"I returned to Hotel Residencial Salema with a friend for a weekend in October 2025 having stayed there alone for 10 nights a couple of months earlier because I enjoyed the first stay so much. Salema is such a beautiful and relaxing spot and to me this hotel is a gem. The accommodation is simple, clean and comfortable and the housekeeping team do a great job. Every member of staff was polite, friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the continental buffet breakfast which was charmingly quaint and the kitchen staff kept everything topped up throughout the mornings. This really is a great place to relax and recharge and I would recommend it to solo travellers. I swam in the sea every day and enjoyed walking on the beach in the evenings. The little shops and restaurants are all within a stone's throw of the hotel. I brought my book down to the hotel bar at nighttime. Valentim, who runs the bar, is a gentleman, a total pro at his work and clearly beloved of many returning guests. When I travelled with my friend in October we visited the other bars in Salema which were very good but we had the best time in the hotel bar with some other visitors, some locals and Valentim. I fully intend making this trip a regular in my calendar."

"The apartment is very large and in a very good location. The apartment is very large, well furnished with all the comforts. The divide between two floors is a little uncomfortable, but this has allowed a wide kitchen and a comfortable living area. Several terraces and a large terrace at a higher floor accessible by chicle scale, so not very useable. Inverter conditioners, and a electric chamber, washing machine, washing machines, so many TVs and daily cleaning. It is a very exceptional stay."

"Albatros Blu Spa Absolutely amazing! The view is stunning sea everywhere you look, especially at sunset. The food is delicious with great variety, and the restaurants are super elegant. Service is top notch fast, friendly, and professional. Everything is clean, calm, and luxurious. Honestly, every detail was perfect. Can’t wait to go back!"
