Top Sotavento Hotel Reviews
Roots Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel, staff really helpful. Nice pool to sit by. Fabulous roof terrace with great views and well equipped outside seating. Excellent kitchen facilities available in room. Great location Would highly recommend staying here."
AP Cabanas Beach & Nature - Adults Friendly
6/10 Okay
"A resort hotel full of package holiday tourists. You get a bracelet to identify you as a guest, breakfast is the standard "large buffet fare", sun loungers at a premium at certain times of the day. The breakfast buffet near reception starts a little later but looked better, and less crowded. €29 for a buffet dinner, service at the al carte restaurant was dreadful, they basically forgot to ring in our order so it took ages. There’s live music until 11 PM on the weekends. The band was really good but our room was directly above the restaurant patio where they play and we weren’t told about this when we checked in. If that’s not your thing, ask to be in a different building. It’s a 10 minute walk to the solar boats that take 5 mins to get across an estuary, to then walk another 5 mins to get to a lovely beach with no amenities. We just needed somewhere to stay overnight while on a road trip. The "adult friendly", and "parking available" appealed but really it definitely wasn’t for us."
Real Marina Hotel & Spa
8/10 Good
"Breakfast is good. Bar staffs are excellent. Front desk staffs are not very professional. Outdoor pool is very good."
Crowne Plaza Vilamoura - Algarve by IHG

"Excellent breakfast, location top. Also very nice place to visit. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The pool is very small on the top of the roof but the view os so beautiful. Thank you"
Dom Jose Beach Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel with wonderful views and a lovely pool, many different restaurants just steps from the hotel. The hotel facilities were so nice that having a drink in the hotel with the spectacular views was a great plan too! Everyone was super lovely specially the bar staff and cleaners. I would love to come back!"
Hotel Cidade de Olhão
10/10 Excellent
"Conveniently situated in Olhao, the hotel was very clean and comfortable with a lovely pool area, staff were welcoming, friendly and professional."
Hotel 3K Faro Aeroporto
4/10 Poor
"we checked in late due to our travel plans, only for one night as our flight from Faro was at 06.20 am next day. check in good. bedding clean, beds very hard, air con good, sink blocked in bathroom, ants in room on the luggage shelf, had to move everthing when discovered. As early rise next day went to try and sleep early. but guests were very noisy, around 10.30 to 11. also noise later one around 12.30. Will not use this hotel because of this. Did not use facilities but no water in room, no tea or coffee facilities in room. For price paid would have expected that."
Vale do Lobo Resort
8/10 Good
"The resort was lovely. We booked last minute and had a nice one bedroom with a patio. They had bread, butter and jam ready. The staff was extremely helpful and I felt like was at another World Class Resort. My only comment is our room seemed dated and use an upgrade or be refurbished. However, it was a great resort and I would highly recommend staying there next time you are in Faro area."
