Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The staff were charming, helpful and polite. In every area of the hotel, the staff did their best to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly and precautions taken against coronavirus whenever possible. Good swimming pool, cleaned daily. The hotel was well situated in Vila Real, not far from the main square and close to many shops. Also only a short land-train ride to magnificent beaches. The little train left from outside the hotel. For those who enjoy walking, there is a wonderful forest path from near the lighthouse to the beach.
United KingdomClean, comfortable beds, fairly quiet location. Short walk to the shops, restaurants etc.

United KingdomExcellent Covid 19 precautions. Staff very helpful. Breakfast good as usual. Staff provided fresh strawberries and small cakes and sang Happy Birthday to me and I had not prompted the hotel.
PortugalGood location, nice room with balcony and pool view, good breakfast ( after very long wait).
PortugalThe hotel was spotless. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. If I went back to the area I would definitely go back.
United KingdomWe had travelled from Seville for a two night stopover on our way to the Algarve and took advantage of seeing a little more of Portugal close to the Spanish border. All the staff we encountered at Hotel Apolo were delightful, professional and very interested in making our stay comfortable and rewarding, they are a credit to your organisation. Hotel Apolo was very clean and a pleasure to visit, we would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. Alan & Kate
