Pleasantly surprised with all aspects of this holiday it went so well and at little cost Firstly we had a jet 2 flight from Leeds our local airport the flight is only 2 hrs 30 minutes so very short travel time. We booked a transfer on line as my husband will not stand one of the shuttles where you wait... More

Honestly this review is a bit belated, but it is better late than never. My family had stayed at Stella Maris for one week in May 2011 during our trip to Portugal. It is only 10-15 minutes walk from the beautiful Praya de Falesia. We were staying in 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was very nice. The area around the... More

This is a great hotel to stay in. Very peaceful, quiet, decent facilities. Breakfast is limited but does the job. The rooms are bigger than I expected, especially the kitchen. Terraces are lovely. Staff friendly and helpful. Pool is good and gym is well equipped (it's next to the tennis courts). The internet wasn't working the entire time I was... More

Having been in October, we found it quite empty with one poor, over-stretched waiter doing everything from serving your evening drink in... More

Clean, new and well looked after hotel. The children's wade pool was particularly loved by my youngest and it is also located in a quiter part of the property, away from the grown up section which was nice. The rooms were very well kept. On the not so nice side... The desktop computers in the foyer and the web browsers... More

We stayed at the hotel for 4 lovely days in October, and these were blessed with sunshine and pleasantly warm temperatures. The studio apartment was clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen fully equipped with a cooking surface, a kettle, a toaster and an oven. The hair-dryer was not a particularly powerful one, and more time than usual is needed. I... More
