Algarve, Portugal hotel rooms at the Highgate Independent

"Cascade Wellness Resort was a major disappointment and nowhere near what I would consider a true high-end resort experience. The property feels outdated and overpriced. Once there, you are essentially trapped paying extremely high prices for brunch and dinner, yet the food quality and portions were surprisingly low-end and underwhelming. The service only added to the frustration. Staff were generally did little improve the experience perhaps since you are forced to pay the gratuity despite the actual service provided. Even basic expectations were missed — including the lack of accessible coffee options, which is hard to believe for a resort positioning itself as luxury. Overall, the value simply does not match the pricing or branding. There is no way this should be considered a luxury resort experience."

"Most amazing staff all around. Beautiful hotel We highly recommend it "

"Good location, nice breakfasts, beach view! "

"Amazing staff, clean and spacious rooms."

"Staff very warm and helpful. Excellent breakfast, parking availability, location. Property could use a painting upgrade. Would be a good place to rent a suite for an extended stay."

"Belmar was beautiful! It was the last stay on our trip and we enjoyed the splurge. The pool and spa facilities were really nice. Really liked our massages and the staff was friendly. The drinks and bites we got at the bar were also delicious. "

"The resort does an amazing job of making it feel both family friendly and peaceful. There are separate (families/ adults only) breakfast areas, kids zones, pools etc. The service is outstanding. Great cocktails and food. Best breakfast."
