This hotel can barely be considered a hotel. It’s a 5 star ++++ experience where everything from the staff, food, amenities and location make you feel like a VIP all day long. It is located on a busy touristic strip, but once you cross the iron gates, you are cut of from the rest of the world and transported into absolute luxury. Simply perfect.

This is a beautiful spot and an excellent hotel. The concierge and front desk team were excellent with lots of great suggestions. The reason for four stars instead of five was. 1) we were in a satellite building, and not the main structure, and although it was very nice, there was no way of knowing that that was what we were booking. The website basically shows the beautiful old structure of the hotel, but does not show that separate building. 2) the hotel is set back from the main street by a gate, so there is a sense of privacy, but the immediate vicinity of the hotel is a fairly touristic street. Once again the website here is a bit misleading, as prior to arriving we thought we were in a fairly secluded area.

We loved our stay at Bela Vista! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable from the second we arrived. Portimão itself is perhaps a little more touristy than other cities in the Algarve, but Bela Vista felt like an oasis away from this. We absolutely LOVED the daily breakfast, pool facilities, and Vista Restaurant - this was the best meal we’ve ever had in our lives!

Canadian here. After 17 days of touring Portugal, this final stop was the icing on the cake. Opulence around every corner! Gated, beautiful location right on the beach. The pool area is exactly what you’d expect from a five star hotel. Breakfast overlooking the beach was magic. For my Canadian friends, think a smaller version of one of our CN hotels. Luxurious.
