"The location was great for a visit to Zoo marine. Parking was a bit of a challenge but the host helped us sort it out. The pool was great and the apartment was very nice. My only complaint is the sofa bed was not that comfortable, but we made it work."

"Pros: The roof terrace and the fact that everything is there, super well equipped house!
Cons: Not negative, dus as the house is bases in the center of Silves make sure to rent a small car to navigate the little streets!"

"We had a very difficult check in. There was no one there, the phone number didn’t work. Finally one of the other guest said to just check the room doors and see which one was open and we found an open room with the key inside after waiting for about an hour."

"O apartamento é muito bom e muito completo.
A sua localização é excelente, mas tem de usar carro para se deslocar. É um sossego.
Excelente forma como os problemas foram resolvidos, simpatia e rapidez.
Gostamos muito deste apartamento e da sua envolvência.
A limpeza não estava muito muito fraca. Houve necessidade do chão ser novamente limpo pela empresa.

We had a wonderful relaxing week at Vale da Lapa in April with our two young sons. The villa was spacious, well equipped and cleaned every day if you want it to be.
The swimming pools are great and the boys loved them. It was quite quiet the week we were there, so we often had them to ourselves. We also used the spa facilities and these were great too.
The restaurant had a good menu for lunches. We didn't go in the evenings, so I don't know about the menu for that.

Oh my goodness, myself and my husband cannot rate this hotel highly enough. It is pure perfection. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, the food, ambiance and hotel/room was more than perfect. There is absolutely nothing negative to say. Thank you so much for for a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for two nights on route elsewhere. The staff are absolutely charming and helpful in every way. Available meals were simple and limited, but were more than adequate and were reflected in their lower cost, particularly as the setting from the veranda easily made up for it. Drinks were also kept affordable, making for a very relaxed stay. For a number of years now, we have booked later flights, and book into a rural hotel about half an hour away from the airport,...

This hotel is a gem. We have been going there for years and shall be returning again. As soon as you step in this place, you enter a haven of tranquility and peacefulness. The grounds are stunning, the staff are great (from people at the reception to the buggie lads, to the breakfast team). We are made feel very welcome from beginning to the end.

Fabulous.
Only issue was the name which is not obvious outside the building but police station opposite so when you know this it is easy to find.
A real treat of a place. Top notch natural bedding too.

This is my second visit to The Navigator- Ocean Heights and the location is fabulous!
Reception desk staff are very friendly, in fact all staff are and very polite.
Been in an ocean view room twice, recently in a room that had a large balcony looking straight at the ocean which was truly amazing! Walking up to amazing views was special.
Great pool area too.
If I am going back to Albufeira for a third time I will definitely only stay at this hotel. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Really great property and really well fitted out in the kitchen for cooking which can be rare. Great and helpful staff who are very responsive. Great to have the easy access to the pool for lazy afternoons and the Moroccan restaurant at the pool is amazing and really good value. Easy 15-minute walk into the centre of town which goes past small local Portuguese restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops so you could experience the fancy old town places as well as the authentic local places.
