Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park 3 Stars Hotels

"Parking was very easy, on site and covered. We booked a duplex with a bedroom, sitting room and bathroom, all very clean. Nice North African style decor. Check in was online and via coded lock on room door. Good sized terrace off sitting room with view over the gardens, pool and the sea in the distance. Spiral staircase from hallway to sitting room. Small fridge, microwave and sink in corner of living area. "

"Beach view was nice if you like seeing loads of cargo ships"

"Nice hotel with large rooms. Good breakfast. Helpful staff. We stayed here on the way to Lisbon from the Algarve. Sines is an industrial port city. I’d recommend staying in another city. We drove around the city a bit before checking and that was all. That’s the reason for the four star rating rather than five. "

"Beautiful surroundings, but the rooms don’t match the price or the photos Monte de Alpadueras sits in a truly stunning natural setting — surrounded by fruit trees, wide-open skies, and the gentle sounds of sheep, cows, and birds in the distance. The outdoor scenery is peaceful and restorative, and the pools and landscape make it feel like a hidden countryside retreat. However, once you step inside, the charm begins to fade. The photos online make the rooms look bright and spacious, but in reality, they are dark, small, and filled with heavy, old mahogany furniture that gives off a musty, lingering smell. The walls are thin — you can hear everything from other guests, which makes rest difficult even in such a quiet location. The bed was by far one of the most uncomfortable I’ve had anywhere: the mattress was hard, uneven, and squeaked loudly with every movement. The bathroom was extremely cramped, with a shower so small it’s difficult to turn around in. When I arrived, the bathroom lights went out — staff kindly tried to replace the bulbs, but the issue wasn’t fixed, and I spent three days using a dark bathroom. Breakfast was included and served daily, but it was exactly the same every morning: cold ham, eggs, bread, coffee, and juice. The fresh juice was lovely, but a little variety would have gone a long way. The property itself is quite remote — you really need a car, as taxis are expensive even for short distances, and walking to Zambujeira do Mar takes around 30 minu"
