Stella Maris  

Great apartment, very comfortable. Pool was very nice, very cold though! Location was good, near supermarket, a few restaurants and a ten min walk to a fabulous beach.

Reception staff not the friendliest, other staff very nice.

We have stayed at this hotel on 6 or 7 occasions over the last 5 years and the staff have been very friendly and helpful on each occasion dealing with the couple of minor problems we have had promptly and efficiently. The accomodation and facilities are well maintained and cleaned on a daily basis and the location is within easy walking distance of the cliff top walks and access to the beautiful beach. The hotel can also arrange taxi transers to & from Faro airport which is only 30 minites away and a whole host of other destinations both within the local area and further afield including across the border to Spain.

We have little to complain about but a couple of improvenents we could suggest would be to allow room choice at time of booking and for the hotel to desist from taking bookings from large groups (hen or stag parties )who are not their for the sports & training facilities. On this last stay we were glad to be leaving when we did as a group of 18 young men had arrived the day before we were due to leave and completely destroyed the peacefull and family friendly atmosphere that gives the hotel it's charm.

Great position, staff and Hotel. Would recommend highly

Evening meal became a little predictable but nothing major

Beach was close, cross country track was close, quiet neighborhood. Hotel had childrens playground.

Water in jacuzzi was not heated, it was freezing, nobody used jacuzzi, why the hell they kept it working at all. It was so funny to see people trying to tip in, jacuzzi was under our balcony :) And childrens pool was empty in end of the March. We did not know that, but childrens pool was one of the reasons we chose Stella Maris.

My friend Maisie, & I had a 9day break at Stella Maris. We enjoyed every minute of it.Our apartment was clean, comfortable, had a balcony, and all the facilities we needed. Staff were courteous and helpful, but never intrusive.The beautiful weather, was, of course an added bonus. We were out most of the day, but sometimes we relaxed by the pool, and had no difficulty finding chairs/loungers. We did self-catering, but had dinner in the dining room on the last evening. It was first class. The food selection was varied, appetising, and competitively priced. We were a little stressed when the airport shuttle didn't arrive on time(25 mins late), but luckily we made the flight on time. Next time we will book a private taxi.All said a happy experience, and we will be back. We will recommend Stella Maris to friends, and our club for group travel.

Spacious, clean, couldn't ask for much else really! Pool was refreshing if not a tad cool but was welcoming in the lovely weather we had, 10 minute walk to the gorgeous beach, enough restaurants nearby to last for a weeks holiday, wouldn't stay any longer simply for the location, wasn't a great deal within walking distance but as I said we went for a week and only wanted to relax in the sun

Just back stayed for 10 nights 13 September, lovely little village few Restaurants and shops. Beach just down the road to the left. The beach red and white rock formation cliffs, sandy beach with a little restaurant, which steps down to the beach. Sea waves can be rough but fun plenty of sun beds costs 12.50 for two beds. You can buy your own umbrella for 12.00 euro in shop or in the main town for 4.95 euro. We enjoyed our stay it was our first holiday away together it was quite and relaxing loved it. If you wanted to see the match go to the main town by taxi 10 euros or 3.05 euro by bus. There is bars also beside the Stella Maris showing the European football. Had a wonderful time would go back again miss it already x x

Everything was great! The hotel staff was superb and the accommodation was very good. It is very close to the beach and it has a swimming pool and a jacuzzi with great sun exposure.

pool quality, room area, room in front of the pool without request, private parking without costs, the staff were very nice and attended all of our requests

Channels on TV, cleanliness, equipment, kitchen

Great well appointed and spacious rooms. Great location in a quiet but really lovely part of the Algarve. Staff very helpful too. This was our second stay here and we would definitely stay again.

I fully recommend this hotel for family with children. There is really nice swimming pool for young children and playground. Really close to the beach even without car. Plenty of restaurants close to the hotel but not too close so it's not loudly. Underground parking for free. Room was clean with really nice balcony. Kitchen well equipped. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Not enough quantity of hot water. There is boiler in the room and for all members of family quantity is not sufficient. Boiler is warming water quite fast so it is not too annoying.

Good hotel, clean ,fair price, good staff,good food,walk to beach
