Bela Vista Hotel & Spa - Relais & Chateaux

Excellent service, beautiful grounds, lovely accommodations. Check-in process was simple and Eduardo was most friendly and professional. The tour of the property was appreciated. Breakfast was outstanding. Excellent location with restaurants and shops nearby

We had an outstanding experience at this property! The location is perfect, offering breathtaking views of the sea and beach from our room. While the room itself was on the smaller side, we spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful outdoors, so it wasn't a concern for us. Highly recommend this place for its excellent service and stunning surroundings!

This exclusive hotel surpassed our expectations in every way. The building itself is really charming and special. It’s fully restored with lovely historic details. Used to be the first hotel in the Algarve. Service is also truly exceptional. We received personalized attention at check in, taken to the lounge in one of the beautifully maintained historic spaces in the building to conduct the check in process in private and in comfort, and offered a welcome drink. The housekeeping service is outstanding, with second round/turn down service providing fresh towels, water, etc., as needed. Immaculate cleanliness. What a perk at a time when most hotels only offer service once every 3 days. The rest of the staff are also remarkable. They cater to every need. We felt like royalty. The breakfast was amazing. Probably the best I’ve had included at a hotel, and with so many options. Private stairs down to the beach. Beautiful heated pool adjacent to outdoor bar, and dining area for lunch and breakfast. Lovely decorated room. We stayed in the Blue House and had a view of the beach. Blue house only has a handful of rooms so very quiet. We didn’t hear people coming and going. Room 302 was small but adequate. Large double sink bathroom with large walk in shower. Since our room was on the beach side we didn’t hear the street noise which was loud. Gates to get in and out of the property so very secure. Only negative was our beach view contained the back side of beach restaurants which had graffiti so not a good view at all. Still, probably worth it being in that building and on that side for the quiet. Overall, DEFINITELY recommend staying here. Must dine at Vista while here! Worth the $.
