Bela Vista Hotel & Spa - Relais & Chateaux

Everything

I liked everything

The property is amazing….the attention to detail is superb!! The staff is the best, so accommodating ! Rooms were immaculate . But I think the best part of our stay was lunch at BELA and dinner at Vista. To have an amazing stay and also the best food is a win!!

We loved everything about this hotel! It was amazing, cannot fault a single thing! Thank you to all of the staff for making our stay so incredible!

Nothing not to like!

Staff and service.

Unfortunately, the property is surrounded by Portimão’s very tall buildings. From the photos shown before booking, it looks as though it is located on a fairly secluded beach, whereas in reality it is right in the middle of town, surrounded by tall and rather unattractive buildings. The villa itself could be very beautiful, but the rooms, and especially the bathrooms, are definitely in need of renovation. In my opinion, it is certainly not up to the standard of the other Relais & Châteaux properties I have stayed at. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the staff. The only disappointing detail was that, the day after check-out, I received an email informing me that I had been charged €6 for some crisps that were in the room, despite there being no price list provided. It is obviously not about the six euros, but after spending €2,000 for two rooms for just one night, it did make me smile. Overall, this is definitely not a hotel I would recommend to guests who are accustomed to the standards of Relais & Châteaux properties.
