Big buffet breakfast included was delicious, staff was friendly. Only thing keeping it from getting a perfect score is the mold in the bathroom tiles, very uncomfortable beds, and the sofa stain (or at least I hope it was soda) on the ceiling of the room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sergio 16 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Hotel Hotel is in a good quiet location close to Carvoeiro and other beach attractions in the area. Easy parking and in good conditions althought some areas would need renovations. Pool is nice and kept clean. Superior room was recently renovated and of a good size with balcony/ side seaview. Restaurant is probably the area that would benefit of some improvements on quality and variety at breakfast and dinner. ##### Sergio Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Comfortable stay We chose the hotel as it is situated at a very nice beach (walking distance). There was also an access to a nice viewing area of the the beach above a cliff. That was a bonus. The room was clean. The wifi was not reaching our room so that was a bummer. The breakfast buffet was excellent - there were ample choices. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea 19 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### It was alright It was basic.

No swimming beaches nearby, and the Benagil caves are now closed. ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### ROHIT 1 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Very poor maintained rooms , washroom door doesn’t lock, bed broke while someone had been sleeping on it and the electric switches were coming out of the wall. ##### ROHIT Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would love to stay again We really enjoyed our stay at Baía Cristal! The location can’t be beat, as it is just a short walk from Centianes beach and the start of the seven hanging valleys trail. Walking the other direction will take you to algar seco and Carvoeiro. Breakfast is included, while not the most inspiring it will provide something for everyone. The real appeal at breakfast is watching the little gray cat play with olives on the pool deck. Rooms are nice, plenty of room to spread out, hangers, a small fridge, and even a sitting area to look out at the water. Some areas of white paint could use a scrub or another layer of paint, but for an ocean view at this price i can deal. We didn’t try the pool, hot tub, or spa, but they looked great. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard 27 May 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our suite had a nice view with awful sulphuric smell. They sent housekeeper to spread some disinfectant which masked didn’t eliminate the odor. They said sorry BUT didn’t offer to change rooms, a drink nothing. I am lifetime Marriot platinum guest attitude & service is important to us. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela 25 Jul 2023 While our room was clean, the common areas of the property were not as clean as expected. Some of the staff were not very friendly, although we did meet a few staff members who were friendly. Some of the pool loungers were in need of repair or replacing. We paid for an ocean view but had a view of a dirty rooftop before the actual ocean view. For the price we paid, we stayed in much nicer hotels for less while on our trip. ##### Angela ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 4 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a really enjoyable six-night stay Hotel Baia Cristal. The pool area was a good size and there were plenty of sun loungers to choose from. More moveable umbrellas may help for those who want to stay out of the sun in the afternoon! Our Superior Double room was of a very high standard and was overlooking the pool area, with a shaded balcony after 4pm. Breakfast was great and had plenty of choice to suit everyone in our party. It is a 20 minute downhill walk from the hotel to the centre and plenty of restaurants and bars. Taxi cost around 5 euros to come back up the hill. The only slight downside was the lack of staff in the bar/pool area and it did sometimes mean quite a wait to be served for lunch/drinks. The staff that were working were very helpful and friendly. All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel and would certainly stay again. ##### Matthew Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### EFFAT 28 Sept 2023 Disliked: Staff & service The was a problem with checking they gave us a room in the old part with No view and no elevator had to climb the steps with our luggage and had a really bad start my wife started crying and couldn’t sleep next morning we begged for a good room they finally gave us a different room in the newer section and wasted time to check in again the room was much better but never forget the start Thank you and regards ##### EFFAT Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia 22 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful hotel with great staff My family loved our stay. My room was big with a cute little porch with beatiful garden views and a nice bath. Breakfast was always excellent with a great selection of Portuguese pastries and cheese. We had breakfast on the outside tables with wonderful views of nature and surrounded by little cute birds. The swimming pools are so inviting and the indoor pool and the jacuzzi is wonderful for people who visited when the whether is still too cold for outside pool or beaches, like us. My only complaint about the indoor pool is that it closes too early, so we didn't have time to enjoy it as we were out sightseeing the Algarve, and about the lack of wall sockets in our room. And last but not least, we so loved the view of the Centeanes beach from the top of a cliff just in front of the hotel! We've got nice pictures of the landscape from there and went down the path on the cliff and had a drink on the bar by the beach (even my 70-year-old father-in-law was able to do that, but be careful! Go by the road if you're not up for an adventure!). Oh, I nearly forgot to say how we enjoyed sunbathing around the pool or the big garden close to the cliffs and the sangria from the bar(had me hooked on that). They also offer massages we couldn't have because they were fully booked already, so book early if you want it! Price was great for all we were offered. All the staff was very friendly. We went to Carvoeiro city centre by foot and it took us less than 20 minutes walking lazily. ##### Patricia Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Prafulkumar 2 Nov 2023 ##### Prafulkumar Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dolores 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The main thing we did not like was the wall outside our room was covered in black bugs, that came into the room when you opened door. We mentioned that to management. When we came back to room we found a can of bug spray? Otherwise, pool area was great. Lovely view. ##### Dolores Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alberto 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me gusto el spa ##### Alberto Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### serge 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Suoer Cadre super et piscine sauna jacuzzi tout est fait pour se détendre 👍 ##### serge Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Eric 8 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Eric Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 6 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Domenico 19 Sept 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities La camera non viene pulita in modo soddisfacente ##### Domenico Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### supannee 8 Sept 2023 ##### supannee Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hello Villas Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Hello-Villas.h16190906.Hotel-Information) > > [Vitors Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vitors-Village.h2008212.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vale-DOliveiras-Quinta-Resort-Spa.h3469019.Hotel-Information) > > [Placid Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Placid-Village.h4443077.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale del Rei Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vale-Del-Rei-Hotel-Villas.h1303668.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocha Brava Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Rocha-Brava-Village-Resort.h1111695.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta do Paraíso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Quinta-Do-Paraiso.h1984923.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Carvoeiro Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Carvoeiro-Plaza.h891203.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Carvoeiro Golfe - AL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Pestana-Golf-Resorts.h4411575.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Guarana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Guarana-All-Inclusive.h4813341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirachoro Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Mirachoro-Praia.h1455748.Hotel-Information) > > [Algar Seco Parque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Algar-Seco-Parque.h20461863.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Dourado Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Dourado-Resort.h2279367.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Gramacho Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Pestana-Gramacho-Residence.h22880433.Hotel-Information) > > [One Bedroom Sea View Apartment Clube Rio Ferragudo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-One-Bedroom-Sea-View-Apartment-Clube-Rio-Ferragudo.h66241051.Hotel-Information) > > [Colina da Lapa & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Colina-Da-Lapa-Villas.h1456080.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Residence.h904328.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Santo Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Santo-Resort.h2135874.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [Colina Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Colina-Village.h1456094.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Hotel.h4071.Hotel-Information) > > [Castelo Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Castelo-Guest-House.h20244637.Hotel-Information) > > [Água Hotels Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Agua-Hotels-Riverside.h4345792.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Alba Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vila-Alba-Resort.h1511579.Hotel-Information)
