Vale de Santa Maria Hotels

"We have stayed at this hotel before and were delighted to see the renovations. The rooms are nicely decorated and we were happy with how things looked. The gal on the front desk is a gem. She’s so sweet. The rooftop bar is a must see. The view is incredible. The breakfast is one of the best we have ever encountered. "

"This hotel is 150%!!! Its location couldn’t be better, the buffet breakfast is fabulous, free parking in a safe garage, and cleanliness second to none. You walk right out onto the beautiful beach which you can walk for 5km to the other end amongst stellar cliffs. The breakfast has absolutely everything you could want. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay spectacular, they literally think of everything, right down to shower and change room if you decide to hang out on the beach after checking out. We would not even consider staying anywhere else in the Algarve❤️"

"Location near the beach, along the main strip in Praia da Rocha with downtown locations within walking distance. Local transit and Uber/Taxis readily available. All staff with whom we interacted were calm, friendly and helpful. Luggage storage prior to our room being available was offered and managed very well. Front desk staff also helped to set up a cruise for us - perfectly aligned with what we were looking for, they took care of all the arrangements including pre-payment and set up a shuttle from the hotel to the tour launch location and return to the hotel afterwards - super simple! The room was clean, everything worked including the air conditioner. Breakfast spread was enormous with a wide range of options, for us included oatmeal, fruit, nuts, seeds, juices, and bottomless expresso machine coffee. The pool water was warm and refreshing. "

"Very friendly staffs, especially at the bar. I went right before 10pm when the kitchen was closed that night. The bartender offered a sandwich and it was great! Everything was great at the property but the noise level was unavoidable. There's no sound proof and you can hear from the hall way, next door and from upper room. "

"It was amazing and I will definitely be returning "

"Great property and clean rooms, very close to the beach (on the beach.) Excellent staff and service (although amenities were closed to off season.) "

"Room was really clean, Close & Easy walk distance to Faro town. Free access to pool & chill lounge"

"Gorgeous setting. Close to town but far enough away to be serene. Super apartment style, amazing grounds and amenities. Better than a hotel for sure. "

"We were so happy to swim in the indoor heated pool and the lovely warm sauna was perfect after a day of exploring the old town. The breakfast we received as we waited for our taxi to the airport was delicious . Perfect location, great staff, comfortable bed!"
