The staff are very effecient and friendly. Forget the moans about breakfast - for goodness sake you are on the continent - heaps of fresh fruit, a... More

We booked this weeks holidays with Thomson after excellent communications from the hotel team - mainly Sergio, who was able to confirm that the outdoor pool had reasonable access into it for disabled visitors and that the beach had a boardwalk which was fine. We had requested a room that got the sun all afternoon as my husband would have... More

This was our second year at Dom Joao and we intend going back next year. The staff are very professional and friendly and the Hotel is very clean. We had the choice of 5 great golf courses all belonging to the Pestana group. Drinks are a bit pricey and the breakfast whilst adequate could do with some more imagination. We... More

This is a good base. The hotel is quite clean and the grounds are beautiful though the pool looks rather manky and in need of either a coat of paint or a good clean...it was also very cold... the decking on the terrace by the restaurant was in need of a bit of tlc as it was pealing and very...

We are return visitors to this hotel, we travelled with a toddler. This hotel is not very suitable for toddlers, a lot of steps. This is two very small lifts so at peak times you could be waiting a while to get to a different floor. We lost an item of clothing in the spa and with the language difficulties... More

This is a lovely hotel but is spoiled by the pathetic breakfasts. The coffee was not hot. It wasn't too bad for me as I drink it black but the lads who had milk described it as cold. For some strange reason bacon and beans were only available every other day and on the days off were not supplemented by... More
