Excellent location in a charming village. The hotel is on the Main Street, steps from the beach. The tiles with various kings make an interesting history lesson of this property. Close to restaurants, shops, the beach, and the walk board. We had a room with a view, an added bonus. And the breakfast is also diverse and nutritious.

Perfect location within seconds from the sand. So many dining options around the hotel, even an ice cream shop in the lobby area! Only complaint was waiting a while for a receptionist when trying to check-out. But the rest of the stay staff/receptionist was available and helpful. Loved the air conditioning and remote with it for the hot climate here. Not too jazzed about the shower situation as our room had a glass “wall” that didn’t close the shower off so water got everywhere, water pressure and heated flooring was great though! Would definitely stay here again, I love Carvoeiro!

Love this town and hotel location

Catia at the front desk was amazing!!! After finally flying in and having an mis hap on the train that detoured us an extra 5 1/2 hours … finally getting to the hotel she saved us with parking. The hotel is in a perfect location close to shops and restaurants and steps from the beach. There is night live music but from our room 119 we didn’t hear anything. The utilities might be a little used but honestly for the price and location it is amazing. Id come back 10 times. So glad we stayed here instead of Lagos or Portimão which is way more of a city. Obrigata!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.s. the breakfast was amazing as well!

Stephanie

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The STAFF seemed like they didn't want to interact with us. At check in, we told the man at the front desk that we had a car. He said the parking lot was full and then stared at us without saying anything else. After a strangely long pause, we asked, "What now?" He gave us tentative information about on street parking, but didn't appear very confident in which areas were free nor for how long. He nor anyone else assisted us with our bags, even though there are about five steps to get into reception and an additional five off the elevator to our room, we are both women, and one of us was visibly pregnant. The same front desk staff at checked in, told my friend she would need to wait until the next morning to ask any more questions. Each time we interacted with front desk staff, they seemed either unsure of what they were doing or uninterested in helping us. The ROOM we received was NOT as pictured. We assume they've nicely fixed up one type of room to fix up for pictures and the rest are not nearly as nice. This was particularly the case with the bathroom, which had a tub/shower in which you had to hold on to the sink to get over the tall tub and through relatively small opening to get in/out. POOL hours are 10am - 6pm. However, when we arrived at 10:15, staff was dumping chemicals in and said that we couldn't get in for another hour. There is no lifeguard to duty, so we were confused by the limited hours. The LOCATION is absolutely perfect. Bottom line: Not worth the money.
