First holiday overseas since Jan.2020

Check in was quick.Suite overlooking gardens was fine.All clean and tidy.Serviced every day.Bath robes are getting old.Soap was good quality. Friendly chamber maid. Breakfast was good apart from hot buffet.It is luke warm and never hot.Sausages are too small and the bacon looks disgusting. Some staff very grumpy. Bar was ok in the evenings.Never open during the day.Live music was very poor. Almost every second day all glasses and debris from night before lay on the bar until early afternoon.Poor and not 4 star standard. The steam room was broken 4 times during my stay.Sauna also broken 1 day. This was our third stay at this hotel.I feel services etc were better in the past.

Nice little break away

Myself and my wife visited from 3rd - 8th October. On arrival our check in was very swift and smooth, the lady on reception was nice and helpful giving us all the details for the hotel. Our room was very nice, it looked like it had recently been updated. The balcony view overlooking the ocean was really nice. Room was cleaned everyday and the cleaning staff were really pleasant. Hotel facilities were pretty good all around. The pools were kept really well, plenty of sun beds all around and even beds were available on the grass areas which was a great idea. The beach was only 50 metres away which was great. Breakfast was included in our package and we enjoyed it every morning. The freshly made omelettes were really nice!! The spa was superb also, both myself and my wife got a massage and the lady Sofia was really nice and professional. Would definitely recommend this. A few little things that I would complain about. There was no snacks available from the pool bar, not even crisps or peanuts, had to go into the restaurant or down to the beach restaurant for lunch. Also the lobby bar was kind of hit and miss, the bar staff always seemed to be a bit withdrawn and grumpy. We didn’t spend too much time there. The pool towels had seen better days and were a bit tattered in places. Other than these few things I would definitely recommend staying here and we will hopefully return here in 2022.…

Lovely views, rooms a little small

We were transferred to this hotel after a horrific experience at Alvor Praia. We had a much better stay at Dom Joao - it's actually clean at least! Lovely views and breakfast options were good - although the queues did get quite long. The rooms could be a little bigger but otherwise a good stay.

Ready to book again

Another fantastic stay at the Dom Joao all very covid safe. The staff are very friendly and efficient the hotel clean and benefitting from a makeover. We were blessed with glorious weather so we used the large outdoor pool and garden frequently. We managed breakfast most mornings which had a great selection I must agree with previous reviews the hot breakfast buffet was a little cold and does need more heat under it but all in all a lovely holiday in a idyllic location

Back again for the 10th time. We always enjoy it.

The hotel has had a facelift inside and we stayed for 3 weeks this time. I had some difficulty with my membership number so booked through Expedia for the same price the hotel was offering. I had to make two bookings for the three weeks as it looked full for the last two days but I think cancellations made it available just before we came so booked a sea view. The carpets decoration in the lift halls and circulating areas are very nice and as always the views from the upper floors is wonderful. Most staff and especially the cleaning staff and those on breakfast reception are lovely. Special mention to Raquel who was on both reception and breakfast sometimes and always pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is pretty much the same as the past with personal tongs to save multiple handling but no champagne for the same reasons but COVID control aside is pretty much bedlam. The fruit is lovely and became our staple starter and the usual toast and cheeses and cold meats were fine. The cooked buffet not so good with occasionally finding some hot food but mostly it was lukewarm and sausage wee Willie winkie type hot dogs which I never enjoy. We spent a lot of time at the pool which was a bit cold but mostly pleasant in the heat. There were staff around and option to change towels every day. One criticism is the cleanliness around the pool which could have been better with spilled drinks from the night before along with masks and old towels and masks left from days before all attracting flies which became a pest when sunbathing. It would also have been good to sweep the areas in front of the toilets to remove small stones and fruit from trees more regularly as most in bare feet found it a bit sore to walk on. There are showers around the pool and a couple in the toilet changing area along with a few changing cubicles. The gents was cleaned regularly and fine but my wife complained about the smell in the ladies. The hotel is a pleasant walk to Alvor either using the walkway or road and so many choices and places to eat. Capacho and Steak on the Stone among our favourites but so many we ate in a different place most nights. Taxis are plentiful and about €5 into town. Buses are on the doorstep though timing can be 20-30 minutes late but only €4.30 to Lagos each way. We took the water taxi from Alvor to Lagos for €25 each for the return and well worth the journey to see fishermen windsurfers and water sports along the coast. The hotel is full of golfers as usual and it’s what attracted us all those years ago with multiple nationalities but most were courteous and pleasant though some didn’t want to share a lift even when wearing masks (which up till this week was compulsory. We still have a few days to go but overall a lovely place to stay and hope the criticism is constructive to help make our next stay even better.…
