Quarteira hotellia

Plussat: Stayed just one night. A really lovely peaceful spot, we enjoyed just lazing in the garden by the pool. Had a lovely evening meal, my husband loved the wine cellar.

Plussat: The Staff is very friendly and kind.

Plussat: Honestly one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. The rooms are a generous size, the breakfast is delicious. While all these things are true it is really the people that makes this special. Miguel who owns the hotel with his family is a brilliant host we particularly enjoyed being shown around his wine cellar and our cooking lesson! Lucy is also absolutely brilliant and so kind I really enjoyed talking with her. All the staff were brilliant and gave us an excellent stay. The cherry on top was Paco the pug!

Miinukset: The only thing I would change is writing this review! I don’t want to give the secret away of how special this place is.

Plussat: The property was quite stunningly beautiful and our room was crisp and clean and wonderfully comfortable. The staff could not have been more kind or helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing at all

Plussat: Fantastic place for “escape from city “ break !

Plussat: Best stay in Portugal or Spain!

Plussat: Wow, staying here was the perfect end to our Portuguese road trip! Miguel and his lovely family did everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The hotel is set within a tranquil countryside location with modern and spacious rooms which were immaculate. Our 3 year old enjoyed exploring the organic fruit gardens and our teenager loved the pool. The hotel also has a restaurant, bar and wine cellar so it is perfect for those days when you don't want to venture out but still want to experience Portuguese culture. The roof terrace allows you to view Faro and surrounding countryside and at night, is was great for stargazing, my husband wished that he had his binoculars! All this and yet only 15 minutes drive to Faro - we will definitely visit this gem of a hotel again!

Plussat: The family atmosphere

Miinukset: This was our second visit and it was all good

Plussat: What a find! The hotel is beautiful; clean and modern with lovely traditional touches. Breakfast is a continental self-service buffet with plenty to eat with staff on hand to offer coffee and even made to order pancakes. Dinners are excellent, skilfully prepared with local produce. Location is a peaceful setting not far from Faro town, but what really makes it all work so well is Miguel and all the staff who work so hard and went the extra mile for my wife and I to make sure that everything went smoothly including bike hire and wine tasting. Nothing was too much trouble for them. As we had an early flight on the day of departure, a packed breakfast was prepared for us to take away. All in all,we had a great time and we will be back!

Miinukset: Nothing. It was all perfectly satisfactory.

Plussat: The luxury room. Good bed. Good breakfast with fresh juice.

Miinukset: The food was good but not much choice. The restaurant is not cosy, felt a little strange to sit there.

Plussat: The beach was a short walk through the beautiful vegetation of the hotel grounds, or the marina.. so no shortage of choice.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Lovely hotel, everywhere is very clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The grounds round the lake are lovely, with a boardwalk so you can walk through the grounds, also a short walk to the beach. Breakfast great, had a large choice, something for everyone. Room was a good size, clean and nicely decorated, good to have a balcony. Walking distance to the Marina which has loads of restaurants. We will be back!

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike.

Plussat: Great Thai restaurant with views over the beach

Plussat: the Halloween Buffet was amazing , the confectionary was superb, Very well done to the pastry chef , it was a feast to the senses, a real trea the food in the main buffet was ok, the Girls running the kids club were absolutely brillant , thank you

Plussat: Huoneisto erinomainen, tilaa runsaasti. Henkilökunta avulias ja ystävällinen. Runsas aamiainen. Kuljetukset hotellilta satamaan pelkkää plussaa

Plussat: For me the Staff made this a great stay

Miinukset: Could be better for family's with buggy

Miinukset: The sofa bed is horrible very uncomfortable. The indoor pool is very small and had no chairs inside and not very clean, people were coming in and out so it was always cold inside.

Plussat: No information beach club closed when booked this should be noted for October. No shop near to buy supplies for apartments 10-15 min walk per day. Pool bar rarely open only saw it once during the week there. Got a huge bite on face with swollen face for 5 days on awakening!

Miinukset: No entertainment. One menu to eat daily no pool snacks ie pizza, drinks. No shop for apartments 10-15 min walk to get anything.

Plussat: Very nice resort hotel with a beautiful overprized golf next to it. The apartment is huge and comfortable and very quiet for a good night rest. Lot's of swimming pools and a very luxuries sauna complex. The biggest of Portugal. Worth a visit.

Miinukset: Nothing to say here, it was almost perfect!

Plussat: We have stayed here before and we like the location

Miinukset: When we arrived and went to our apartment the curtain was hanging down which made the room look untidy and there was no kettle in the kitchen. We phone reception and both things were put right.

