Zambujeira do Mar Beach

Loved every bit of this hotel! The staff were attentive and the whole resort was very clean. Will be back next year!

This was almost a 5 star review - only 1 issue let it down. First the positives: Great location close to the beach and beautiful views from the pool area ( Pool area service very helpful and attentive). Breakfast was excellent - huge choice to cater for everyone and friendly chef preparing omelettes etc to order. Stayed here about 2 years previously - but since then chef and evening menu at the Kamal (casual restaurant) has been completely transformed - food is now exceptionally good. Room had all the amenities you would expect and was kept very clean. Staff everywhere except reception were extremely helpful and friendly. I had however several issues with reception staff - which I think comes down to inadequate training and in a couple of cases poor English (given that over 90% of guests are from the UK, English language capability surely has to be a prerequisite for selection). Final small issue relates to the building itself - looking very tired in places with peeling paint/ plaster - I think this needs to be a priority for the off season.

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!!
