12 males on a golf trip for 4 days staying at Bellavista Hotel. Stayed here in 2008 also and have no problems with the hotel. Obviously our needs differed from any normal holidaymaker but the fundamental aspects e.g. rooms, food and staff were absolutely fine. It may not be everyones favourite but it is not as bad as some say.... more

The beds are hard and box like.Food is appalling, not even up to motor way service area standards.Reception staff miserable, humourless. Due to the understandable low occupation of the hotel the advertised buffet was cancelled most evenings, to be replaced with a distinctly 2star menu, never had omlett and chips as a starter before. Breakfast menu always had pink chipolate... more

Prior to our stay at the Bella Vista we hadn't read any of the reviews on here so had no idea what to expect other than what we'd seen on the website. I'm really surprised at the negative comments as we had a brilliant week and thought the hotel was lovely. How anyone can fault the breakfast I have no... more

Booked this hotel through an agent but checked reviews before we left England. Most of the reviews were good so we were very much looking forward to staying here. The only complaints seemed to be the location of the hotel, the breakfast, evening meal and the beds. We emailed the hotel before our holiday and asked if foam pads could... more

Have just come back from this hotel and I must say I disagree with a lot of bad reports that have been posted . We found the staff very friendly especially the restaurant staff . The only complaint about staff was the coach driver who we found very cold and unhelpful. The food was good and a nice selection at... more

First of all the good points , nice bedrooms and bathrooms.Rooms were carpeted so no noise problems and the balcony's although not large were very private.The cleanliness of the rooms and hotel were very good.The staff were a bit grumpy but very... more

Friend and I just returned from the Hotel Bella Vista, first time in Portugal. The Hotel was nothing like the brochure said, the beds were a wooden box base with a mattress, the pillows were a joke with more filling on a cotton bud. The Hotel is located a long walk from any life so add an extra £20.00 on... more

For the first time we disagree with posters to this forum. Before we went, all the reviews were excellent. We've just checked the reviews since we returned, which are dreadful, and I'm afraid we agree 100% with them. This hotel can at best at a push be described as average, but poor is probably a more accurate description. The rooms... more

Hotel was spotless and comfortable with excellent maid service. Situated well out of town. No entertainment...food terrible!! Poor quality,expensive, little choice, cold...need I go on!! more
