Costa Alentejana, Portugal hotel rooms at the Independent

"Clean room | Staff | Pool | Parking All superb "

"This was a pretty nice hotel. It was very convenient for my purposes and had great views. It is a smaller 'business' hotel (only 2 floors of rooms) but they had a nice easy access parking garage, a fabulous bar and restaurant and it was very close to a gorgeous beach and historic castle! I would have given this hotel all 5 stars, but the room I was in had a musty smell that I could NOT pinpoint. It drove me nuts. It was so foul that I needed to move rooms but it was definitely noticeable. The staff wasn't the friendliest, but they were helpful. The restaurant and bar staff were spectacular! The food was amazing! If you're passing through this town and need a place to stay, I'd definitely recommend it. I just hope you don't get the 'musty' room. LOL"

"Great Stay at this hotel, I was on a business trip and it was very comfortable"

"I drove up to the beach and saw this hotel. Its in an absolute perfect location. I first booked 1 night and booked 2 more after. A few restaurants around, plenty of parking. John at the front desk was great! I would stay in this hotel again."

"Lovely resort in a modern design and a unique spot close to the beach. We stayed in a partial view double room and had amazing views, and housekeeping left a small treat each night at the turn down service which was a really nice touch. The breakfast was really lovely and worth adding on. The pools could have been kept a little warmer (we were there in the last week of Apr). Staff are lovely and try very hard though bear in mind everything in Portugal is slower paced if you are coming from bigger cities. Some lovely restaurants on site but also in nearby Sagres and Vila do Bispo. Thoughtfully designed for families with children. Caters to lots of activities including tennis, padel, road cycling etc "

"Great breakfast. Nice and clean rooms. Relaxing vibe."

"You could only see the beach if you were standing. I got the 3rd largest room and it was small. Food was good"

"Can you get a softer mattress?"

"Only stayed overnight. Mid April hotel was quiet. Room overlooked pool. Beautiful. Location ideal to explore area by foot. Breakfast delightful. "
