Barlavento hotel guide. Independent hotel in Barlavento, Portugal

"Reception staff were very helpful. Hotel was new and clean."

"Excellent stay in all aspects"

"The service, amenities and location was excellent! The breakfast buffet was fantastic. We enjoyed seeing the sun rise each morning on the balcony. The beach was close proximity to the hotel. "

"I felt I should write a review after reading lots of bad reviews about this hotel, as I had a very pleasant stay. The hotel is very basic and doesn't have air conditioning but I knew this before booking. My room didn't get a lot of sun and the temperature was fine. It is clean and there were cleaners working all the time. There are a lot of steps in it but I didn't have a problem with that, there is an elevator. All the photos the hotel provides are exactly how it is. There is a lovely view from the pool and breakfast area. Breakfast was basic, as expected but enjoyable due to the lovely views. It is in an elevated position above the old town, so I would usually walk to the town, which isn't far and get an uber back, which was €4. The lady at reception was very pleasant. Overall, I knew what I had booked before I arrived and I didn't expect five star facilities at a two star hotel. Also I was travelling on my own and felt safe. "
