"Lovely hotel in need of refurbishment - which they are doing at end of 2026 season. Staff were helpful and friendly. Restaurant options were a bit limited."

"Amazing view from our balcony. There is a small town within walking distance from the hotel if you want other dining options. The hotel is right next to the trail as well."
EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel
"Rooms are nice and modern. Buffet breakfast is excellent."
Lagosmar Hotel
"Would recommend, excellent value for money..And a fantastic location."
Hotel Algarve Casino
"The best thing about this hotel is its location. Its a clean hotel with great staff. The beach is a long walk from the hotel but its beautiful. You do not need water shoes here. The beach is all smooth sand . There are numerous restaurants and shopping all within walking distance to the hotel as well as tours. So great location. I do recommend this hotel to future tourists. Only negative was the room we were assigned. Its on the left side of the front desk, very old rooms, large with large balcony. To access the room we had to go down some beautiful but deeply winding stairs. To go to breakfast we had another set of beautiful but very winding stairs. This area was not safe for seniors with those stairs, yet many seniors were assigned those rooms. I would recommend to the hotel not to put seniors in that area of their hotel."
PortoBay Blue Ocean
"Beautiful hotel, pool immaculate and rooms lovely. Cleaned rooms every day and all staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast was sumptuous,would highly recommend this hotel if you want a total relax. Sept was lovely time to go, high twenties and loads of sunbeds available."
