hotel Mundial = Centre of transportation!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Mundial. The building itself is in the transportation hub of Lisbon; it is the perfect home base for easy travel around the city. There are tram stops right in front of the hotel, and the metro and Rossio train station are a five to ten minute walk (on flat ground) respectively. The water front (should you choose to walk) is a relatively easy fifteen to twenty minute walk. It cannot be underestimated how important it is to have a hotel with a good locatio [... read more]n. Our room was much larger than we expected - plenty of space (two large double beds). It also had a window facing São Jorge Castle and direct line of sight to one of the parade routes in the city. I also enjoyed the bathroom for the comfortable soaking tub/shower it provided. The staff were generally all very welcoming and pleasant (including the door man outside). Breakfast was included and was also a real treat. A selection of meats, breads, pastries, and fruit; as well as a delicious coffee machine which created tasty beverages such as espresso, coffee americano, cappuccino and macchiato. Unfortunately the rooftop patio was under construction during our stay - we did get to visit it once, and it provided amazing views of the city, however that was a bit disappointing. Further, if you were hoping for a pool at your hotel you will not find one here. Also try your best to avoid the tuk tuks that are right next to the hotel with the pushy sales crew that will try and sell you rides around the city - public transportation in Lisbon is very cheap and easy to use, so you don't need them (unless you want the experience). That being said, I would definitely recommend this hotel should you be travelling to Lisbon, especially if you plan to do a lot of sight seeing around the city.

Cerro Mar Garden: Beautiful Resort

The hotel was very nice and the apartments were spacious and well equipped. On the down side the beds were extremely hard and also there was no decent internet. The pool area was beautiful and location was great as it was right in old town.

Baia Grande: Lovely Resort

We booked a sea view room and were pleased with the view and the large room. The balcony was nicely sized for relaxing. The bed was a king made by putting two twin beds together. The room and bathroom were large and attractively decorated. The room was cleaned and tidied daily, although linens and towels were not changed unless requested for environmental reasons. The staff, was polite,spoke English very well and were helpful. I found the mattress too hard (arthritis) and they put a foam pad o [... read more]n my bed when I asked. There is a lounge with a reasonable menu for lunch/tea/ snacks that serves alcohol and breakfast and dinner were served buffet style. Breakfast was included in our package and was extensive. Dinner was good, for a buffet. Several nice restaurants within walking distance. Multitude of restaurants within 15 minute drive/taxi. Parking is free

Cerro Mar Garden: Very functional resort!

Enjoy my holiday at Cerro Mar Gardens. The units are comfortable and clean. Every unit has twin beds which means staying with a friend works well. The lobby was in a separate building from us and free wifi was only available there.

Hotel Mundial: Great choice!

I would highly recommend this hotel. Reasons I recommend: - staff super helpful - very central which made walking around easy - rooms are clean and comfortable; they accommodated all needs - the breakfast was also delicious.
