Top Sotavento Hotel Reviews
Roots Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location and very clean facilities. We only stayed one night after a flight but it had underground parking (suitable for smaller cars only) and we both slept well."
Vale do Lobo Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The reception staff were amazing - they were so attentive and caring. The facilities at the accommodation were perfect . The shuttle bus was a brilliant facility and we loved the beach club. Fantastic spot with great restaurants- close to airport and Quinta de Lago. We will be back!!"
AP Cabanas Beach & Nature - Adults Friendly
8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel but I can really see why it’s a 4 star! I was by myself and found staff to be very nice and polite. The pinch points were the bar - just hire more staff. There was always a queue. I didn’t go all inclusive but food and drinks I thought was reasonably well ish priced. The other frustration was I got put in a room in the corner which was a bit sad. I understand it was their basic room but it just lacked the luxury a bit. The local area and cute shops are worth the short walk into town - would highly recommend Botega Italiana - lots of veggie options. Lovely hotel but just lacks a tiny bit of refinement."
Aquashow Park Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"We had so much fun! The water park was amazing, the hotel pool was fun, and they had a DJ. We loved the breakfast, and the activity room. The whole stay was perfect for our family."
Alameda Exclusive House
6/10 Okay
"The location was good. The listing says " family friendly, a frig and microwave in every room." Not the case at all. The front desk staff were rude. We asked if the maid comes daily, and they said "yes." After 3 days with no maid, they said that you need to put the sign on the door even though we had asked for clean towels and a room clean the day before. When we asked for clean towel, we were told that we could rent a towel."
Pure Formosa Concept Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Our superior room with a balcony was wonderfully comfortable. The small fridges in these rooms is a game changer as the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant ( although it does offer a cold buffet for breakfast) so stocking up with snacks for lunch etc is important. Olhao is a charming working fishing port with some good restaurants. These range from tapas to local vernacular through to higher end gourmet offerings. The front desk staff are good at recommending in form restaurants. The rooftop pool & bar is a great feature of this hotel. It affords panoramic views of the town and the islands of Armona ( great beaches a 10 minute ferry ride away) & Cultara. This is our fourth visit so we like it!"
Real Marina Hotel & Spa
8/10 Good
"Breakfast is good. Bar staffs are excellent. Front desk staffs are not very professional. Outdoor pool is very good."
Crowne Plaza Vilamoura - Algarve by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"The staff were wonderful at the hotel including the bellman, restaurant staff, spa and front desk. Our junior suite was lovely with a wonderful beach facing balcony."
Dom Jose Beach Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel with wonderful views and a lovely pool, many different restaurants just steps from the hotel. The hotel facilities were so nice that having a drink in the hotel with the spectacular views was a great plan too! Everyone was super lovely specially the bar staff and cleaners. I would love to come back!"
