Hotel Belavista Da Luz

From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The room was immaculate, stylish, and surprisingly spacious, with one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Housekeeping kept everything spotless throughout our stay. The on-site restaurant served top-notch meals — seriously, don’t skip the breakfast. The pool area was clean and relaxing, with plenty of loungers and a great bar service. What truly stood out was the level of service — every team member was warm, helpful, and genuinely cared about our experience. If I had to nitpick, the only slight drawback was the distance to the beach. It’s walkable, but not ideal if you're looking to step out and immediately hit the sand. That said, the quality of the hotel more than makes up for it. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation!

Lovely quiet location, spotlessly clean, good dinner & excellent fresh breakfast with very good coffee (machine ) all the staff were helpful & friendly. Lovely service all round. Padel court , 2 lovely pools & nice lunch at the pool bar. There is a hill to negotiate to the village centre ( didn’t worry us too much as we were on a walking holiday anyway) bus stop just outside entrance & plentiful Ubers/ taxis about. Great little hotel & happy to recommend.

I have visited this hotel for many years and the new management have changed it too much. I believe for the traveler who wants a base to sleep in it is still good value for money. For an old time Portugal devotee of fine dining and cocktails in the evening, this is no longer a desired destination. Only 2/3 years ago, the restaurant had a menu to be proud of - non-residents booked for its quality of choice, chef skills and atmosphere. An excellent restaurant and chef have now been replaced by a cook with such a limited menu, that the only option for a non-fish lover are chicken or steak. Even the minimal menu, does not have full availability. Served sadly with a helping of non- negotiable, non-identifiable vegetables (maybe boiled aubergines and courgettes with a tin of carrots and peas thrown in is my best guess). Cocktails in the evening are not an option - the previous menu and skills discarded. Ingredients to make holiday treats, no longer even available. Everything was sadly no, it hadn’t been reordered. Bar snacks gone and no option to purchase anything. Oddly, the heath makeover of the resort does not extend to offering a choice of healthy eating - instead the same greasy chips were served noon and night with every meal, cheese oozed but fresh salad choices as main or side dishes were unavailable. The only respite was the oft requested ‘punched’ potatoes - less greasy but not to be confused with crushed, sautéed or any other restaurant quality side dishes you may have expected at a 4-star hotel. Staff remain amazing - 5 out of 5 for staff. If we hadn’t had mobility issues in our party, we would only have slept there.
