Lovely stay . We were there on a weekday and it was so quiet and calm which we loved. We were able to Uber to old town and the strip. The room was very clean and spacious. Comfy beds. We got a room with a patio and side beach view which was very worth it. The breakfast was convenient but not my favorite.

Hotel was great though as other reviews have mentioned, the gym and the sun loungers are tired. The pool area would be improved with new furniture. The multi-gym machine is basically not functioning. Rooms are spacious and sea view with massive balcony was one of the best features. Possibly a lounger could be added and the wooden chairs in 212 would have benefited with seat and back cushioning. Breakfast was great and up there with best in our experience. The selection was more than adequate and having a freshly cooked (hot) breakfast was better than cold bacon and sausages typically found in buffet style trays. We ate some hot snacks in hotel too for lunch which we both enjoyed. In the evening we ventured out to various eateries around the hotel and found a variety of restaurants which will appeal to different budgets. The area Sao Rafael is quite affluent and the villas and hotels in immediate area all appear to be very high end. The area to me felt very safe and quiet. I didn’t expect as many restaurants within 15 min walk so we only ventured down to Marina and Old Town for food on a couple of occasions. Bolt taxi to old town square was charged at €3.50 (economy taxi max3 passengers) Walk to marina is 15 mins though there is a hill on way down and funnily enough on return 😀 I’m scoring the Maritur an 8 overall. Seems to be the consensus and they might be ok with that. For a little investment in pool area and gym, they would easily be a 9.

What a hotel! Really liked the decor in the room and in the lobby. The breakfast was delicious, they cooked you a full English up when you request at the chefs Kitchen area. The outside could do with a bit of work, I.E the wall by the pool could be glass to add extra class to it and front needs more trees and plants. That's my only flaw with this Hotel the rest is amazing. The indoor pool is what you expect with a 5 star hotel, as they have a hot tube secluded in the corner, which you control the jets yourself. The room was very clean, bed was comfy and the bathroom was outstanding. The location was only a short walk from 3 outstanding beaches, a few local bars and restaurants. It was only a 20 minute was to the maria as well! Will definitely be staying at this hotel again.

We spend a long time looking for the right hotel. Maritur ticked most of our boxes because it is: adults only, not many rooms, not in a town, close to beaches, on a bus route, walking distance to marina and old town, local Portuguese restaurants nearby. We only had breakfast at the hotel but their prices were comparable with most of the restaurants nearby. The area Soa Rafael is very pleasant to. There was a good choice for breakfast but the tea/coffee/etc was from a machine (powdered coffee/cocoa/milk); I assume to reduce costs. The outdoor pool was nice but I seemed to be the only one swimming in it the week I was there. In door pool was not heated but little difference in temperature from the outside pool. Made use of the laundry room which was a reasonable cost. The staff are very friendly, from the reception staff, dinning staff and cleaners. If you walk to the marina walk the 'back' route (the road that runs along the wall where the outdoor pool is) and turn right at the old cork-oak onto the unsurfaced road. Much nicer than going alone the main road. If you like to eat out I suggest walking to The Sunshine Restaurant.

Wonderful Stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Maritur. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was perfectly situated as our base as we explored the Algarve, nicely secluded from the hustle and bustle but close enough to be in walking distance to many lovely beaches and restaurants. I would recommend hiring a car to stay and visit this area to get the full experience, the car park at the hotel is free and very safe.

From the first contact to the last, the personnel members at the hotel were pleasant, professional and helpful. The room was immaculate. The included breakfast was excellent and diverse. The chef on site to cook eggs, pancakes, sausage was a welcomed addition. We enjoyed our stay and have no hesitation recommending it.

Resort was really quiet, perfect for what we wanted. It was situated in a very quiet area and had to get a taxi to the closest restaurants. Mini market about 400m away has next to nothing. I would suggest downloading It’s My Ride app, free of charge but will need to pay taxis by card (contactless). Indoor pool was being filled up for first two days of the trip, jacuzzi spa wasn’t working. Water feature on indoor pool didn’t work for the duration of our stay. Wouldn’t recommend the restaurant for dinner as we waited for a long time on both occasions we ate in the evening - however breakfast was incredible each day. The room was basic but perfect and you’re able to smoke on your balcony. Would highly recommend going to the marina for dinner in the Italian restaurant - €4 to get to the marina at 7pm

Very impressed with the hotel. We booked as it was adult only. Managed to find a baby sitter, so thought we would treat ourselves. :D Cannot say enough good things about the hotel, facilities were great, food was great, we had bed and breakfast, but paid for a lunch and dinner, which was worth every penny. The hotel is about a 30min walk from the old town, (which is an amazing place) or about a ten minute taxi trip. We used Uber and cost between 4 and 6 Euros (different every time for some reason). Will definitely be visiting again.
