8.2/10 Very Good! (207 reviews)

Really lovely hotel. Although there was a clothes shop within the hotel it would have been good to have a small convenience store for water, snacks or even a vending machine. Although drinks and snacks were available at the pool bar, they were expensive. Also didn’t like that a service charge was added at every single transaction. The reception staff were extremely helpful. Nothing was too much bother. In particular when my son got badly sunburnt, I had asked about a nearby chemist but they were kind enough to give me cream which worked wonders. The location is out a bit from any sort of bars/shops. However it was only a 15 minute walk and the Ubers were very reasonable. If you are looking for a relaxing, slow paced break away from the hustle and bustle or a keen golfer this is a great hotel to stay at!

Popular places to visit

We spent the day at Praia Da Rocha. The beaches of Portugal are amazing! Not to be missed. The rock formations are truly remarkable. A perfect place to enjoy a day at the beach!

Praia da Alagoa

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Praia da Alagoa during your trip to Castro Marim? Stroll along the beaches in this relaxing area, or seek out the golf courses.

Ilha de Cabanas is one of six barrier islands along the Ria Formasa which runs 60km from Faro to Manta Rota and makes up 18,400 hectares of protected nature reserve.
.
To reach the beach you have to take a boat from Cabanas, most hotels provide a boat service or you can catch a water taxi from the boardwalk. And then there is a 5-10min walk along a paving stone path through the marshland.

It can get windy, as you can see from this couple sheltering under their parasol. Watch out for sand burn!

The beach stretches as far as you can see, excellent for a long walk along the shore with waves lapping at your feet - one of my favourite pastimes.

I was here in early May and the beach was practically deserted, by 4pm I had this section of beach to myself. Further up the beach, closer to where the water taxi drop off an pick up there are sun loungers, parasols and a cafe bar.
I have heard the boats can get pretty busy in peak tourist times, but the journey is only about 5 minutes each way so you shouldn't have to wait too long.
