Alcoutim Holiday Rentals

"It was unfortunate that there was road construction at the time of our stay 10 /13-10 / 20. However, with the windows closed and our air conditioner on we slept well. Staff friendly and helpful,( shout out to Mario ) Very reasonably priced "

"There's a welcome drink at check in, which is a nice touch. Decent size room with a good size south facing balcony (worth the extra cost). Spacious and clean bathroom. Pool clean but totally very warm in October, despite the sunny weather. Plenty of sun loungers available. Pool access is through the gym though which is rather strange, or via reception on the floor above. The indoor pool is very small, short and narrow, ok to lounge about in, but you can't really swim. There is a sauna and steam room too, but these are also quite small. One annoying feature is that pool towels are only available at reception for a €10 deposit, annoying if you arrive at the spa and then have to go back up to reception on the floor above to get a towel. I don't know why this couldn't be done in the spa itself. Good choice at breakfast, especially the hot food selection, but the pastries are a poor, and not very well displayed, just thrown onto a plate. The dining room is also quite noisy being a hard floor, with chairs being moved etc. Piano player during breakfast is a nice touch, as is the sparkling wine. The roof bar is a great place in the evening, often with live music, food and snacks available too. During our stay one of the lifts was out of service for 5 days, meaning there was always a long wait. All in all, a good hotel with great facilities and also only 5 minutes walk to the town centre."

"The stay was amazing! Joana at the front desk was super helpful. Ana at the spa gave an amazing massage. The property is beautiful and very clean. The room was spacious and was very comfortable."

"It’s always nice to stop there "

"Beautiful room with warmth and charm great service, wish there was a way to drive up to drop off your luggage. "

"Breakfast lovely. Spa wasn't available "

"We enjoyed our 3-night stay at the resort. The check-in was seamless and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend renting a vehicle, as the resort is quite aways from dining (other than resort options). Parking in the outside parking lot was free, as well as street parking. Parking underground was 12 euros per night. In October, we had no trouble finding a spot outside. The room was in the smaller side, but neat, clean and comfortable. Yes, there were a few ants in the bathroom, but it was understandable given the somewhat remote location close to nature. I would recommend bringing insect repellant, even in October, if you plan to eat outside in the evenings. The breakfasts were pretty good, with lots of options. We had the dinner buffet the first night for 29 euros per person - but for every other lunch and dinner, we went into Tavira or Faro. There were much better options with 4.8/5.0 reviews on google that were tastier and less expensive. If you have a choice, eat outside the resort. That being said, we would definitely stay here again. We did the yoga and the paddle boarding and enjoyed both activities. The yoga was very basic and certainly no comparison to yoga in any major North American city, but the beach was lovely. The paddleboards were the inflatable kind but I got the opportunity to work on my balance and their drag made sure I got a workout in. The resort is comparable to a 4.5 star resort in Mexico."

"We loved the restoration of the old existing structure alongside the stunning extension to the rear. From entering the hotel there is a true welcoming check in. The decor is exquisite and provides a serene ambience. Staff are very helpful and respectful to all our requests. The gardens and the pot plants throughout the exterior of the hotel are calming to the mind. The therapist Christina in the wellness centre was excellent and provided me with a very positive experience at the Luma Wellness Centre. The housekeeping staff were very attentive and our room and terrace were immaculately clean to a high standard. We loved the pool/beach bag provided and the coffee maker in the room. Breakfast was to a high standard and we loved the menu options served to the table. We loved the food in the restaurant,its presentation and the staff and manager’s attentiveness during our dining experience."

"We appreciated everything about the Ozadi - from arrival to departure!"
