Hotel Baia Cristal    

Lage Zimmer

Kaffee

th E bar has entertainment in the evening and the standard is high.

the breakfast. frequently you have to ask staff to replenish the food area. tend to be reactive rather than pro- active in dealing with this matter.

Location, price, quality of accomodation

Qualty of sandwichs and in flexiblity of ordering after about 8.00pm

Obfite sniadanie.Sauna i turecka laznia.

good location on cliff top, short walk to Carvoeiro

average age of guests a lot older than me (55), maybe always that in November

A comfortable hotel with good facilities including outdoor pools and a sauna. Picturesque beach close by.

A little too far away from the village unless you had a car.

Layout of Hotel very nice with pleasant poolside facilities

A La carte menu was pricey and the food was not really all it could have been. We had to wait over thirty minutes for an Omelette and Spaghetti No window to open in Bedroom

It is fairly central to local beaches, views from gardens were fantastic. Staff were helpfull, and friendly. They provide a shuttle bus service to the village, but there is also a bus stop outside if you haven't access to a car and you want to visit the many towns and sites in the area. Ignore the negative reviews on Trip Advisor, cranky, tired travellers I reckon.

2 O'Clock check in time didn't suit, we arrived around 11.30. There was a secure area provided for us to leave our luggage and to change to more wuitable clothes. Trays would have been handy at breakfast, but saying that, if that's all I can find fault with....... Maybe closer to a 3 star rating, but again, not a problem

Charged 5 Euro's for 1 hour of Wi Fi Breakfeast was poor Never a 4*

The beaches are beautiful and there seems to be some good golfing nearby. The parking is free.

Our stay at this hotel was only for one night, but it really dampened our entire vacation. First, this hotel is very remote. It's very hard to find and the directions are complicated. The streets in this area are not marked well. Plus there are very few signs for the hotel. We also struggled to find it on google maps. It was frustrating. The hotel itself is having an identity crisis. There are marble statues of Greek Goddesses by the pool, but then there are electric orange chairs and old circular 70s chairs. It's really gaudy. It screams Euro trash. Plus there is bad German karaoke blaring from the cocktail lounge. The rooms are dark. The beds are hard and crunchy, like they have a weird plastic coating. We had a sea view, but it was obstructed by other parts of the hotel. Not very impressive. There were also rust rings around the toilet and tub in the bathroom. The tv was tiny, but also in an odd spot so you could not really watch it from anywhere. The breakfast was also very disappointing. The Algarve is known for its oranges. The orange juice was a powder and the fruit was all canned. The ham was overcooked and burnt too. Horrible. Also they advertise free wifi. It's not free. It's about 5 euros an hour and you also have to pay for it in the public spaces. The town of Lagoa is smaller and there isn't a lot to do nearby in Cavoiero. I'd say go to Faro or Lagos instead.

Great hotel slightly outside of town about 12 minute walk. Staff very friendly, lunch in the bar reasonable, pool was nice and always plenty of beds. Room was spacious and very clean. If you want a really good sea view ask for a sea view on the 1st floor. Some rooms are ground level and although you have a sea view it's hidden by the trees.

Nice location if you wish to be away from the town centre with lovely sea views from the pool areas. It is an attractive looking hotel. The pool area was well kept and very cleanand the same for the inside. Reception staff very friendly and helpful.

Be aware that it is a challenging ascent back from the town to the hotel after a evening out. The curstesy bus is very restricted on the number of journeys it undertakes each day and has to be booked in advance which is inflexible as it appeared very under used all day. We paid extra for a seaview with balony but the room itself was definitely 2-3 star only. No tea/coffee facilitities as adverstised on the booking.com website unless you request it. The fridge was useless and the general decor poor for a 4 star rating in our experience.

-Very nice & helpful staff -Clean realtively spacious rooms fro Europe - Fantastic view of Atlantic and beach from nearby cliffs - Great pool & swinging hammock chairs

- 5 Euro for one hour of WiFi (in lobby only) - Steam room/sauna (in fact the entire spa) was only open from 9AM to 1 PM and 4Pm to 7 PM - Towels had to be checked out for a 10 Euro deposit & it cost one Euro if you wanted to exchange the towel - Seemed to nickel & dime you lots of things that should be included for a hotel as nice as this one

The location is amazing - we highly recommend a cliff walk to the praia de covos which is exquisite and nearly always empty!

Twin beds instead of doubles for the second visit. Big shame, we turned the mattresses horizontal, however, there's no comparision to a proper double bed.

Excelent location, right above the beatifull beach, up to half an hour driving from other main beaches and attractions, nice territory of the hotel, seaview rooms are worth to pay a bit extra.

Food. Selection of meals very poor. Evening meal expensive taking it's quality.

The position and the ocean view from the room were truly amazing, and for us this made all the difference. There is a spectacular and quite long walk (nearly 6h return) on cliffs starting at the beach below the hotel (and ending in Praia de Marinha) which is truly spectacular The balcony in the room protects from the wind which was really usefule in these windy days. The chance to have Jacuzzi is a nice feature.

The bathroom was not at the level of the remaining of the room: visible stains on the floor were quite unpleasant. The Jacuzzi pool was a little bit crusty. The breakfast had a great variety of things to eat but only a few sweety: a perfect german breakfast (with sausages/fried bacon and eggs) but a really poor italian kind of breakfast. The price of the half- board is high and, having rented a car, it may be more convenient to go to the close by town which is full of restaurant.

Não concordo que nos tempos de hoje se tenha que pagar para ter acesso à internet. Qualquer bar já tem internet grátis para os seus clientes. Não consigo compreender que um hotel de 4 estrelas não tenha acesso grátis à internet para que os seus clientes possam estar tranquilamente em descanso e ao mesmo tempo saber o que se passa com a família e negócios.

Las vistas de la habitación 430, principalmente.

considero alto de precio un menú de cena de 20 €, con relación al producto expuesto.

Do pequeno almço e a simpatia dos funcionários

Os quartos estão um pouco desatualizados

Hotel acolhedor,localizaçao,ter spa e um bom espaço exterior. Preço- Qualidade(apesar de tudo)

4 estrelas sem frigobar(nunca vi!),alguns empregados deveriam ser mais discretos(prestaveis,mas discretos),o pequeno almoço,nao ter fruta fresca(pouca variedade e so por descascar)

Optima localização junto á praia.

Das formigas, o quarto tem formigas assim como um pouco por todo o lado há formigas.

La plage à proximité, les équipements, et le calme du moment.

Le soleil n'était pas au rdv !

Da simpatia dos funcionários.

Existiam formigas no quarto e a porta do quarto não fechava bem.

Da qualidade dos serviços prestados,principalmente a boa recepção aos Portugueses o que é raro acontecer nos Hotéis em Portugal.

Nada a apontar, apenas uma sugestão o uso de tapetes a entrada dos apartamentos exteriores e dos que tem varanda pois nos dias que chove o chão interior fica molhado.

Vista deslumbrante,o mar e as . Simpatia e disponibilidade dos funcionários nada apontar um bom pequeno almoço

é ja um hotel antigo , mas é optimo para passar uma noite , nada a dizer
