Barlavento hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in Barlavento, Portugal

"The buffet was plentiful, with good gluten free options. The pool side service was great, and the bartenders were all smiles "

"Beautiful hotel. We had a balcony facing the ocean. Perfect to watch the sun set. If you can, book a corner room. Pool is NIT heated and they do not use a blanket warmer to keep it warm. Breakfast buffet is outstanding with a variety of meats, cheese, cereal and pastries and coffee/tea/juuce. Staff were outstanding in our opinion! Cons: our shower was plugged and we had requested someone assist us to no avail. The floor in our room had laminate that LOOKED like marble. The corners were lifting due to cleaning with water. These were VERY SHARP. If we didn’t have slippers on we surely would have cut our feet. Hotel gates close at 8:00 pm and you will require your key card to get in. Overall a great location and stay "

"We are loved here features more "

"The best location in Lagos for beach access and steps away from the trails at Dona Anna Beach. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend this place."

"Staff was attentive when needed. Very calm and relaxing. If your are looking for a slower pace, relaxation and good food, this is a nice place. Food is fairly expensive compared to the local town a 10 minute walk. A variety of restaurants are available and multiple tourist shops. Parking is horrible, so use service from the airport and the hotel has rental cars if needed, also a Tuk Tuk that transports to Carvoeiro if choosing not to walk the 10 minutes. Great stay. "

"Everything about this hotel was wonderful "

"Beach view was outstanding! Staff were friendly. I felt that the hotel was very well run by management because everything was perfect. "

"Great place, great stay."

"Beautiful place to stay, would visit again."
