Real Marina Hotel & Spa
5/5 Excellent
"An amazing hotel, very big but very quiet at the same time. Super luxury. Rooms were large and really comfortable. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. Food was incredibly good, huge choice for breakfast. Just can’t fault anything, and best of all, only a 15 minute taxi ride from the airport. "

Lovely Hotel
"Perfect location, in a lovely boutique hotel. We had the penthouse room, and plenty of space and two large terraces. Walk around the corner to all the restaurants, cafes etc. Some people had complained of noise from the pizza drivers opposite but we didn't have any problems."

Great value, quiet location and a nice breakfast.
"While the location is a bit remote, we enjoy the peacefulness. There is a very nice looking pool but as we stayed in mid October, we did not use it. The breakfast was fresh, had generous portions and was very appealing. The free access 24 hours a day seems a small amenity but was greatly appreciated. The walls are a bit thin allowing noise transmission but we would gladly return. "

"I was given detailed instructions on how to get to the ferry boats to Culatra and other places of interest, when I arrived, which I really appreciated. I had a delicious breakfast every morning with freshly pressed orange juice. The homemade jams were perfect. I loved the nautical décor in my room. There are plenty of thoughtful guest facilities and I enjoyed having breakfast in the outdoor space."
