Dom Jose Beach Hotel  

The location and the outside seating terrace.

The only thing that I would recomend is to have more vending machines and have an ice machine available. It would have been nice to have access to one. Longer breakfeast hours and a better toaster. It took to long to toast your bread. Fresh coffee. I thought it was nice to order coffee and not get it from a machine.

the hotel was spotless!! All the staffwere extremely friendly and helpful. the location could not have been closer to the beach than it was.

happy hpur did not include reductions on non alcoholic purchases, as tea,coffee and softdrinks,only on alcoholic ones, which was a little discrimenatery.

The hotel was clean everything was like new although it had been open all season. The breakfast had plenty of chose with a cooked meal if required. We stayed in he hotel for the evening meal every night with a 25% discount again with plenty to chose from. The bar had a happy hour with half price drinks. All the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Very nice clean hotel - excellent location - on the beach -close to restaurants, shops etc. Great value - even for single occupancy, - good breakfast especially fresh fruit -

Food was average but discovered nice restaurants close by and the beach cafes very good. Lighting in the bedroom was poor for reading.

The location was right at the beach and a lovely location. The pool was a bit small but with the sea so close the pool never got crowded. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms and all the hotel were kept clean at all times.

I stayed five nights and two nights I had cockroaches in my room. I could not see where they came from and the room was kept tidy. I only notified them when I was leaving. The manager apologised for this. As I was on my own (but meeting up with friends) I had requested a Delux room with a sea view.....but I did not get this, The room had no balcony and the sun never shone in. Room was small if two people were staying in it.

Location by beach was excellent. Flat nature of surrounding roads and promenade.

Somewhat dissapointed at the repititiveness of breakfast.

Good position right on the sea front, hotel modern

Although the rooms were excellently finished I would say the doubles are too small for 2 people. I stayed on my own and therfore they were acceptable in size for a single person but would be too claustrophobic for 2 people

Wonderful hotel on the beach. Receptionist speaks good English and is very helpful. Excellent buffet breakfast. Price is more than reasonable.

Excellent value for money hotel next to beach - good hearty breakfast and helpful staff

When we experienced difficulty with cancellation of flight, the staff were very helpfull in enabling me to print new Boarding Passes

Good Sea View at a cost!!!

It has 3* decoration as has been recently refurbished except the canteen (cannot call it a restaurant when there is no service and drinks are from a machine). The rest of the hotel borders on 2* if you are lucky. Most of the staff look miserable and are not at all helpful. All service is slow, breakfast, bar and reception. No fridge in room for cold drinks and no tea/coffee facilities. No room service so impossible to get a coffee after bar has closed, next available drink from a machine at breakfast. Very small pool and you can only get a lounger if you put a towel out before breakfast. No information at Reception on local places to go which is needed as nothing happening in Quarteira. Reception staff only interested in taking money and not providing a service, which sums up the whole hotel really.

When we booked Hotel Dom Jose in June we booked a 'Super Deluxe room overlooking the sea' when we arrived we were given a room which had not been re-furbished and appeared to be a 'Family Room' we went to reception and told them that the room was unacceptable that the room we booked we thought was the one that was in the brochure photos and there are only three of these rooms, we were informed they had 20 something deluxe rooms and we weren't going to accept this room. The owner came to see us and all he could do was give us one of these rooms on the Sunday, we were there on the Friday. That was totally acceptable to us and we stayed in one of their lovely beach front rooms. Thank you to the staff and owner of Hotel Dom Jose for a fabulous and relaxing week. Breakfast was lovely with a buffet of a great selection of hot and cold food. The staff very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to friends.

There was no kettle and tea facilities in the room, that would definitely be better. In the information about the rooms it needs to be known that not all the rooms have been re-furbished. The pool needs to be seriously looked at as I'm not a strong swimmer I couldn't go in as it went from 3' (1 metre) to 9' (2.8 metres) in a short space and sloped very suddenly and very slippery, I slipped and apparently the day before a lady had almost drowned as she walked down the pool and floor just disappeared. Also the doors to the rooms couldn't be shut quietly so everyone slamming doors all day and night.

We came becaue it was close to the beach, we normally stay in an apartment. But for a change chose the hotel and it was it clean friendly and confortable. Woud definatley reccoment it.

Although breakfast was included and very nice. We went down to try the evening meal, but unfortunatley when we went in, we came straight back out becausethere was hardley any food there and the dishes were empty it was only 8.15 we did not try again but ate on the verander bar meals they were good.
