B&B HOTEL Olhão Algarve ★★★

"Top notch, everything was great!"

Octant Vila Monte ★★★★★

"We were looking for a place to stay in the Algarve which was away from the crowds of budget tourists and we definitely found this with Octant Vila Monte. The hotel is pure relaxation and luxury from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. The hotel is really multiple buildings set in beautiful gardens. We enjoyed just walking from our room to breakfast or up to reception through different parts of the garden. The adults only pool is also perfect for couples without kids. Every member of staff we encountered from reception, waitstaff, cleaners and ground staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel is a little expensive (especially in peak periods) but why not treat yourself? The slight disadvantage of staying here is there is nothing much within a comfortable walk of the hotel and you will need a taxi or car to get out and about. This is not any trouble though and the hotel can organize a car to take you to the local village (Moncarapacho) or down to Olhão. Moncarapacho is a quaint small village which is definitely worth a visit. There is a great local restaurant call O António. We walked in for lunch one day and returned the next day for dinner. Although we did walk in I would recommend organizing a taxi via the hotel (drop of and pre arranged pickup) as there is no real footpath for pedestrians between the hotel and the town and it would be more difficult to walk at night. The restaurant is not open every day so check before you go. Olhão is only 15 min by car and on the Ria Formosa where you can take boat trips out onto the water and nearby islands. The hotel staff also recommended several good restaurants here for an eventing meal. Highly recommended and worth paying the extra."

Bela Ria Stay & Sushi ★★★

"Very bad, the worst experience ever. Very poor reception. Very run-down hotel. No water pressure. Very old and dilapidated furniture. Very, very bad reception staff. The worst hotel I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in many. I don't recommend it at all."

Hotel Cidade de Olhão ★★★

"Fantastic hotel on a quiet street. The staff were so kind and helpful. Breakfast was superb for the price and the hotel was spotlessly clean."

Pure Concept Hotel ★★★

"This is our third visit. We love it. The staff are so friendly and efficient. It is well located in Olhao, very clean and all the facilities function very well. The beds are very comfy, the breakfast is fairly priced. We cannot fault it."

Real Marina Hotel & Spa ★★★★★

"Normalite"

Moinho das Marés ★★★

Villa Loreto ★★★★

"A modern hotel comprising only 10 rooms in a quiet village location. Staff, rooms and amenities all first class. The views over the Ria Formosa and a large flock of flamingos was lovely, particularly from the infinity pool. All rooms appear to share the same view. Bikes were available from the hotel free of charge to explore the surrounding area which is particularly great for bird watchers. Nearby Fuseta is well worth a visit and from there you can catch a small ferry or water taxi to the neighbouring islands. Only slight negative is that there are no nice bars or restaurants in walking distance. For us it was a perfect place to relax after a busy week at Quinta do Logo."

Al - Alojamento Local Pension Bicuar ★★★

"This pensão is in the heart of the old town, a couple of steps from the market and right beside the best breakfast in town – the Olho da Ria. It's a lovely old building whose one drawback is the very very steep flights of stairs between the floors. The street is not accssible by vehicle, which makes the place nice and quiet. My room was simple, clean and cool. Staff were more than helpful and there is a lovely cheerful atmosphere to the place, largely thanks to them. And very reasonably priced!"
