Sao Bartolomeu de Messines Vacations from $690

Everything. Staff was exceptional, the room was spacious and bright with a nice balcony. Close to everything.

The stay was amazing! Joana at the front desk was super helpful. Ana at the spa gave an amazing massage. The property is beautiful and very clean. The room was spacious and was very comfortable.

We stayed at Palmares Signature apartments a week with our 2 boys. The property is beautiful, modern, unique concept, great furniture, partial sea views from the terrace, fully stocked kitchen ( cuttlery, glasses, cups, pots and pans although we have not eaten in the apartment). The two rooms are connected thru a short outdoor hallway which offers privacy between the master/living room and the second room. The restaurant views are stunning. Cleaning staff were wonderful, always on time and did a great job. You need a car as Lagos is 12 min away. Unfortunately some things didn’t go smoothly hence the rating. The A/C in the main living area hasn’t worked. The room temp hovered around 25 until it fully died, leaking on the floor. Staff have offered to move us to a new room ( lower floor though) that had the same broken A/C. As the A/C was still working in the bedrooms we decided to not move.They brought a noisy portable A/C for living room with towels spread on the floor to contain the leak. The water was lukewarm until the last day when it was raised to a comfortable temperature. The breakfast was good quality, decent assortment but every day the same. After 7 days it got repetitive. The beds were not as comfortable as we were expecting from a resort of such caliber. There is construction at the property although they try to contain it. The windows are great at protecting the units from the construction noise. All in all was not the experience we were hoping for.

The location and room and amenities and staff were amazing! The resort is a well run operation with staff that are very supportive and able to answer. Any questions you have. The breakfast buffet was definitely a five star feature and while we were only able to stay for a couple of days we would definitely go back there again and recommend to others. We did have a car rental so we’re able to venture out further than the local area but if you didn’t, you could still walk to the three or four feature beaches to see the caves and grotto that are nearby. A highlight of our 15 day vacation!
