Top Areias de Sao Joao Hotel Reviews

Vila Petra

Albufeira

10/10 Excellent

We stayed for 7 days at Vila Petra in January and overall it was a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is located at the less busy end of the Strip and the surroundings are quiet and pleasant. The check-in was effortless and quick, and the email communication before arrival was helpful. The room was good in size with two single beds put together, a sofa (which could be changed to a sofa bed), a dining table with chairs, a separate well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The covered balcony looked over...

Falésia Hotel - Adults Only

Albufeira

10/10 Excellent

Hotel was clean, spacious and very well run. Staff were friendly and very helpful at all times, the junior suite was spacious and well appointed. Arriving late and missing the evening meal the staff ensured that a meal was sent to the room just after our arrival including a half bottle of wine and a plate of fresh fruit. Everyday a litre of bottled water was placed in the room at no extra charge. The outdoor pool was very clean and maintained but not heated, it takes a brave soul to swim...

Apartamentos Soldoiro

Albufeira

10/10 Excellent

I don't usually write reviews, but this time I think it's worth it. The location is perfect - 3min. to the beach! The staff were so understanding, friendly and helpful from the second we arrived till the moment we left. The room itself was simply a dream come true - I just wish I could have stayed there permanently. It's definitely not for people looking for 5-star luxury resort, but if you're looking for something down-to-earth and homey - Apartamentos Soldoiro can offer you just that! I...

Vilamoura Garden Hotel

Vilamoura

10/10 Excellent

Very high standard of service. Simple but high quality rooms with extremely comfortable 5 star standard beds, pillows and sheets. The restaurant is surprisingly good and they cater for gluten intolerances. You can use the beach shuttle from the Hilton across the road to the gorgeous Falesia beach with beach club. As a single traveller I felt very welcome here and liked the quiet pool area. Reception staff are charming and helpful. Very good value and well located hotel.

10/10 Excellent

I travelled to Vilamoura with my mother and my three children. We occupied two twin rooms during our four night stay. The rooms were very clean and spacious. It surpassed all of our expectations I love the shower and deep bath tub . The staff were extremely kind, courteous and professional and went the extra mi. The view from the third floor was great as you could see above and beyond the landscape. The balcony was very very large. The walk to the beach as pleasant as there is a leafy garden...

Hotel Baia Grande

Albufeira

10/10 Excellent

After much searching for a hotel that fit the bill along the coastline and around Albufeira, we settled on the Baia Grande. I must say for the week we wanted, it was also the cheapest ! Having looked around the town after we had I checked in, all I can say is that I am glad we stayed here rather than noisy crowded rooms or apartments in close vicinity to pub after pub and the crowds. I can't understand the people who marked the place down because the entertainment was more suited to older...

A water park with multiple water slides, a swimming pool, and a hotel named 'Equestrian Park Hotel'.

Aquashow Park Hotel

Loulé

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was comfortable, clean and bright. It's main 'attraction' for me was not the waterpark, (which is included in the price and is excellent), but it's staff. They rescued us by sending my daughter's mobile phone in a taxi, to the airport when we realised two hours before departure that she had unfortunately left it in the room! Food at the hotel was reasonable and there were local restaurants a short stroll away from the hotel. Two drawbacks are that there is no free wifi in the rooms...

Amazing resort with even better staff, made me and my wife feel extremely well looked after. Receptionist able to deal with any requests and always with a smile no problem to big or small for the VDL staff. The resort it's self is beautiful with only a short walk to the beach where an abundance of fabulous restaurants and the resorts pool facilities. Evening time was even better with live music playing every night and wonderful food. The internal resort shuttle one of the best ways to get around...

A restaurant with tables set for dining, a pool area visible through large windows, and greenery hanging from the ceiling.

AP Oriental Beach - Adults Friendly

Praia da Rocha

10/10 Excellent

We booked the hotel as it was on the beach and had nearby restaurants. However, the food in the hotel was so good we soon upgraded to half board. Check in was easy and Ana on the front desk was great and helped us with booking tours as her local knowledge and contacts were invaluable. We chose a room with a sea view as it is a great view of the beach. Overall a great experience and no hesitation in going back.

Apartamentos Jardins da Rocha

Praia da Rocha

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed staying in an apartment on the 24th floor with amazing ocean views. Very clean and had everything we needed to cook meals in - home away from home style. Surprisingly, considering the hotel was fully booked with families (July booking) it was very quiet and calm. The housekeeping staff and receptionists were very helpful. The hotel is literally minutes to walk from the beach, and there are several mini supermarkets to buy supplies from at the door of the hotel. We didn't use the pool...
