Dom Jose Beach Hotel  

Great staff, everyone incredibly helpful and friendly. We arrived just after 10.00 in the morning and we asked if we could drop our bags off until we were supposed to check in at 2.00. The Receptionist was brilliant, she checked if the room had been cleaned and it had so she gave us the room key straight away - what a great way for us to start the holiday. This customer service was typical of how they responded to guests. We paid extra for a superior room with a sea view & balcony, & this was a good move. The room was excellent, the views to die for and the bathroom was stunning. I think the shower was the best of any hotel we had stayed in.The hotel is on a great place on the prom which at this point is traffic free. The breakfasts were good with a variety of things to eat. The only thing we didn't like was the Nescafe Coffee machine which produced a sweet & frothy coffee, which was not to our taste. If we were staying for longer we would have bought a small jar of instant coffee. A good quality 3* hotel.

Just such excellent value - clean, comfortable room, excellent shower room, great breakfast included and right opposite the lovely beach. There are good restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance. The bus station is also close by, giving access to the rest of the country.

Lovely rooms with great seaside views in a quite area close to the more expensive town of Vilamoura. Other restaurants close by. Great location on the flat for mature people with walking difficulties.

Its a nice and clean hotel - buffet breakfast was super.

Having stayed at the hotel before when only one floor had been refurbished it was a pleasure to find the whole hotel had been refurbished in a pleasing and tasteful manner. The hotel was fresh and good standard for a 3 star hotel - well located for Quarteira and the beach

At breakfast there is only one toaster which works very slowly and hence creates a big build up of guests waiting to get toast as the machine also needs two passages of bread to get brown. Also tea and coffee is dispensed from two machines and due to the vareity of options makes the process of getting hot drinkls very slow when the dining room is busy.

Location beside the beach and also close to bus depot for exploring the rest of the Algarve

Breakfast has a lot of room for improvement

excellent location, near everything - shops, transport, sea, beach, vacation, a place for sunbathing with swimming pool

minor problems with air conditioning and Internet

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.
