We stayed in a 2-bed, 2-bath apartment on a self-catering basis. The hotel was very quiet being October/November. The rooms were very spacious and modern and very well equipped, however we had several power cuts to our room when we attempted to use the oven & hob at the same time, BUT we were offered the apartment directly across the... more

We had a huge 3 bed apartment (1 bed was ensuite) 3 balconies, huge kitchen with kettle, microwave, fridge, cooker, tea towels and... more

We usually have a very open mind when it comes to our accommodation. Usually, we make sure we book at least 4 T/Sun/Stars, but allocated on arrival, so we know its good, but surprised at where we get. However, Thomas Cook was offering a very good price, so we booked this named. It had some mixed reviews on here, and... more

Myself and my husband stayed for a week with our 2 children.

Myself and my boyfriend have just returned from a 2 week holiday at Estrela Do Vau. I was a little apprehensive about this hotel after reading mixed reviews but was very plesantly surprised. The hotel itself looks stunning from the outside, the pictures do not do it justice, both of us felt very smug getting off the airport transfer bus.... more

We just returned from a one week stay at this hotel, and I was very surprised considering the good reviews we had read about this place. I'm not sure how it received a 4 star rating. Upon arrival to this hotel, even though we asked for a non smoking room as one of our travelers has an allergy to smoke,... more