Plussat: Great location, as there a free shuttle that takes you to the beach/marina. Resort itself is lovely, with great facilities, free beach towels, 2 different pools, gym etc. Stayed in the 2 bed apartment, plenty of space, great facilities, including washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen - overall a fantastic place to stay. This is my second time staying and I have already booked to go back.

Plussat: Clean , simple , modern , excellent breakfast ,price staff

Miinukset: Access

Plussat: Siisti ja miellyttävä rauhallinen ympäristö

Miinukset: Kuntosali oli aika vaatimaton, ei voimailulaitteita

Plussat: The location has easy access to the highway and not so far from the airport.

Miinukset: I did not like the noise of the music at night, the hard bed, the unhealthy breakfast and dinner. Overall quality would not be a 4 star in my opinion. But probably great for kids because of the waterpark.

Plussat: Everything was good! Additionally, I would like to say that one day I needed to go outside the hotel early and I asked to provide me the breakfast before the specific time for breakfast. I didn't had to bargain or beg for it. In the morning 6AM a worm breakfast was waiting for me with juice, an apple and some sweets. The staff so nice and competent. Best for 4 stars hotel. Recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The room was spacious and very clean. The staff was really nice and helpful. The breakfast was quite good, with lots of variety. It's a modern, well designed hotel with several interesting features, such as a gaming room in the ground floor and very relaxing balconies in every bedroom. The location is ideal, right next to its excellent waterpark and a short drive away from the beach.

Miinukset: The water pressure in the shower was a bit poor. The beds, while perfectly decent, could be a little more confortable. At around 9 pm, service at the indoor bar was really slow.

Plussat: Kiva perhehotelli, hieno vesipuisto hotellin yhteydessä! Allasbaarin ruoat ok, samoin aamiainen. Mukavaa iltaohjelmaa ja jumppia. Suosittelen!

Miinukset: Kaukana kaikesta, ei kävelyteitä ja taksin saaminen kesti joka kerta vähintään 45 min, vaikka respassa lupasivat että kestää 15 min.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very convenient for marina and beaches. Also very well maintained hotel with lots of facilities. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent breakfast

Miinukset: The bad isolation between the rooms. You could hear all from your next rooms.

Plussat: Everything, lovely place, comfortable, staff were wonderful.

Miinukset: Liked everything

Plussat: This elegant and comfortable hotel had everything we were looking for. The spacious room had comfortable beds (our priority), and a spectacular view over the Marina area with its many restaurants and luxury yachts. It had a balcony where we could sit and look out over the harbour. The breakfast dining room was large and pleasant which included an outside terrace where we could eat outside, weather permitting. There was a varied selection of delicious food, all beautifully set out, and the staff were very pleasant and attentive. The pool and garden area was extensive and gave easy access to the beach. It was such a pleasant place to sit in the sun. The indoor heated pool was also large and we used it as It was too cold for the outside pool. All in all a lovely hotel.

Miinukset: It would have been good to have had a bidet in the bathroom, and we didn’t like the loud music in the Reception area, but these are minor complaints, and we would definitely recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Close to Marina

Miinukset: Overall quality of the room, was outdated (in need of a major upgrade, despite the fact we received an upgrade)

Plussat: Comfy beds

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: I have never visited a hotel before where you had to pay so much extra for small things. It didn’t say anywhere the pool wasn’t heated. It was freezing. Cruel for children to look at. €11 to use the spa. €9 for an hour of pool. €7.50 to get a bottle of wine open, and both fuzball tables in the kids play room charged !!!!We had to upgrade to a bigger room upon arrival because we had a 10 month old baby with us even though it says on the website babies are free. This cost €200 extra. All of this obviously had a negative impact on our holiday.

Plussat: The buffet breakfast more than met our expectations. All of the staff wherever we were in the hotel were helpful and friendly and always with a smile.

Miinukset: We can only say that it was the weather that let us down a little.

Plussat: Great location and excellent facilities. Have stayed in all the hotels on the marina and this is by far the best one .

Plussat: Amazing place for relaxation

Miinukset: Weather was cold

Plussat: The welcome at check-in, the fruit delivered to our room as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The lovely room, the staff were all very friendly, the Breakfast choices and the amazing SPA.

Miinukset: There was nothing we didn't like. The only negative would be you had to pay to visit the SPA. Most Hotels allow free entry for guests staying in the Hotel.

Plussat: Convenient for golf. Lovely hotel. Shuttle bus every night to vilamoura

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location for the golf event I attended. Close enough to Vilamoura but still quiet.

Miinukset: Cleanliness and staff. A great breakfast as well.

