My mother and I stayed here for a week. Pros: Breakfast was plentiful, rooms and housekeeping were perfect, reception staff very helpful, pool and beach lovely, shuttle bus to town is great, had a Ayruvedic massage in the spa from a German lady and it was amazing. Cons: Food is insanely overpriced for lunch/dinner and the quality is really nothing... More

Recently returned from a short 4 night break here with my girlfriend (late teens) to wind down after exams. Got a great deal on travel republic and having read the reviews could not have been happier to have booked this hotel. On arrival, sharp check in and as we had an apartment were driven around to it in a caddy... More

We returned from this holiday on 16th May and were disappointed with the hotel. The food was lacking, the room was average with a grubby bath, broken bin in bathroom and the general decor was old or would fall apart on contact. We have stayed in 4 star hotels in Portugal which are better than this. The pools were small... More

Dear guest, We regret that you were disappointed with your stay at the Grande Real Santa Eulália. Whilst we believe that the décor and design of our Lobby and facilities is timeless, we admit that our rooms have a rather classic decoration, still it should be in perfect conditions and not fall apart, as described by you. We regret that... More

Stayed in hotel on BB, breakfast had good selection, staff were if anything a little too eager to clear away plates etc and twice attempted to take my plate away while I was still eating. Not all the bars and dining amenities were open during... More

This is not the best 5-star hotel I have stayed, but it is still a very good hotel for people, like me, who prefer to enjoy the beach and sunshine in a less busy area. The sand at the beach was very fine and I liked the fact that it did not have sharp shells and stones all over like... More
