The staff were really lovely and it was very child friendly without feeling as if it was a playgound. We had a really relaxing time. I am an artist and I love to see unique art work but sorry but I thought some of the art was really not very good

Breakfast was great. Room size was good. Dinner (buffet) was bad and expensive; Service was not very responsive; Overall facilities do not deserve the 5 star rating.

It is a good clean hotel but not 5 star. This is a hotel aimed at the family.It has a kitchenette,but you are not allowed to use it.It is also very expensive in comparison to other hotels that I have stayed all over Portugal.

We had a 2 bed 2 bath suite which was very modern, clean and comfortable. We payed a little extra for a pool & sea view which was well worth it. Most of the staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help and make our stay comfortable. The pools were lovely. There was an unlimited supply of clean towels for the pool and beach. There is an infrequent minibus service to the nearby beach and to Albufeira. The beach is a short walk away but if you have young children who often insist on being carried this can be a bit of a trek in the hot sun. In the evening the minibus doesn't travel to or from Albufeira and taxis can be in short supply so either come back to the hotel early or be prepared to join a long taxi queue!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. For planning, during check-in when information about the hotel is passed to the guest that it is mentioned that the spa requires at the minimum a 24 hour advance reservation.

This was our third stay at CS Sao Rafael Suite Hotel and we enjoyed it as much as before. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We booked a deluxe family suite with sea view which was definitely worth paying a bit extra for as we had a wonderful view of the sea beyond. There is a great kids club that our 2 daughters loved to use which was especially good when the weather wasn't so great. The nearby Sao Rafael beach is one of the nicest beaches we have ever een on. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for a relaxing family holiday

The hotel Sao Rafael is clean and contemporary in design. It provides a relaxing stay with all the necessary amenities. It had not been made clear that the apartment did not cater for self catering as the electric stove had not been connected. The expectation was we would eat at the hotel restaurants. Although expensive for a large family. They were helpful in trying to resolve the issue by providing a microwave.

Zimmergrösse, Pool, Frühstück, Freundlichkeit des Personals am Empfang, Lage. Internet gibt es gar nicht weder LAN noch Wireless (WLAN) nur in einem kleinen Zimmer stehen 2 PC´s mit Internet Verbindung. Deshalb schon mal einen Stern weniger Unmöglich für ein 5 Stern Hotel. TV die reinste Katastrophe zumindest in dem Zimmer 0102 ging auch nicht. Die Saberkeit des Reinigungspersonals ist nicht unbedingt das was man sich Erwünscht in einem 5 Sterne Hotel, sehr schlecht. Beim Poll sollte Personal vom Hotel sein den 99% Springen in den Pool ohne sich vorher zu Duschen absolut Eklig !

Acomodações espaçosas. Boa limpeza nos quartos e locais comuns. Perto da praia que era o principal objectivo. Piscinas limpas e cuidadas. Falta de sinal de Internet nos quartos e na maior parte dos locais comuns. Alguns funcionários pouco experientes.

A qualidade dos espaços comuns, de lazer e pequeno almoço são 5 estrelas A qualidade dos acabamentos dos quartos, cerâmicos e louças não merece 5 estrelas, apesar da suite ser em termos de equipamento da cozinha/ dimensões de 5 estrelas.
