Olhao Hotels with Bars

"Very clean and new hotel. The carpets in the hallways were brilliant - well thought out to make wheeled suitcases easy to pull; also stylish. Bed was super comfortable, AC very effective, room was kept immaculately clean by friendly cleaning staff. Friendly staff served breakfast and in the roof top bar which was amazing, with 360degree views. Dipping pool and sun loungers were well-used; hard to get a lounger in time! Downside: some very odd management decisions. Despite description on Trip there was no cafe, no lunch or dinner and not even bar snacks! I rang on the 2nd day to ask for a bottle of water … response “Madam, this is a 3* hotel. You only get a bottle of water on your first day”!! Bizarre. I was able to buy a $0.99 bottle from the bar for €2.50! Breakfast: the ubiquitous coffee machine producing the most disgusting coffee - I tried all of them! In the end I risked tea and even the hot water had scum on it. I know I was not alone … bacon - HP sauce standing proud like a statue - no sausages, cooked tomato, fried egg etc! Pancakes and waffles - no syrup! Nice fresh bread rolls and croissants. Sliced cheese and packaged ham. Selection of cereals, orange juice and good selection of fruit. After 5 breakfasts I got fed up. WARNING - I was asked to give them my debit card to pay - she wrote down all the details! After I thought - why? I asked why - she said do they could charge me after I left if anything was missing or broken. I was assured this was legal in Portugal! I told them that was what “checkout” was for! I froze my card but I was really angry and when I have time to get a replacement I will need to cancel it! Balcony nice but only looked onto other rooms! Looking down - WHY NO GARDEN???!!! Just rooftops. I recommend a 4 hour boat trip …. Maybe 30m pleasant walk. Also hire bikes and go to the Nature Reserve - don’t miss Roman Salt Pits and beach crabs ….😊"

"A little slice of heaven in the countryside. Beautiful property with comfortable rooms and everything you'd need to relax. The gardens and pool were gorgeous. I ate dinner at the restaurant and it was a gourmet experience. 3 courses for 20 Euro's. But it wasn't the money, it was wonderful. The staff were very nice and the property was spotless. Highly recommend."

"The hotel has a good location, where you can watch the sea. The terrace is large but the facilities in the room are outdated. The staff at the front desk is quite nice. I stayed for one night and had the dinner at the hotel restaurant. The dishes tasted good."

"Die Ausstattung war top! Es war super sauber, dass Frühstück war auch Mega lecker. Sie haben so sehr auf die Details geachtet, auch die Einrichtung mit den vielen Pflanzen auf der Dachterasse war super Wohlfühlend und einladend. Super durchdachtes und liebevolles Konzept. Das Highlight war der Service, man hat sich so herzlich willkommen gefühlt von den Mitarbeitern, es war eine super tolle Energie dort und einladende Atmosphäre. Alles sehr hilfsbereit und herzlich. Würde hier jedes Mal wieder herkommen !! ♥️"
