Find Resorts & Hotels with Spas in Barlavento

Joana was great at check in and booked a wine tasting for us. Everyone was so wonderful!

Great hotel for families. Pool was big and beach access very easy. Buffet breakfast had a great variety.

Impressive property with fantastic views and location!

Very comfortable hotel with beautiful manicured grounds. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. Breakfast buffet was superb. Only problem was a lack of local restaurants in easy walking distance, encouraging visitors to visit the resort restaurants which were mediocre and expensive.

Went in off season which was perfect 70 degree weather and super quiet. Unbelievable for the low price !!! Great for a family

The building has a lot of charm. Plants, flowers and classic Portuguese interior design. It feels you are in a farmhouse, not in a hotel. The breakfast was great with so many options. The attic room where we stayed was so spacious, with a huge bathroom and a private terrace. I'd point out that they gave us combined twin beds and not a queen/king bad, which wasn't ideal. Also, the listing mention that they have three pools which is not true. There is only one pool available. The other images are...

Excellent hotel and great service

this is the 5th time that we stayed at Vilalara...this says something. We come here for the fantastic Thalasso spa and its great staff (multi lingual and so friendly), the most beautiful settings, the most unique gardens, the six pools, the direct access to their wonderful beach and also the location (easy to to reach). We spent a happy sojourn of 12 days and are ready to come back next year. Compared to ours previous experiences when Accor managed the place we had the feeling that there is...

What a gem this place ended up being. Owner and his son were super welcoming and even had their dog laying around. Room was very large, and the scenic view from our room was incredible. The beach attached to the back of the property was a bit difficult to get down to, but that didn’t stop us from climbing down there to get the full experience. Walking around the property to the adjoining beaches was also super enjoyable. No complaints whatsoever, would stay here 10/10 times we come back to...

Breakfast had such a great variety and everything was delicious! The set up of the b&b were great and it was a very clean location. Staff was wonderful and extremely nice and accommodating. The only thing is that the room did get quite humid/moist, but if you keep the window opens it helps. We would absolutely stay there again!

This hotel was wonderful !! The property is gorgeous and the beach is stunning! The hotel is very well kept, super clean, and well organized. The restaurants are great. Breakfast buffet was great options and quality and dinner options were amazing. Cocktails are the best! Properly made not just syrup. The pools were clean and actually heated. My kids loved playing. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at White Shell Beach Villas in the Algarve! It was the perfect place for our family, especially with our 2.5 year old, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our room was spotless, and having a washing machine in the unit was incredibly helpful during our eight day stay, especially with daily trips to the beach and pool. The staff were exceptional, warm, welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. I also enjoyed several spa services, which were...

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this 5-star resort! It is the type of place I look forward to returning to. Super safe and peaceful property with trustworthy employees. The staff really go out of their way to be kind and we felt each of them did an excellent job! The hotel room had a thoughtful design with plenty of space for two. I enjoyed that the toilet was in a different room than the shower. As we were there a week, I also found the large closet system well designed. I...

Beautiful area. Wonderful landscaping. Clean pool. Modern appliances. Friendly service.

Nice property. Great rooms. Beautiful view, if you get a beach/water view room. We had reserved a non-water view. Asked for upgrade at check in. Got the upgrade but had to pay more money, thought that was a perk with Expedia VIP, but wasn't. Nice bar area with good views and decent food. The upscale restaurant was good, but pricy. No restaurants next to hotels for food options. 15 Min walk or very short drive is the local village was is very tourist oriented and has lots of restaurants.

The hotel is well located, very walkable, and very convenient- it is right across from the bridge to the marina for tours and very walkable to a range of shops and restaurants. There are very limited hotel parking spots, but there are two parking lots within 1-2 blocks that always had spots in at least one of them if not both and there is free parking right across the pedestrian bridge at the marina. The rooms are clean and nice. The buffet is amazing. Everyone was friendly. I felt safe as a...

Nice villa and absolutely beautiful area in a walking distance. Tasty and fassionable breakfast

The staff were so friendly, responsive and kind. We cannot say enough about them. One of our crew dropped their passport in a small town on one of the days we were out and about - creating a very stressful experience. The people all around us during this event were so concerned and helped us to call local police departments to locate it. We were so grateful. While extremely elegant, the vibe is welcoming. The rooms are absolutely perfect. My suggestions are to improve and diversify the culinary...
