Suitable overnight hotel for our requirements

Stayed over for a night either side of our villa holiday to obtain better flight prices. It was perfect for our requirements. Nice big pool, overlooking the sea, park for kids. Restaurant served nice food and rooms were clean. Second night at end of our break was much bigger and better family room. Would definitely stay again. We don’t stay in hotels if this size generally, we prefer small boutique hotels. Reception & bar / restaurant staff were very helpful although pool bar assistant (lady) came across very cold and unenthusiastic both times we stayed there. I actually refrained from approaching the bar in the end but maybe she was just having a tough time! Reception arranged packed lunch for our airport journey as we left very early before breakfast which I thought was a nice touch. Thank you to Raffael who was particularly welcoming and helped me to my room with my luggage.

Great hotel, about a 15 minute walk in to town. Well worth €5 in a taxi back.

Relaxing break

Just returned from a 5 day break at the Baia Cristal. We found the staff to be friendly and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and cleaned to a good standard. We had requested a sea view so it was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the beautiful sunsets. There was a lovely beach about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. The sauna and heated indoor pool and jacuzzi were great as it was just a bit cold for the outdoor pool in the afternoon. The breakfast was fine,plenty of choice. We only ate at the hotel one night as we liked to go into the town where there were lots of restaurants to choose from but we found the food of an acceptable standard. The rooms do not have tea and coffee making facilities as you would expect in a 4* hotel.We liked the hotel and we loved Carvoeiro. I think the hotel was good value and would consider staying there again.

Hotel needs some updating

Staff friendly location good, but in need of a little TLC, bathroom area needed re tiling and carpet under the bed needed throwing out it looked dirty. Spa area lovely apart from the Jacuzzi which was falling apart and did not look clean.

Lift pfeifft die ganze Zeit und man hört den Motor im Zimmer. Einrichtung alt, alle Türen klemmen und quitschen. Schranktüren defekt. Tropfleck in Decke vom Badezimmer. Tücher werden nicht wie angegeben gewechselt. Matratzen katastrophal. Angabe des Hotels dass es Glutenfreie Kost gibt. Gibt es nicht ohne Tage vorzubestellen und dann nur Brot. Keine Teigwaren und nichts Anderes. Laktosefreie Milch musste jeden morgen verlangt werden und wurde nur spärlich angegeben.