Plussat: Have stayed here a few times, always an excellent experience

Miinukset: The final billing system is a little unclear

Plussat: Went off season so it was very quiet but that was exactly what we wanted. Great facilities, lovely staff!

Plussat: Visited in December for personal family reasons and it lived up to its reputation of a five star hotel even in an off season. Liked the extensive breakfast buffet, the spa and treatment facilities with warm indoor pool and the shuttle service to Vilamoura.

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: great breakfast, great location

Miinukset: nothing, everything was perfect

Plussat: Lovely hotel in quiet grounds.

Miinukset: Room service was relatively slow!

Plussat: Staff were good and very helpful. Very nice building and pool areas. Rooms were excellent.

Miinukset: Food choice is average. Either a very upmarket restaurant, a fish restaurant or a limited buffet. Very little to do on an evening so you need to leave the hotel to entertain yourself which is limiting as there is nothing in walking distance. Bar area is a little soulless.

Plussat: Didnt have breakfast. location superb

Miinukset: drink prices are very expensive

Plussat: Breakfast was awesome. View was great. Staff super friendly and helpful. Room was spotless

Miinukset: Bed was on the hard side. But it was fine for me

Miinukset: Alkuillasta kuului kovaa kolinaa, kuntosali alapuolella? Pysäköintimahdollisuudet eivät vastanneet odotuksiani, aamulla piti herätä laittamaan mittarin lisää rahaa.

Plussat: A very nice hotel in the heart of the city. Excellent location, very convenient to walk or to take the bus. Bus stop next to the hotel. Staff is very welcoming and willing to accommodate your needs. Breakfast in the hotel is absolutely great, fresh fruits, local cheeses, many cereals, cakes, pastries, jams, even almond, soya, and cow milk. It was fantastic. Breakfast in the terrace in the top floor offers and amazing view. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Hotel gym very well equipped and very practical for exercising. View from the hotel is superb. Enjoy your stay!

Miinukset: Internet connection was a bit complicated, as you may need to disable system's firewall on your laptop to be able to connect. Sauna has to be equipped with termo-hygrometer. Towels were changed everyday, although I wanted to resue them and did not through them on the floor-to be changed, in respect to hotel enviromental friendly policy and for the sake of environment.

Plussat: Hyvällä paikalla, erinomainen näköala, todella herkullinen aamiainen.

Miinukset: Ei sovi hajusteallegisille.

Plussat: Central, comfortable, friendly staff and great breakfast with someone playing the piano in the background.

Plussat: Bed was a little hard for us. Food was very good, staff very good in the restaurant, bar and reception especially the concierge.

Miinukset: Was a little old and although the rooms were clean the painting of the walls in the room looked like they had been done by someone who was just learning to paint!

Plussat: Sijainti on hyvä. Toisessa huoneistamme oli kaunis näkymä ja parveke venesatamaan. Henkilökunta oli mukavaa ja auttavaista. Aamupala kylläkin runsas, mutta automaattikahvit maistuivat oudolta.

Miinukset: Perushotelli, jossa toiset huoneet hieman päivitettyjä ja toiset nuhjuisia ja vaatisivat remonttia. Toinen huoneistamme oli vanha. Kokolattiamatto haisi ja suihkusekoittaja ei oikein toiminut. Uudistettu huone oli kylmä. Hinta-laatu eivät tässä kohtaa.

Plussat: Beautiful location, superb views from the bar and restaurant on the 5th floor. Staff overall very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Location was fantastic

Miinukset: Small public areas

Plussat: Central

Miinukset: Dinner! A peculiar set up , nice buffet starter and deserts but no one seemed to know what the main course was....um grill was the response. Ok. But not outstanding or memorable

Plussat: Hieno palvelu vastaanotossa. Hyvä sijainti. Hinta/laatusuhde on hyvä

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti

Plussat: Lovely comfortable room

Miinukset: Breakfast was very average

Plussat: The location was fantastic 2min for beach and marina.

Plussat: I stayed a couple of nights here at end of Oct. It was a pleasant experience. Check in and check out was quick and efficient. I was half board so breakfast and dinner included. Breakfast was buffet style with all you could want and dinner was fine, if perhaps a little limiting on the choice of items on the a la carte menu available. Location is great - just a few steps from either the marina or the beach. Room was fine with small balcony and table/chairs. Wifi worked in my room. No noise issues - although I don't think the hotel was very full when I stayed. They accommodated my late check out request with no issues. All in all, a fine experience.

Miinukset: More choice at dinner for the half board menu.

Plussat: Good hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful particularly as we arrived quite late. Our room was more like a suite with an excellent sun terrace that had table and chairs and two sun loungers. An excellent breakfast buffet with hot and cold choices. Lovely breads and pastries. We would definitely choose to stay there again.

