Hotel terbaik di Estômbar

Quiet, peaceful place but nothing available nearby except the excellent Quinta Dos Santos winery and restaurant - open 13.00 to 22.00. Our hotel room was clean and spacious and the staff really do try to do an excellent job. However the food is extremely disappointing and the only evening meal available is a buffet of mediocre, tasteless dishes. Two nights a week the restaurant is closed, one night Pizza is available and the other night Barbecue; if these are not to your taste you'll have to make do with bar snacks. It is mandatory to book a table for the evening restaurant but don't try and do this through reception, they will always tell you it is fully booked. However if you go to the restaurant personally most of the tables are free and you will be able to eat there. Apparently this is because a lot of ”all inclusive holidays” are booked there and so evening tables are prioritised for these people but most of them do not appear for dinner. Why reception is unaware of this none of the staff could explain. Apart from dining chairs at the Pool Bar and loungers round the pool there are no comfortable seats available. Certainly not one of the better places I have stayed in.

Don’t believe the negatives, these apartments are new, clean and have all required facilities, kitchen area, shower room and twin beds. Nice sunny balcony. There is a gymnasium on site and two swimming pools. Free shuttle bus to Gramacho and Pinta golf courses. I was on a golf trip, so exactly as i required, these are not really designed as family holiday apartments, albeit that families did seem to be enjoying them. If you want to walk. It’s only 1k to Gramacho club house and the adjacent supermarket, but remember there is the free shuttle. Staff were welcoming and helpful, I thoroughly recommend the Apartments, but if they want to improve things, a bar in the reception are, with snack options would be nice, but its not a game changer.

My husband and I have just returned from a weeks holiday here at Colina de Lapa, and there are positives and negatives to staying here. We enjoyed the space in the apartment as bigger than what you’d get in a hotel. But if you’re looking for a beach holiday, or a lively/tourist spot with shops, bars, restaurants and souvenir shops, then I’d say this isn’t the place for you, or you need a car to get out and about! We said we wouldn’t return here as we like to be nearer the beach. Positives first The 1 bed apartment has benefits of a full kitchen inc kettle, washing machine, microwave, hob, oven, fridge freezer, TV, living room and dining table, it’s a great space for a small family and home from home really. Beds were firm and we slept great! Housekeeping came in every day apart from Sunday, they made/changed the beds, we had clean towels daily, they emptied bins and did a little clean round. It’s a quiet and peaceful area with beautiful gardens and pool. We didn’t use the pool so can’t comment but it looked nice. There’s a shuttle bus that takes you to Carvoeire. We didn’t use this as we had a car, so not sure of the exact details but I believe it drops you off at 11am and picks you up at 4pm. Evening meals were nice but limited. Tennis courts and basketball court I think Children’s play area Negatives You need a car to get out and about as it’s quite far away from any town. It’s definitely not suited to anyone with mobility issues. There is a bit of a hill from the restaurant area, to the reception area, (where you get the shuttle) and there are steps round the complex. Takes over 30 minutes to walk to nearest beach, going down is ok but coming up (it’s all uphill) is another story! Unless you get a taxi or use the shuttle to go to the beach in carvoeiro The restaurant is limited, not sure if it’s because we went out of season (2nd week in an October.) We opted for half board (which was more expensive than we’d paid in other hotels) the breakfast was continental, cold meats, cereal, pastries, yoghurts, fruit, no eggs or hot food though. The HB evening meal option was a choice of 2 dishes (not enough variety) and we were offered the same food a few times. It did taste nice what we had though but needs more veg/salad options. Others who were eating here and not HB said they didn’t have all that was on the menu either. But could be a seasonal thing. Apartment is dated, needs modernizing. We also had ants in the bathroom, not mega amounts but about 6-12 and then we saw 1 climbing up the wardrobe in the bedroom, so panicked in case they crept in the bed! There was a subtle musty/damp smell In our apartment, more so in the bedroom. You got used to it when in the apartment, only noticing when you’d been out and come back in. No shops on site, (not even for basics) nearest one is a 10-15 minute walk away which isn’t far unless you’ve got mobility issues. No gym. The complex has apartments and villas with pools, whic

Em geral foi uma boa experiência. O quarto com WC inclui sala e uma pequena cozinha. As condições de acesso ao SPA poderiam ser melhores, visto que temos de passar mais de metade do caminho pela rua qualquer seja o percurso que façamos, o que se torna frio e desagradável, talvez tapar as laterais dos corredores e a passagem de um lado do hotel para o outro fosse uma boa opção. O mesmo acontece na ida para o restaurante. Muitas crianças na piscina e no jacuzzi, a saltar para a piscina e a correr pelo recinto da mesma, o que torna o espaço pouco agradável de usufruir. O pequeno almoço é bom, muitas opções de pão, doces, pastelaria e máquina de café. No entanto para um hotel de 4* estrelas tem fruta pouco variada, não tem salmão fumado, abacate, ou opções para pessoas celíacas, leite sem lactose só a pedido. Staff muito simpático e limpeza excelente!

