Barlavento Vacation Rentals

"Staff was very attentive. There was a good bit of construction being done around the hotel that took away a bit from the atmosphere, but the room was quite large. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked well. The location was pretty good except for the construction. It's a bit of a walk from the "main drag" on the other side of the marina, but not horrible. Note that this is a more modern hotel and does not give the older Portuguese vibe. Still, it was a good stay. The free parking was right across the street from the hotel entrance. It was never full for us, but we were there a little off season. It could be a concern in the main tourist season. As far as laundry facilities go, there is a private laundromat about a block away that you can use, at 4 euros each for one wash and one dry. The facility was clean, but about a block away. That was a pain, but a life saver on a 2 week vacation."

"Very nice hotel. Near the beach. 20-30 minute walk to the old town, but not hard. good to be a little away from action. very good breakfast. beautiful ocean views from rooms. nice pool. welcome drink is a nice perk. would definitely come back!"

"A great hotel and central location. Reception and communal areas were spotless pool area was fantastic. Rooms very clean and towels changed every day, but they are a little dated. Overall top class"

"Breakfast was great! Staff were fantastic! The views were outstanding! And the hotel was all around amazing. "

"It is a beautiful hotel, well located and I got a gorgeous room overlooking the pools and sea. First hotel I've stayed in where the bed was comfortable, the room was quiet despite the number of guests. The staff were feiendly and the buffet breakfast was consistently good. It is away from the crowds of main Albufeira and yet it is easy to travel around as a base. I even took a coach trip to Seville for the day! It is a beautiful property inside and outside and probably the best hotel in the area. You won't regret it. "

"Great resort Breakfast was delicious "

"The views from our bedroom were amazing and we were steps from the beach!! The breakfast was great and had a lot of variety. The staff were spectacular, very kind, and super accommodating - they had a kettle we could use for our room!"

"Excellent in all aspects"

"The staff was exceptional in every way and they made our stay such a great experience. I would recommend this property to anyone. The breakfast buffet was also something to look forward to each morning. "
