Barlavento Hotel Guide - Wedding Hotels in Barlavento, Portugal

"There were pros and cons to our experience at this hotel. Check in was seamless. Even though there was construction on the property, the staff parked our car and brought the luggage to our room. The property is beautiful and we had a great view overlooking the ocean. There is easy access to the beach and it is definitely worth your while to see the cliffs and walk along the beach. The room is very nice and clean. The cons were; when we went to the bar for a drink, and we were the only ones there, we were enjoying our glass of wine and watching and listening to music videos when the bartender abruptly changed the channel and started watching a movie. Secondly, our check in amenities included the spa, however, it was actually limited spa access. The indoor pool, dry sauna and steam sauna was an upcharge (called the aqua zone). We did pay the upcharge but when we entered the aqua zone, being the only ones there, there were used towels on the loungers, the water urns were empty and we had to go to another room to bring back clean towels to lie on. Later that day we went to the buffet and we were greeted by a lady who was very excited to show us the buffet. We weren’t that hungry, but we thought, how much can a buffet be. Well, we found out later that the buffet was $48.00 euro per person and it was what I would describe as being “okay”. We completely felt that it was a gotcha moment. Staff said we should have been informed. etc., etc. etc!!! "

"This hotel is a great place to stay. Central to the boardwalk which is a lovely walk and the beach is so nice and clean. The hotel is very close to bars, restaurants and shopping."

"Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Housekeepers were very attentive and helpful. Needed some assistance with appliances and repairs were dealt with very efficiently. "

"Lovely staff, offered to take our bags to the room, always polite and helpful. Had a Superior Twin room with balcony overlooking the gardens, table and chairs on balcony. Nice and peaceful and quiet outlook. Pool area was nice, even had a dip though it was the end of February so water was a bit cold. There was a man with a bird of prey round the pool to chase the seagulls away as they had a tendancy to land in the pool! Breakfast was exceptional, buffet style, cooked breakfast, continental meats and cheeses, huge selection of fresh bread, pastries, fresh prepared fruit and yoghurts, cereals, fresh juices, coffee and tea and even prosecco! In a great location with walking distance to supermarket, Lagos town and the beaches. Would definitely stay again."

"Nice one bedroom apartment, close to the beach with a nice restaurant, but restaurant in a hotel was closed for dinner, very inconvenient. Spa and pool only open till 6 pm, just the time to relax. And no robs in the room. Usually hotels with spa provide them. Next time will look for another hotel."

"Large Beautiful Resort, the online pictures do not adequately show the extent of its beauty or size. It is a wonderful property with many great amenities, the large indoor spa and pool were exceptional. Our daily interaction with the friendly staff was the best. They all were very professional and always willing to assist in any way. Their customer service was exceptional. "

"The room was fantastic. Clean and spacious. The staff was next level in terms of friendliness, and were super accommodating."
