We always refer to Trip Advisor for honest reviews that help us to make a decision on whether we make a booking or not, so here are the pros and cons of the CS Sao Rafael Hotel: Pros: - Gorgeous breakfast (but go before 9am as it gets very busy) - lovely grounds, pools and sun-loungers with fresh towels provided... more

Lovely rooms but we has 2 children and kids club was beyond terrible. There was only one rep and she spent her time on her mobile & not interested in english children. No kids playground as advertised and pools very cold and never cleaned as was the pool area. The indoor pool requires that you buy swim hats at 5... more

As has been mentioned if you are expecting a Dubai style 5 start hotel well this isn't it. Having said that the interior design is light, stylish and fresh and the staff were excellent.

Just got back from this hotel, booked this through a golf break website as it included 3 rounds of golf at the connected courses thrown in. All the courses were superb and very easy to get to by car. Could not fault the hotel, OK it's not right on the beach and you need to get a cab into town,... more

I thought this hotel was a nice clean hotel, the rooms are big with a small kitchen which i found handy for making tea and coffee and the occasional sandwich. We ate out every night because we found a few good restaurants in the local area last year at reasonable price, but some friends told us they went half board... more

Firstly, it is interesting to see how all the reviews vary. We stayed in early September for 12 nights in a "land view" double room. From the minute we arrived we were impressed. Check-in was very quick and the staff friendly and they showed us to our room and brought our luggage up. The room was spacious, tidy and in... more
