Bela Vista is a true Oasis in the Algarve region. Centrally located with beautiful amenities including a pool that overlooks the beach. It is a trip back in time with original Portuguese tile, wood and the main house belonging to the royal family of Portugal. They say it is the first hotel in the Algarve. The modern house in the side is where we stayed which features terraces with ocean view rooms. The real stand out is the service. They could not have been more attentive to our needs and did so with a smile. The breakfast was fantastic outside on the terrace with ocean views each morning. We had dinner in the bistro in the gorgeous bar that was sublime. Centrally located to all that the Algarve has to offer. 30 minutes to Lagos and within one hour of everything you want to reach on the coast. The one major negative was the street that it was located on was a loud party street that did not match the caliber of the hotel. The noise was manageable but I didn’t see how that is a problem. I feel bad for the hotel because they were there first. Also they should not charge 20 euro a day for parking on their own property but they did always have the car waiting with fresh water. It was perfection otherwise and is a true five star hotel but you do need to be aware of the street it is located on. It felt out of place.

One of the finest hotels we have stayed. The service is outstanding, personal, and always available. Our suite was the Owners suite and we were amazed at the fabulous decor here and thruout the hotel. The Bistro dining experience was complimented by Patricia’s friendly service.

Surely this is the jewel of Praia da Rocha. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay as part of an anniversary trip. The staff made it very special. They were very friendly and professional. The meals and accommodations were wonderful. If you are booking a reservation, ask for an ocean view. Not all of the rooms have such a view. Also, beware of the birds on the restaurant deck during breakfast. They'll dive in for a bite if you go inside to revisit the well-stocked buffet. The pool area is very nice, and the property is a short walk to the beach.

This is a beautiful property located above the Bluffs have a stunning beach. The main hotel itself is stunning. So you can imagine my disappointment when I was given a room that faced at hedge and a wall on the walkway. Room 201 or 202 I would avoid all costs, not only do you have to go to the corner of your patio to see the ocean but you get this horrible piped in music from my speaker that’s located at the corner of the pool. The music goes on and on until late in the evening, even when no one is by the pool. I’ve asked him to turn it down, but they seem reluctant to do so. I’m a solo female traveler, and I also be put on the ground floor is insensitive to the safety of a woman traveling alone

Worth. Every. Penny. Came here as a showcase to our honeymoon. Everything was impeccable. Everything complemented each other. All of the staff were extremely polite and accommodating. Without a doubt, this was the best hotel stay/memory of our entire trip. From the airport transfer, 11-course dinner experience, to the views, use of the L'Occitane spa, beachfront, and the exclusive street leading up to it - this is something you do not want to miss. There's a reason why it's the best hotel in the Algarve and South of Portugal. We will be back.

Our experience was not about luxury or great food or a pretty room even though we had all those things at the Bela Vista. It was the exceptional support, service and kindness we received from the hotel staff as we had a medical emergency while we were there. It sounds melodramatic, but their hotel doctor saved my life by identifying that I had septic shock, getting us an ambulance and to the hospital asap. The front desk was so accommodating as my husband had to move our reservation multiple times while I was in the hospital. When I was discharged and back in the hotel in a wheelchair they went out of their way to help me get around and even got me access to the physical therapist in their spa. The bottom line is we had a frightening experience in a foreign country and they made it as pleasant as possible (which sounds ridiculous but it was a beautiful place to recover). Our biggest kudos to Joao, Susanna and Dr. Rodrigues Cunha.

This hotel staff has an unbelievable attention to detail. They make sure you are relaxing and getting the most out of the experience. Magdalena and John (sp.) who were at the front desk assisted us during our stay with ideas about food, entertainment and sites to see. At the pool area we were assisted by Mikala (sp) who was great fun and provided great service. We dined at Vista, their Michelin star restaurant. Tiago, the sommelier provided a great experience with wine. Servers Bruno and Diego were wonderful with each course of beautiful food that tasted as good as it looked. Never have we experienced such beautiful delicious food and wine. One evening we had basically a private dinner in their bistro. Beautiful setting and our server Gonzales heightened the experience. We definitely would return to this hotel for incredible views, service and relaxation.

This is my most favorite hotel that I have ever stayed in. From the moment we checked in until we left everything g was prefect! The hotel was so beautiful and unique, inside and out. The grounds were well manicured and there are stairs just next to the property that lead down to Praia da Rocha. Our room was in the “deluxe” building. This building has been fully renovated and our room had a balcony with a gorgeous ocean view. They provide complimentary still water, sparkling water, and small snacks. The location is great; we walked everywhere. Staff - I was so impressed with the impeccable service! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We did not want for anything. Breakfast - The complimentary breakfast was so much more than I ever expected. We sat outside on the terrace every morning and took in the view of the beach and ocean. There was a self service area with fresh fruit, meat, and cheese. In addition, there was table service which included coffee, fresh juices, and a tower of baked goods. You could order hot food (also complimentary) also. The avocado toast and egg benedict were delicious! And again, the service was perfection. Spa - We had a couple deep tissue massage and both my husband and I thought it was one of the best massages we had ever had. A 60 min massage was 98 Euro, a much better price than you will find at luxury hotels in US/Caribbean/Mexico. I would 100% stay here again!
