Best Hotels in Quelfes, Portugal

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 ….😊

Although the room is not big, the facilities are very new and it feels very novel, belonging to the new hotel chain type. The hotel is located upstairs in the Auchan supermarket, which is very convenient.

What a lovely hotel, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The hotel is absolutely spotless and clean. We had a great room with a balcony, there was a kettle and fridge, the beds are so comfortable and the room is tidied every day. The breakfast was very generous, continental based with lots of fruit, meats and cheeses, small pastries, it also included eggs and bacon, you can help yourself to as much as you wish. There is also a great swimming pool and sun area, with very comfortable loungers. There is a great supermarket around the corner and it’s a 10 minute walk to the marina. Such a great place to just relax and soak up the sun and atmosphere of Olhao, thank you for a relaxing few days, we hope to return 💜💜

The pool area is the highlight of this hotel. There were plenty of sunbeds for the guests. There is a pool bar which opens if there is a full day of good weather. You must go to the bar, there is no poolside service. The gym and spa area were also good. I enjoyed a lovely massage. The hotel rooms are very compact but functional. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Shower was good and there was always hot water. The air con was great. The fridge works well if you leave the cabinet door open. There is tea and coffee (but not restocked) but no milk. You must put sign on the door if you want the cleaners to do your room. There is no iron in the room and none available on request. You have to pay for an ironing service. The sink drained very slowly in the bathroom. The hallway carpets had some questionable staining - I really cannot understand how they haven’t replaced sections of it. We had a room overlooking the carpark which is not the best view but does get nice evening sunshine on the balcony. The WiFi was good. The breakfast was only ok. I would have expected better. There was nice fresh fruit and fresh croissants each morning but the yogurt, orange juice and coffee were terrible quality. I wouldn’t touch the hot food. If you come down near the end of service, forget about it, staff seem to have given up, I even had to set my own table one morning as none of the tables had been cleared. The piano player at breakfast was very good. They give out flowers to the lady guests some days. These things are nice touches but I imagine guests would rather better food instead. We had lunch in the hotel twice. Pizza was ok. Tried the calamari another day but it could have been deep fried anything to be honest and fries tasted like they’d been sitting around. Rooftop bar is nice with lovely views and they make good cocktails. Bar staff were nice. We only in the rooftop restaurant once and it was disappointing.

The service was correct, the bathroom quite acceptable, good. Comfortable beds and everything spacious. Being on the fourth floor, there was no noise from the street. The only downside is that you could hear noises like pipes, which was a bit annoying, you could hear that weird noise (we think) when others were taking showers or using the WC. We didnt have breakfast. In general, the experience was good and the staff was attentive.

Recently refurbished three star property with a four star level of service. While the rooms are small, they are fully equipped and the bathrooms are sparkingly clean. Great air conditioning and good linen and towels. Good shower but sadly with captive liquid soap. Breakfast is the only meal offered but is extremely good even though there are only two hot dishes for us Northern Europeans. Fresh orange juice (whch is wonderful) is available for a small supplement. Given the fact that there's terrific restuarnt across the road (Gimbres by Oleg), the absnce of full meals provision is not noticed. There's s nice lobby bar.

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.

This hotel is inland about 20 minutes from Faro. An outstanding hotel with staff that really look after you. The bedroom was spacious, south facing and overlooking the pool. Breakfast is mostly continental with some options on how you would like your eggs cooked. It is very quiet, exactly how we wanted it to be after not being abroad on holiday for two years. Usually wonderful evening meals in the restaurant are available but the chef was isolating during our time, except, that is, for Valentines Day when extra staff were drafted in the give us an excellent meal. This place never fails to impress.

Lovely hotel if a bit old fashioned in places. Was able to check in early which was a bonus. Ladies on reception lovely. Room On the 3rd foor overlooking salt plain with afternoon sun. Only 1 lift worked for most of week but didn't cause us any issues. Room nice although the small fridge was in wardrobe cutting down hanging space. Could have done with more drawer space. Water in fridge taking up room but charged if used. Free bottle of water on table on arrival was a nice touch. Room cleaned every day and towels changed if u left them on the floor. Breakfast was good especially the omelette cooked to order. Found that lots of tables were used but seemed to take ages to get cleared away. A couple of the staff just seemed to walk about just picking up the odd thing and not cleared full table. A few times the food was empty but just had to wait for them to get replenish. Lots of sunbeds available might have been due to the high number of golf parties staying at the time. Pool towels available from the spa. Overrun with pigeons although they were putting wires up over the pool while we were there. Pool icy cold only a few brave people went in. Spa pool slightly warmer. Jacuzzi but not very good was expecting bubbles not just a couple of jets. Had to wear shower caps which were 4e each. Bar service long wait to be served needed more staff the two people serving were run off there feet. Tavira was lovely with good choice of restaurants both sides of river. Loved Nikatas just in a little side street but needed to book in advance. Visited the nearby indoor local market lots of fresh fish and veg. Went on the land train which was well worth it if very bumpy over the cobbles. Used the ferry to the beach for a couple of hours. Stunning beach which went on for miles. Fab weather. Would we return... Probably if wanting to visit Tavira again
