This hotel is a great base for lovely walks along the boardwalk. Staff are great, breakfast is ample and certainly covers everything. Rooms are comfortable and clean. I would stay here again. ![View from the rear of the hotel.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B6FCB9AAF654647278F1A7B107440393C913DA9D1718394157740.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service PROS: The property is very beautiful and the location is perfect. The snack bar near the beach is a nice touch for people to enjoy a drink near the beach with live music and watch the sunset. It is pretty quiet and peaceful for a resort. Very family-oriented. Free breakfast. There are plenty of good restaurants around the property that are fairly cheap but amazing. CONS: Lacking in good service from the snack bar near the pool. Everytime we order, it takes atleast 30 minutes to come and the servers do not pay attention enough to get the orders correct. All the amenties close too early like the pool, gym and spa. Themed buffet is too pricey. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ann 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Very nice hotel. Food very nice and lots of choice Second time here. Much busier than last visit. Reception very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very nice with plenty of offerings. Had buffet dinner on last night for €60 for 2 people with 1 drink each. We ordered a bottle of wine and asked how much extra we had to pay and the head waiter said he wouldn’t charge us any extra which I thought was a really nice touch and very customer focussed. Bravo If I had anything negative to say it would be the amount of people reserving sunbeds and leaving the for hours. The hotel should maybe have some policy to remove them after a certain time as we hat to sit on the grass around the pool ##### Ann Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire 6 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely 4 night trip Had a lovely 4 night stay in the Dom Joao recently. Have been before but standards are still excellent. Lots more choice for breakfast than when I last visited (quite a few years ago) and dining hall and outside are clean and well kept. Gym is well equipped and spacious, pool is lovely and room was great with a nice view of the pool and sea from the balcony. Garden area is lovely. Great location by the beach and walking distance to Alvor. ##### Claire Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa 23 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I liked convenient location - midway between Sagres/Lagos and Faro. I didn’t like the fenced in property making it more challenging to get to boardwalk/beach. And surrounding hotels(?) properties look abandoned and unkept. ##### Teresa Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tatenda 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Staff amazing but hotel needs a revamp The staff were nothing but wonderful. Lovely and helpful people! However the hotel itself needed a revamp. The room we stayed in looked a little run down. Not worth the price we paid for in my opinion. Air conditioning was not working. Had some water dripping from the ceiling into our cupboard. One of my bags got soaked as I did not recognise until later one. Apart from this the staff were fantastic, friendly and welcoming too ##### Tatenda Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Courtney 28 Oct 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice quiet location and good food with good service. ##### Courtney Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KRISTI 12 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Would stay again. Friendly, easy location, beautiful views ##### KRISTI ### 8/10 Good #### Geraldine 4 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very clean and modern property. The location is very walkable to shopping and great restaurants. Every floor has a large lobby with a fabulous beach view so even the rooms on the back get to appreciate it. ##### Geraldine Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicole 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All great but toilet did not flush properly and shower wand did not function ##### Nicole Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Keith 11 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was in a good location next to the beach and an easy walk into the town (Alvor). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was generally good and well managed but certain items (eg. fruit juices) were poor quality. ##### Keith Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carla 1 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Decent for the price Stay was pretty good, food was limited for lunch and rather pricy. Buffett every breakfast and dinner. No beach chairs so had to always stay near the pool. ![Menu page 1](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7100AD199EAA0DE4D411C1A354C79535B2FA75021672572258250.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Menu page 2 ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/69CE36724C0B3322534891FEA643556D4A630D8A1672572261020.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Menu page 3](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BBCEAED4A2FA36A34ED79552EE44F934350B65DC1672572261947.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Buffet menu](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86597F5F636D481B3CF28DF91D97A0A1923018E51672572208645.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carla Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mark 5 Apr 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The property is tired and in need of a refurbishment. ##### Mark Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jamunanithy 10 Aug 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities \+ Nice area with lots of restaurants within walking distance and nice beach. - We payed for sea view but got given a room where the view was blocked by a part of the building so couldn't really see the sea. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion weren't provided. Complimentary water bottles weren't provided. Have to pay for sunbeds on the beach each day. Door for the steam room was broken so all the steam would escape. The coffee machines for breakfast made very watery coffees. Bed was also very lumpy and uncomfortable. ##### Jamunanithy Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Exclusive Palmyra development, 2 bed 2 bathroom ground floor apartment, Vila Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Exclusive-Palmyra-Development.h40132426.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Pereira - Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Vila-Pereira-Vilamoura.h59352075.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Residences ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Residences.h104311315.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Alvor Praia Beach & Golf Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Pestana-Alvor-Praia-Beach-Golf-Hotel.h569022.Hotel-Information) > > [Laguna Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Laguna-Resort-Vilamoura.h15246213.Hotel-Information) > > [ Anantara Vilamoura Family Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Anantara-Vilamoura-Adults-Algarve-Resort.h91909977.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Vita Parc ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vila-Vita-Parc.h54345.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartment in PRAINHA resort, 250 m from the beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Apartment-In-PRAINHA-Resort.h34048649.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Faro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faro-Hotels-Hotel-Faro-Beach-Club.h1079803.Hotel-Information) > > [Faro Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faro-Hotels-Faro-Boutique-Hotel.h16400006.Hotel-Information) > > [Boavista Golf & Spa - Bela Colina Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-Boavista-Golf-Spa-Bela-Colina-Village.h4241224.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Quinta do Lago](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Hotel-Quinta-Do-Lago.h17019.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riomar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-Hotel-Riomar.h37763228.Hotel-Information) > > [RR Hotel da Rocha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Hotel-Da-Rocha.h3691697.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Jardins da Rocha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Apartamentos-Jardins-Da-Rocha.h1455684.Hotel-Information) > > [Bela Vista Hotel & SPA - Relais & Châteaux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Bela-Vista-Hotel-SPA-Relais-Chateaux.h4478076.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Faro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faro-Hotels-3HB-Collection-Faro.h58913383.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Formosa Park – Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Formosa-Park-Hotel-Apartment.h996320.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Marina Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Vilamoura.h891222.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqua Ria Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faro-Hotels-Aqua-Ria-Boutique-Hotel.h10525811.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Algarve Hotel - Beach & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Jupiter-Algarve-Hotel.h1133428.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Oriental Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-AP-Oriental-Beach.h912470.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Albufeira by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Albufeira.h2336640.Hotel-Information) > > [Ukino Palmeiras Village Family Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Be-Live-Family-Palmeiras-Village-All-Inclusive-All-Inclusive.h6295139.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Lagos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-Tivoli-Lagos.h876691.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury 2 Bed Apartment In 5\* Villa Sol Village .](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Luxury-2-Bed-Apartment-In-5-Villa-Sol-Village.h27119344.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [The Editory By The Sea Lagos Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-The-Editory-By-The-Sea-Lagos-Hotel.h112143471.Hotel-Information) > > [Flor da Rocha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Flor-Da-Rocha.h7439442.Hotel-Information) ---