Plussat: Handy for marina and airport

Miinukset: The shared bathroom is disgusting. The high pressure from the toilet flush causes faeces and other nasty things to go all over the rim, seat and floor. One bathroom between many guest is uncomfortable. Taps leak too.

Plussat: I highly recommend living in this hostel. I had a chance to live 3 nights and everything from check in was on top.It’s not the season now, so there were few people. I felt like at home. The breakfast is not very extensive, but the price for the stay was pleasant. The mexican dinner with latin music was very tasty:) Thanks guys on the reception. Seeing Faro and this hostel, I wanted to continue to get to know Portugal Obrigado.

Miinukset: you may come across a very snoring neighbor

Plussat: We could join the dinner in the evening for €10,- including a drink. Very nice to meet some other travellers and the food was good and enough. The staff is friendly.

Miinukset: We stayed in the double room, which smelled like mold and was very humid. The room is right at the street sight, so there was quite som noice. Not so much of a problem with earplugs though. The room was not super clean, and all in all the hostel could do well with a refurbishment to refresh everything a bit.

Plussat: I was charmed by that place!!! Beautiful, spacious hostel hiden in a modest historical building nerby marina. Cozy and fully equiped common area with family-friendly atmosphere, huge kitchen with a self-service bar (draft beer, wine, drinks), roof terrace. They cook the local dinners for the guests every (?) night, good breakfasts are provided. Staff is very friendly and helpful and reception is available 24/7. You can find lots of useful information and maps on the wall-board in the living room. Rooms are well equiped with hangers, racks and shelf with the lamp above your head, bed is spacious and comfy. Would come back!

Plussat: We loved the laid back atmosphere and the quirky rooms. The room was clean and comfortable and the shower was brilliant! We took our breakfast onto the roof terrace which was lovely. The hostel is perfectly placed for the old town and the marina. The staff booked our taxi to the airport for us. We will definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: Whats not to like? If your not very sociable then this is not for you. But in all honesty why would you pay twice as much for a hotel when you can stay in this lovely historical building. It was all good.

Plussat: Absolutely nothing bad to say about this place! The staff were incredibly welcome as were the guests! It was set out in a way that made it easy to make friends. We stayed in a private room. This room was not too dissimilar to one of a hotel and for the price I was paying it was excellent quality ! I would 1000 times over recommend this place ! If you’re looking for a comfortable, welcoming stay near to everything you could possibly want. Definitely stay at this place !

Plussat: Big spacious room, very comfortable bed. The room is functional and worked well for our needs. Also had a little terrace with outside table and chairs. Quiet room and private.

Plussat: Clean and modern large rooms

Miinukset: Limited bar

Miinukset: Bar prices very steep 2 bottles of wine 48 euro really not champagne payed 24 euros in the bar down the road need to review your prices as hardly anyone using the bar

Plussat: The room size

Miinukset: The breakfast

Plussat: Great location and the free bus into town was a bonus

Miinukset: Clean, quiet and the staff are amazing

Plussat: Size of the room, value for money, staff were excellent,

Miinukset: sausage would have made all the difference to the cooked English.

Plussat: Was comfortable and offered what was needed. Staff are fantastic.

Miinukset: Was a little plain and simple. Was all fine, but a little boring and unmemorable.

Plussat: Rooms were spotless, ample buffet breakfast, friendly staff,

Miinukset: We couldn't fault this hotel

Plussat: Very good hotel. Comfortable very clean rooms. Furniture and bathroom modern and in perfect condition. Very good breakfast with a lot of choice. Easy and free car parking in the direct neighborhood. Professional staff. Adjacent to the beach. Nice views from the hotel. Quiet and decent hotel guests. No noisy drinking people from the other side of the Channel.

Plussat: very good

Miinukset: after arranging an extra day to be added to the holiday by telephone' i was disappointed to find it had not been added and having to pay a much higher price for the one night,

Plussat: Location and staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast and Lunch Buffet at Restaurant. Food was mediocre. A bigger parking would help too

Plussat: Aamiaisella erityisesti tomaatit olivat hyviä!

Miinukset: Kylppärissä valon säätö päälle käynnisti aina venttiilipropellin, joka hurisi turhan äänekkäästi (ei siinä vikaa ollut). Baarin sisustuksen peilit saivat aikaan kakofonisen tunnelman.

Plussat: Booked Double Superior..... loved it. Great spacious room.

Miinukset: nothing.

Miinukset: Poor vegetarian selection of food No dairy free milk in lounge bar Smell of cigarettes everywhere

Plussat: The whole hotel was immaculate, staff were very friendly and helpful. Will be back soon
