Barlavento hotel rooms a the Pousadas de Portugal

"The hotel was perfect in every way. The staff was very professional, friendly and welcoming. The selection and quality of the food at all the different restaurants was excellent. The room was comfortable and immaculately clean. Great views from most rooms. Would stay here again."

"We really enjoyed our stay at the resort. The staff were excellent. The facilities are really well looked after. We enjoyed the pools and the beach. The beach was beautiful. Some others have complained about the price of food and drink and I guess in comparison to other parts of Portugal it may seem like that. It is a 5 star rating and we expected 5 star pricing for food. We enjoyed the buffet dinner although I thought there could be more hot options at dinner. We enjoyed the Lima restaurant for the wonderful staff. The food at Lima was very good but could have gone up a level to meet the hotel star rating. The regional wine suggestions were excellent in all restaurants and reasonable prices based on North American perspective. All-in-all the staff made the experience. "

"lovely experience and the staff were excellent "

"Immaculate, friendly staff, close to the beach"

"Just spend a week at Algarve Casino. The property was lovely and ideally located close to the main street and the beach. We had lovely sea views from our room which in itself was spacious. Some parts of the hotel feel a bit dated but that did not take away from the overall impressions. The seawater pool was nice and warmer than that sea. No issues with getting a sunlounger but I can imagine during peak season there might not be enough. Food for breakfast was good with loads of choices. We did not use the restaurant for lunch or dinner so cannot really provide an opinion. Staff were generally friendly and tried to help when we had any queries. Overall a lovely place to stay."
