Thanks to some positive reviews on Tripadvisor I chose this hotel on Easy Jet holidays for a short break. It was glorious and relaxing. Out of season (Easter) meant there was no hotel entertainment and the weather a little chilly but sunny. I had one day at the beach which is a 10 min walk down the road or across... More

Stayed here for a week with my husband and 7 year old daughter. Our room was clean and tidy and cleaned 6 days out of the week which was great. The room was acceptable in size, but the overall apartment was looking a bit worn and tired. The kitchen area had sufficient facilities to cook, although it would have been... More

We stayed here on a half board basis. The room was spacious and although clean, was not cleaned on the Sunday and after 5pm on the other days. This meant an afternoon nap was out of the question. The kitchen was fully equipped even though we were half board. The reception staff were very helpful and all but one (older... More

My partner and I booked this hotel for a week from 1st April this year, we are only just back from it and I must say it was a great hotel, the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The rooms were a little dated but well stocked out, there is a tv with a few English channels,... More

I was traveling with my Mother, who was staying for one month (I only stayed for 2 weeks). We had a very large apartment - 2 bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, dining area and living room, also a very large patio area. The hotel went to a lot of effort to make sure everyone was happy with their room... More

My wife and I booked a week for the beginning of March and we were really happily surprized by how good this resort is. Estrela Do Vau is located between Alvor (3miles) and Praia De Rocha (2miles). The nearest beach is a 10 mins downhill walk and when the tide is in, it is a beautiful cove but when the... More

This hotel was perfect for us. We found for the price we paid it was excellent. The food was not glamorous but tasted great. We had half board and were very happy with the selection for children and adults. Some nights they had duck and the fish was great. Fight for the chocolate desert though! I usually stay in 5*...
