Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo Antonio Marsh Natural Reserve hotel guide. Independent hotel in Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo Antonio Marsh Natural Reserve, Faro District

"Beautiful high end hotel after a long road trip staying at apartment style locations it was nice to have a front desk and all the amenities. We only stayed one night so we didn't really get to enjoy it all but did spend time on the beach which was huge and had SO many sea shells and take a quick dip in their outdoor pool, chilly but not freezing like a lot of quick swims we took on this trip. We got back to our room after that at exactly 12:01 to grab our stuff and check out, only to find our keycards already deactivated... annoying but understandable. Only small gripe was the front desk staff not really explaining where our room was (and being American we are still confused why rooms on the first floor, like 147 are up a level from the main). Anyway, it was a fancy hotel (for golfers I'd guess) and we're very much not fancy hotel people so not our thing but it was nice."

"We really love the hotel,, very relaxed atmosphere , clean, staff were very helpful and smiling all the time. Swimming pool was really well maintained, sun bed were comfortable. "

"We had an excellent stay. The breakfast buffet was a lot more elaborate than we expected, including a great pianist that gave us the pleasure of listening to Pink Floyd during breakfast. Front desk staff were friendly and provided great restaurant suggestions. The star of the show, though, was the exceptional Brazilian girl that runs the spa. I lost my esteemed gold necklace in the change room and she was the sweetest helping me find it. Thank you so much!!!"

"Good breakfast, good pool and bars. Slightly dated rooms"

"Excellent location. Dated hotel but has charm. Staff were lovely. Room was very clean. Breakfast was excellent. Would definitely return."

"Attractive hotel, located approximately 5K from Tavira. Quiet location, the hotel provided a shuttle bus a few times per day but would recommend a car, plenty of parking spaces. Spacious room, bathroom and comfortable balcony. Good sized pool & separate children’s pool. Only had breakfast which had good selection, there’s an option to dine outdoors. "

"Breakfast and dinner was very tasty, east access to ferry that takes you on the beach theough the gates at the back of the property, place nice and clean. Beds comfortable. "

"Peaceful enough. Didn't come for the golf, although this always seemed busy. Great accommodation with friendly staff. Close to a quiet beach."

"Very helpful staff. Room was a bit small by American standards but very clean and nice with a beautiful balcony patio."
