Independent Ilha da Culatra hotels

"We love the Domes, great location, easy walk to the harbour and the beach. "

"Lovely hotel resort-spotlessly clean. We had a studio which was very spacious with a very large bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. It was the best of both worlds- I like an apartment and my friend who I travelled with prefers a hotel so we opted for the studio ( which was like an apartment) with breakfast as an extra .The breakfast was excellent ( good choice of gluten free items ) and you could get lunch / dinner if required . We only ate dinner there once and were a bit disappointed with the food which was surprising as the breakfast was so nice. The staff were great-so helpful . My friend broke her sunglasses and they repaired them for her. A big plus (and it maybe the time of year as we went just after the school holidays) was that there was no scramble for sunbeds. There were always lots available at any time of day. The hotel is about a 30 minute walk to the marina or a 5 minute taxi ride - we sometimes booked an uber and it was about 5 euros . Overall we loved our stay here- our only small issues were that there was no mirror in close proximity of a plug so difficult to dry your hair, and our balcony was very small and set back between 2 buildings so not a great view. If a balcony space is important to you the 1 bed apartments seem to have a bigger / better balcony or maybe contact the hotel direct to ask for one that is not set back like ours . "

"Gorgeous place. Clean, friendly, helpful, good location and had everything you could wish for. "

"Everything about this hotel is 5*, from the minute we arrived. The staff are amazing and the hotel should be extremely proud of how great their team is. "

"We only stayed for one night, arriving at 23:00 the receptionist was very friendly and efficient, ensuring that the room allocated met our requirements. The room, although basic, was spotlessly clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. At check out, the receptionist (different one from check-in) was again extremely friendly and efficient, we did not have breakfast, but the restaurant area looked very clean and opened out onto the pool area which looked very inviting."

"Unbelievable place. The hotel staff made this holiday even more special; so polite helpful and always welcoming! They have helped me with all my queries and happy to be of assistance. The hotel is quiet and amazingly decorated. They provide and carer for kids which was the highlight of the holiday. Kids pool and play area along with kids club. I found a great deal on expedia which i couldnt say no to!!"

"Lovely hotel with bar and pool. Excellent location for exploring Faro. "

"Great resort, top notch cleanliness, great staff, great facilities, easy access to the beach (although chair rentals on the beach are expensive 50euro+), two pools (cold not heated) great dining options, very close to Albufeira old city, easy parking and great breakfast! Highly recommend. "

"Fantastic location and great staff."