Booked a 3-night twin room to attend a friend's lecture in Lagoa. The hotel, or better, motel is excellent for those on wheels, not for those on foot. If you have disabilities find another town in the Algarve. Some sets of stairs do not have rails, you have to go round the entrance to physically 'get in'. The reception has only 1 staff member when off-season, be prepared and do it all online. Forget questions about taxis, transportation, and restaurant advice is really subjective. The room was very comfortable, the second door to a set of stairs (curled) with direct access to the car park/entry of the hotel area was not. Cold and humidity pass through the doors (front door leading to corridor inside as well), as doors need maintenance. Breakfast is good and varied, for all tastes, except gluten-free options. Internet signal very weak, had to use phone data package. Check-in is only at 4pm. Pro's. besides what I already mentioned: bus terminal 5 min walk, good restaurants each way 5 min walk (one is just next door), supermarket passing the roundabout, beds very comfortable. You can walk to the centre (10 min walk) but the town is without interest, unless you are there for an event, for those on foot, you can stay here and get to know other nearby cities in the Algarve by bus, as the terminal is so close, and it is not expensive to go around by bus.

We stayed here in August after a week long group holiday in a villa in Benagil. This was just what we needed to recover from a hectic week ! The villas are spacious and spotlessly clean . We stayed in a two story two bed villa . The bed was huge and the balcony had wonderful views over the gardens . Most of all - the people who make this place so special are the staff . Tania , Natalino and Tieery to name a few . All the staff at this lovely village have made this one of the best holidays . They are so friendly and charming they make you smile everyday . I would love to name them all but there were so many . The taxis are cheap (5 euros) if you want to visit nearby Carvoiero for a bit more of a lively scene and amazing restaurants like A Gale and Jota Lita . There was a really good mix of nationalities staying at the village so you feel part of a truly global family . 100% we will be returning again .

It’s our second time to Monte Santo and it was better than the first a number of years ago. Apartments were spotlessly cleaned and well maintained. All facilities available with the exception of a clothes horse. Hotel said it was because there was a washer dryer but I prefer not to use a dryer on lots of items. Cleaners were good and came every day. Towels were changed when required and pool towels can be changed daily. Lots of beds available at the pool however if you want an umbrella you need to be there earlier. I understand that more umbrellas are on the way. Lots of maintenance taking place to keep the resort up to standard. In comparison to other resorts I’ve stayed in, I think they could do more with the restaurant and bar. A better lunch and snack menu and a better priced evening menu would attract a lot more customers. Overall a lovely stay. It’s not 5 star and probably more good 4 star.

This was our second visit to the hotel. The facility is perfect. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. A special shout-out is deserved here to Eugenia in the pool bar who cannot do enough to serve you and will tirelessly take pictures as required. Every member of staff is so professional and engaging. Pool is a good size, plus a children's pool— plenty of sun beds with shade. Our room was a one-bed poolside apartment with a small functional kitchenette facility (2 ring hob, sink and full-size fridge). The bathroom and shower are huge. Maid service every day. Breakfast was good and can be taken outside on the patio. We didn't try the restaurant in the evening although the menu looked good (emphasis on meat) and seemed reasonably priced. Walking distance (10 mins) the ”secret” beaches at melho and pintadinho. Walk to Ferragudo town square, which is 20 minutes. A return Uber is approx 5-6 euros. There is complimentary car parking beneath and on the side of the complex. Am already arranging a return next year.

What a great little hotel. We stayed for onky 1 night, but wish we could have stayed longer. We arrived before check in time but our room was ready so Bianca the lovely reception lady showed us to our room, the yellow suite. The room was spacious, light and airy. Bathroom was good. The breakfast was wonderful with a great selection. My husband had his morning dip in the swimming pool. Excellent location easy walk to the major attractions and restaurants. We arrived by train and it was an easy walk from the station through the old centre. Would recommend as a great base to visit Portiamo.
