São Rafael Holidays

Perfect!

Nice and elegant, situated not so far from Albufeira, it's necessary to have a car. The apartment has large rooms, is very clean. beautiful 2 bathrooms (1 big and 1 small ) Breakfast is not included you have to book it the day before at the reception. One small swimming pool. there is a terrace where you can have breakfast ( I love dining outdoors too) Free Parking in front of your apartment. I reccomend it for family and business trip, Albuferia is not so far and is very nice for young people, many places playing music, also live music.

Great location. Great team. Clean spot. Everything you need. Would recommend this to families or couples. Near the beach and a pool. Close to the marina and restaurants. Quiet location. Easy to get to nearby Albufeira. Front desk were very helpful and welcoming.

This is a lovely place to stay! 15min walk to the Marina! 30min walk to Albufeira. If you’re not fit enough to walk a taxi is £10 into Old town. The staff at the Guesthouse are absolutely amazing! They can’t do enough for you. Very appreciative of their help during our stay. Considering our holiday booking company messed loads of things up the ladies here were amazing! Sorted us a taxi back to the airport! Bought decaf coffee from home everything was such a nice touch! Thanks for making our stay memorable!

To say this place was awful is all I can do after my personal experience there recently, I certainly would never book to stay there again or recommend it. I booked a double room in their Guest House part of the complex. * The Reception is only open certain hours. You are supposed to be able to contact them outside those hours but I had to call them a couple of times and got no answer or help. It’s really impersonal and there’s no one around when you need them. * There is no facility to make hot drinks in your room. There was a bottle of water. You have to go to the breakfast room where a vending machine serves terrible quality drinks. You don’t want to have to walk around the hotel first thing in the morning to get hot drinks. *Room 521 was right by the door into reception and was noisy all night with people banging through into the corridor to get to their rooms. * The space immediately outside of the double windows in my room opened out on to the terrace for people sitting having breakfast. This was horrible and gave no privacy into the room at all. Thankfully it was raining but had it been sunny I would have had people sitting right up by my only window in the room. * They have waterproof mattress protectors on the bed which made it feel like you were sleeping wrapped in tin foil it was so hot and it crackled loudly every time you moved. * Pillows were either absolutely enormous and too big to put your head on or so flat and small they were useless. * No bathmat provided for the floor while showering, bit of a safety concern and I had to use a pool towel. No where to hang towels in the bathroom when you’ve used them…it was all just lacking in thought. * No waste bin in the bedroom * Horrid yellow lights in the room * It’s very dark and depressing inside. * Bright light over the door to highlight where the door was in the night but it lit the room up through the night making it hard to ignore and sleep. * Breakfast is only available from 8.30am which is very late. It was poor, stale bread and dirty jars with cereal in with a very poor selection of foods. Overall this was poor quality, grim and depressing and absolutely not worth the cost.
