Beja Holidays

The hotel was lovely, however the spa and outside areas all need a bit of a facelift.

This is a very unique property with a lovely hostess, Dolly. It’s small and intimate with only room for 5 families. The view from the terrace is spectacular and the beach is convenient. The rooms are very clean, large and comfortable. You can tell that Dolly takes pride in providing a good experience for guests. She cares!! There are however a lot of protocols which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Every guest has 2 lounge chairs with cushions, 2 chairs without cushions and a large umbrella for shade, which is very necessary. However, cushions are picked up at 7pm but it’s light until close to 9pm. We wanted to sit outside much longer but the wooden lounge & chairs were not comfortable for me without the cushions. We ended up going back to our room earlier than we wanted where the most comfortable place to sit was the bed. Also, you had to order your breakfast a day in advance including the time you wanted to eat. We found this a bit difficult as we sometimes want to sleep in or not. It would have been easier to have a window of time where you could get up when you wanted. I would have liked to use the pool but it was too cold for me, although my husband enjoyed it. I don’t think it was heated other than by the sun, but that is me and might not be an issue for others. All in all, this is a very nice place and offers a less crowded experience than the hotels in a super busy tourist area. I would recommend it for that and the very personal attention from Dolly.

Perfect location with easy walking access to all. Theres a delicious inexpensive restaurant right across the street. Other restaurants you can walk to as well, and the town is perfect and not too crowded and overrun, like some of the other Algarve areas. The beach and Algar Seco are approx 10minutes walk away. The room was clean and had all the amenities we needed. the room has an air conditioning unit. Very nice terrace just outside the room. The room is Nicely updated and attractive looking. It was a quiet. It had a nice looking pool although we didnt use it. The area is safe and the building is quiet as well. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a small problem with the toilet and it was fixed by the time we returned that day! Plenty parking spots. We would definitely stay here again.
