We have been passing the property for many years on our way to the lovely Barril beach nearby and it was convenient to stay one night this year. Staff were friendly, the price was right and we were not disappointed. Dinner was excellent and also well-priced in a cosy part of the bigger restaurant. The small supermarket on-site had good fresh food and the room well-equipped with kitchenette and bathroom. We would stay again !

The downside - I had the cheapest accommodation; a studio. It was a bit tatty, the beds were incredibly hard and uncomfortable, and there was an ant problem that meant any opened food (even cereal) had to be stored in the fridge. It was very dark, with a north facing patio looking onto a weedy courtyard, and the patio doors couldn’t be opened properly as they jammed on the floor. Hot water in the shower came and went and a wall light stopped working while I was there. The upside - the grounds are lovely. It was quiet when I was there (mid May) and quite often I had the pool to myself. The location was great, a short drive to Tavira, a walk or mini train ride to the beach on the island (which is gorgeous). Staff were really pleasant and helpful. The on-site cafe is nice, I didn’t use the restaurant. The supermarket on site was a bit rubbish with limited opening hours, but there is a proper supermarket five minutes down the road. There’s no free wifi but you can rent a router for €2 a day. Would I stay again? Only if I could afford their better accommodation.

Excellent location
Perfect location to get to the lovely sandy beach. The staff at the resort are very good and professional also speaks very good English. Supermercado and the staff are very friendly and gave me a welcome as they remember me last few years, is ideal when to get something needed. And to get food for dinner at the studio apartment. The facility in the kitchen is very well provided with oven, fridge freezer, microwave oven that I do not use at all do not even have one at home! The view from the apartment is lovely to see the sea and the little train chugging along. The restaurant is excellent this year with new chef grilled gilthead bream and sea bass delicious. The restaurant last year was very disappointing. I will be back again next year and again.

Travelling with Toddler
Upgraded to 2 bedroom apartment which was great with LO. Terrace open onto grass which was fine for us, not so great if your kid likes to escape! Also the stairs down to the apartment were lethal so we used a different route into the apartment. A few injuries sustained from marble table edge (thankfully it was rounded), the sofa bed which had a very hard edge and a slip in the bath but a bath mat was eventually provided on request. Pool is not kiddie friendly. The 'river' (which was broken) is actually a foot bath. LO played in the showers instead. Kitchen relatively well equipped (only small glasses) but oven door gets extremely hot. Full sized dishwasher a little excessive but washing machine was handy. On site supermarket is well stocked, restaurant was fine but ask them to go easy with the oil. Reception staff very helpful especially the lady with a young daughter who gave great advice.

great base to explore Ria Formosa Natural Park
The complex of apartments and villas is well placed to explore Ria Formosa Natural Park, small little villages and is close to the lovely sandy Barril Beach. Reception is staffed 24hrs and my experience is that the staff are very helpful and respond immediately to any queries. It is an older resort, so nothing flashy but I found all working well, basic appliances and kitchen equipment, beds comfy and daily room service fine. With beach so near and bus stop for buses into nearer towns or south Algarve I enjoy not needing a hire car. Also easy to hire bicycles. Loved being able to walk along the sea side to Santa Luzia in the evening and enjoy al fresco meals in the restaurants at the sea front. They serve the freshest local fish and great wines. We went as a group to the restaurant A Casa and the octopus and seafood dishes there were praised by the foodies.

Good base for birdwatching trip out of season
I had 5 days there out of season to explore the Ria Formosa coast and a further trip up into the Algarve Hills around Barranco do Velho, which was easily accessed via Tavira and Sao Bras d' Alpotil. The N125 runs right along the coast, and Pedras is just off this. From here i got to Castro Marim, Quinta Marim and Olhao easily inside around 35 minutes, but travelling early in the morning. Parking is usually available outside the apartments, but it's a big site, and lost some time driving about trying to work out the block/apartment numbering system, which i assume has evolved as the place has grown.

Disappointing
Unfortunately Pedras del Rae has seen better days, the accomodation is very basic, rooms damp and poorly heated. We upgraded to an apartment for 4 people but the kitchen equipment wasn't sufficient for self catering, only a microwave and 2 electric hobs, no oven,kettle or wine glasses and cork screw. It really does require a lot of investment to bring it up to standard.

Good value with access to the beach
We were upgraded from a studio to a very nicely equipped one bedroom apartment. It's not a hotel, but rather a unique neighborhood of homes and condo units around a central reception area about 2 km from the nearest town. We stayed an extra night.

A very pleasant holiday location
We had a very enjoyable time in Pedras D'el Rei,the rooms are very clean & comfortable & the whole complex (pool & grounds)are kept very clean & the staff are very friendly and helpful especially with directions etc, we enjoyed the short train ride to & from Barril Beach which is outstandingly beautiful, if you didn't want to travel away from this complex during your stay there is everything you would need to have a great holiday onsite i.e a small supermarket, pool, bar, restaurant & games area & plenty to see within walking distance

Vey quiet relaxing,
The place is large and spread out over a large area, we arrived in the dark and had great difficulty finding our accommodation, poor dim lighting did not help. The bars and restaurants were well looked after by excellent staff, food was good and nothing was any trouble. If you don't have a car then you are limited with what you can do. The surrounding towns are good and well catered for with food, bars, and shopping. The local beach was very good clean, easy to access via a small train. Plenty of facilities there.

Amazing Portugal holiday!
Really nice hotel in the algarve, staff so friendly and very accommodating. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained by staff. It's always worthy paying for the superior flat , great vire and outdoor wear! Only disappointing bits were the beds- very uncomftable and the so called satellite tv with 4 channels- although you don't always watch it on holiday it would be nice to have either bbc world news or CNN like last time. The pool is amazing and the bar is great! Really relaxed environment . You should definetly try it out!

Oh so quiet. ...
Pedras del Rei is a sprawling complex of villas and apartments set in lush gardens. It is somewhat the worse for wear and in need of external maintenance. However the apartment we rented was very clean and reasonably well equipped. No kettle though. Main problem was a lack of natural light and damp hard beds. But it was Winter and I'm sure that in Summer the place has a different feel. We seemed to be the only guests too. Restaurant on site has a great atmosphere (roaring log fire and good service) but a bit pricey. Good location for walking and Barril beach is excellent.

Hotel and villas set in superb grounds
Hotel and the grounds are great, The train ride with free tickets to the beach from the hotel is very interesting. lovely beach for people who like the to sunbath and some good places to eat. Santa Luzi is a very quiet but with a bus leaving the hotel makes it very easy to get into Tavira, We had hired a car and had a made short trips to Monte Gordo near the Spanish border and down to Olhao. we had a luxury apartment and the equipment in the kitchen even included a washer and dishwasher All in all a lovely holiday, the hotel is perfect for families will go again

Hugely over-priced
Pedras d'el rei's huge advantage is it's location beside Barril beach. The grounds of Pedras are beautiful with its white-washed houses and apartments, trees and plants. It's a very relaxing place. But the accommodation is extremely basic. Even the superior apartments, which are hugely over-priced, are basic. The supermarket in Pedras is a rip-off. Prices for many items are three or four times what you'd pay at home. They need to upgrade their accommodation and lower their prices so the traveller gets a fair deal.
