Top Vale do Garrão Hotel Reviews

Cerro Mar Atlantico & Cerro Mar Garden

8/10 Good

"Really lovely hotel. Split across two sides of the road in a quiet area but still only a short walk to the main old town square and the beach. That walk is down and up a million steps though it was a killer but the hotel does offer a free shuttle service. Everywhere was nice and clean, apartment was huge and the breakfast was lovely. There were three outdoor pools that we counted but the beds are taken pretty swiftly, two are in the apartments so feel more like your own smaller private pool area. Overall we had a lovely few nights here!"

PortoBay Blue Ocean

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really lovely and relaxing stay here. The hotel is very well managed and felt calm and civilised with a nice mix of nationalities. The size, proportions, facilities and food were all generous and the staff so sweet. We had never done a resort holiday as a family before, but felt we lucked out in discovering this hotel. We all had a wonderful time!"

Aqua Pedra dos Bicos Design Beach Hotel - Adults Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was amazing. Rooms were very clean, modern and spacious. We were upgraded from a street view to a pool view which was an unexpected perk! All staff were polite and happy to help. The range of food for breakfast was great from fruit, to full english, via ham and cheese, cereal and pastries. All of good quality. The pool was good but can get quite busy at times, which is to be expected in the summer. "

Hotel 3K Faro Aeroporto

8/10 Good

"A great place to stay if you have a late flight in or an early flight out. The bar doesn’t sell alcohol after 22:00 which was a shame so we couldn’t have a glass of wine when we arrived. The rooms are basic but clean. They’re designed for a short stop over. Pingo Doce supermarket is a short walk for breakfast or you can have breakfast in the hotel for 12€ pp. Overall a good stay."

The Westin Salgados Beach Resort, Algarve

10/10 Excellent

"Really classy and calm, a resort for people who dont want the hustle and bustle of all inclusives. Excellent food, healthy and plenty of choice for vegetarians too. Love the proximity to the beach. We stayed in a 3 bedroom suite and the living area and kitchen were so useful. Highly recommend, we will definitely come back. Our group consisted of my parents in their 70's and my teenage children."
