Cabo de Santa Maria Island, Portugal hotel rooms at the Pousadas de Portugal

"Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms, facilities and restaurants are super clean and comfortable. Lovely atmosphere--This hotel is Oasis in oldtown Faro. We had a great time, thank you! "

"Rooms were enormous, beautiful, comfortable. Fabulous with families. One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in for a long time. Great variety at breakfast and staff all went above and beyond. "

"Rooms were very clean and spacious. Not overly busy (which we preferred). Close to the beautiful beach. Staff were always friendly and accommodating. Would love to go back. "

"The previous reviews left us with no expectations of what to expect but the staff, room and property exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful stay and would stay at this hotel again. "

"The service, amenities and location was excellent! The breakfast buffet was fantastic. We enjoyed seeing the sun rise each morning on the balcony. The beach was close proximity to the hotel. "

"Lovely selection of food. Very well presented. Very clean and efficient staff. Clean room although some items were missed."

"We have stayed here many times. It is a lovely hotel. This stay lived up to and even exceeded expectations. Everything was first class. The welcome when we arrived, the staff at the dado pool and at breakfast were all very friendly and professional. We have been here twice this year and can’t wait to return again in the spring."

"Lovely hotel - we spent 5 nights there as a family of 4 to celebrate my wife’s 50th. Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They gave her a personal card and made her a birthday cake and the whole staff inc the management came to our table to wish her well - it was a lovely moment. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff work tirelessly to clean and maintain throughout the day. The work ethic is very clear and you get the feeling that everyone who works there cares about what they do and takes pride in it - something you don’t often see at other hotels or at bigger name brands. Our 2 bed apartment was really comfortable and well appointed. We had half board and the food was really excellent and worthy of 4 stars or more. Great selection at breakfast inc made to order omelettes etc. There was a different theme of food every night and as well as the buffet, there was live cooking to order of various fish and meats. Very good value addition to our booking. Our teenage kids were also allowed to order from the a la carte menu up to a very reasonable value as part of half board if they couldn’t see anything they wanted on the buffet. Only slight gripe was the very cold temperature of the outside pools but other than that all the outside spaces were really delightful. Easy walk to a nearby village area with a Spar shop and bars and walking distance to the marina. It’s such a nice place, food amazing and people incredible- we would definitely go back!! "

"We enjoyed our stay at the Navigator. Anderson at the front desk was very pleasant and really helpful. The location was perfect to the beach and restaurants. Rooms are very new and clean. The only glitch was intermittent wifi. "
