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: Wonderful breakfast and super nice staff!

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff Comfortable room Delicious breakfast with local specialties Location (close to the train station, airport, city centre)

Miinukset: Water (shower) was too cold in the morning

Plussat: Lovely, quirky little hotel. Worth the higher price tag! The staff were all amazingly friendly; nothing was too much effort! Lots of good recommendations of local restaurants & excursions. The bedroom & bathroom were perfect and the breakfast was a feast! Can’t wait to return!

Miinukset: Having to go home after being spoilt!

Plussat: It was perfect for us to wind down for a couple of days. The staff were friendly and helpful. Faro was buzzing, a real find and this apartment had a great location. This is definitely a couples guest house, although as two families we were made very welcome.

Miinukset: Breakfast should be done as a buffet. I felt guilty over the waste!

Plussat: Sisustukseen ja esteettisyyteen on panostettu ja hotelli on kaunis. Aamiaispöytä katettu ja runsas, osaksi tosin hieman liian makeaa omaan makuuni.

Miinukset: Suihku ja vessa jäivät kosteiksi, kunnon ilmastointi puuttui.

Plussat: Breakfast was exceptional. The breakfast area was elegant. I used a dining area to catch up on some work and it was also well appointed. Close to everything however we visited in the off season..

Plussat: The staff is really helpful

Plussat: Pedro was wonderful, super welcoming anf with great communication. The guest house was peaceful and relaxed with a lovely ambience and great location for reaching the harbour and old town. Lots of lovely space for guests - bar area with Port tastings when available, lobby with seating/books etc, pool room. You can see that a lot of effort is going into upgrading this lovely house for 2020. So much effort to make guests happy. A plentiful breakfast was served by a lovely lady and consisted of meats/cheeses/pastries/juice/coffee/fruit/yoghurt. Thank you for a lovely one night stay! We will return to Faro!

Miinukset: I dont wish to sound too negative, the welcome here was amazing as was the location for our one night stay. However, it is useful to have constructive feedback. I found the bed very uncomfortable, though my husband slept fine, I did not, in fact hardly at all. It was a very hard bed, I did not like the blanket under the cotton sheets, you could feel the pattern on your skin which was irritating. I would suggest higher quality beds and/or mattress toppers as a good investment. The outer covers were super heavy, but I used them folded as a base to combat the grainy feeling of the sheets! I also felt that some fittings/facilities could be upgraded for better quality (like the bed) ie the hairdryer, the waste bins, the linens. We noticed the Opus logo design on everything, but this cost would be better used on really great sturdy fixtures/fittings in our opinion.

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.

Miinukset: Water pressure was very low in shower and gym in not a gym only couple old equipment

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: Amazing views, wonderful hotel, amazing food; buffet breakfast was excellent, meal in Pepper's restaurant was outstanding. Plenty of sun in south facing sea view room. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Made us very welcome.

Miinukset: Minor building works during off-peak season blocked direct access to beach from hotel. But access was possible with a short walk.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel in perfect location. Made us feel very special

Miinukset: The steak restaurant was excellent but a little too pricey

Plussat: Everything was perfect, great experience and amazing staff 10/10

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

Miinukset: Liked everything

Plussat: Lovely spacious room with views over the marina. Fabulous breakfast with everything you could possibly want. Lovely lady who came to turn down our beds in the evening and give us chocolates! Spotlessly clean hotel with an amazing spa.

Miinukset: Nothing!

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: Very comfortable room and communal areas. Restaurant superb for both breakfast and dinner. Friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Nothing much

Plussat: Royal breakfast.

Plussat: Everything was just good even at winter!! (Christmas) will deffo come back for summer

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: Lovely hotel ideally situated

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: Very specious room with comfortable large bed and great view. Staff really kind and friendly. Great breakfast with different dish options.

Plussat: Didnt have breakfast. location superb

Miinukset: drink prices are very expensive

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: Love this hotel. Great staff, spa and heated outdoor pool, golf and Tennis. The Tennis Pro Vasco is worth coming for! This is our second visit this Year.

Miinukset: You need a car to get to the beach but the hotel has everything so you don’t really need to leave. Free shuttle to Town too.

Plussat: great breakfast, great location

Miinukset: nothing, everything was perfect

Plussat: Position and facilities

Miinukset: Couldn’t get an appointment for a spa treatment

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: 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

Plussat: Location was excellent

Miinukset: Noise front of building and room cleanliness

Plussat: Nice clean hotel, friendly staff,

Miinukset: No tea or coffee facilities in rooms

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

Plussat: I appreciated the breakfast which was diverse and tasty. The terrace is very large, with a great view. The room was large and it had all the facilities we needed.

Miinukset: It was a bit cold in the room and there was a bad smell during the first 2 days.

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

Miinukset: Ei sovi hajusteallegisille.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

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: Aamupala oli erittäin runsas ja kattoterassin uima-allas-osasto varsin viihtyisä. The breakfast was very plentiful and the rooftop pool area was pleasant.

Miinukset: Sviittihuoneiston näkymä ei ollut venesatamaan vaan käytännössä hälyiselle pysäköintialueelle. Hotellin esitteet/mainoskuvat eivät asiaa kerro. Ensimmäisenä yönä kaikki sähköt menivät pois ja avunpyyntösoittoon ei reagoitu lainkaan ja seuraaviin vasta pitkän ajan jälkeen. Pitkä aamuyö pimeydessä ja kuumuudessa. Siivoojalla ei ilmeisesti ollut imuria käytössä koko viikon aikana. Ilmeisesti Portugalin mittapuun mukaan sviitti tarkoittaa vain perushuoneistoa, jonka pinta-ala on suuri. Huoneiston iso pinta-ala ei tee huoneistosta tosi kallista sviittiä. Henkilökunnasta ei välittynyt iloinen ilmapiiri. The apartment's view was not a marina but a noisy parking area. The hotel brochures will not tell you the truth. On the first night all the electricity went away and the call for help they did not react first at all and the following calls only after a long time. Long Morning in darkness and in heat ! The cleaner apparently had no vacuum cleaner available throughout the week. Apparently, according to the Portuguese quality level, the suite means only a basic apartment with a large area. The large area does not make the apartment really expensive suites. There was no happy atmosphere in the staff.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli riittävän monipuolinen, raaka-aineet tuoreitakin kaikkea runsaasti.

Miinukset: Ei varsinaisesti mitään moitittavaa.

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

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti

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

Miinukset: We couldn't fault this hotel

Plussat: Staff friendly and efficient. Breakfast excellent. Plenty of choice.

Plussat: great location. make sure you pay the extra for a sea view

Miinukset: nothing really

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: Great location, great food. Lovely sea view room. Spacious. Special Birthday on arrival so the management left a bottle of champagne and fruit in the room

Miinukset: Nothing not to like.

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

Miinukset: nothing.

Plussat: Restaurant in Dom Jose was cleaned and maintained by the staff to the highest standard. Attention to the needs of customers was lovely to see.

Miinukset: Due to the large number of English visitors I would have liked a better quality of breakfast food. E.G. English bacon and sausages, fried mushrooms and larger cups for breakfast tea. A very limited and poor choice, for the English taste, of Lunch and Buffet limited courses E.G. Only one Fish, Meat and Vegetarian course

Plussat: Modern and clean, staff were helpful.

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: The staff were amazing and everyone at the hostel was very friendly!

Plussat: Old building right in the city center with inner yard with flowers and red fishes. Nice big common living room. Friendly stuff. Quite clean.

Miinukset: This building requires a serious reparation.

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: Nothing

Miinukset: It was closed, very let down and upsetting, my wife was in tears !!!

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.
