An amazing hotel. Absolutely perfect. The standard here is extremely high. The rooms are absolutely spotless. Coffee and water was replenished twice day and bedding and towels changed daily. Nice touch with the chocolate at turn down. Thanks to Anabella for your guidance on where o visit and also thanks to all the other members of staff on reception, the breakfast ladies and the lovely Spanish lady who cleaned our room every day. We had a great time.

We loved our four day stay here. Staff is very friendly. Rooms are large with comfortable beds and balconies that follow the sun. There are wonderful vistas from the bedroom, from the breakfast/dining room and from the terrace by the bar. Breakfast had lots of options.

I recently stayed at this delightful and impeccably clean hotel. The rooms were well-maintained, the staff was courteous, and the overall experience was excellent. I highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Uniquely beautiful location surrounded by a golf course and beautiful new Villas , some still under construction. A great view of the Atlantic Ocean and Lagos Bay spreads out.

Uniquely beautiful location surrounded by a golf course and beautiful new Villas , some still under construction. A great view of the Atlantic Ocean and Lagos Bay spreads out. The room is spacious and very clean, bright and functionally furnished. The loggia offers space for 2 people, sunbathing and a glass of wine are possible. Possibly a small canopy would be useful for the rainy season. Since all parapets are made of glass, there is a view of the sea from the bed ! A privacy screen between the rooms (loggias) would be useful. The food is very good, the prices adequate. The service is friendly and courteous, they are eager. It is surprising that there is no wellness area. In the winter months this would be pleasant. Especially professional is the massage by Adriana - one remembers it with pleasure !

Amazing hotel. Only about 20 rooms and they all have a wonderful view. The view overlooking the pool and golf course to the beach and ocean is spectacular. The pool was wonderful (bit chilly). They gave us a ride to the beach which is worth walking. Room was modern and big. Patricia at reception was very helpful and informative. Service overall was terrific. Definitely a place to stay. Close to lagos.

Upon reading the reviews for this hotel, I had high expectations. Boasted as a 5 star, adults only resort, that is what I expected. This is a nice hotel, with beautiful views. Rooms are large and clean and the housekeeping staff do a great job. However, there were many instances during our stay where the hotel left something to be desired. It is a considerable distance away from the city centre - 20 minutes by car. I emailed them ahead of time to inquire if a car was necessary for the location and they informed me that they had a shuttle service that runs to town. Lovely! Except - this shuttle service runs very sporadically and only in one direction - not there and back. So we ended up having to uber 2-4 times a day, as there is nothing nearby the resort. We had difficulty on a few occasions to get an uber but overall it was easy and about €9 a trip. Beyond the location - this hotel lacks several 5 star amenities. It desperately needs a gym and a spa. It advertises as adults only, but there were multiple children in the only dining/bar area each time we were in there. The breakfast is fine - buffet style, which I would expect made to order at this price point. My partner and I overall did enjoy our stay, but we would choose a different hotel closer to town for our next trip.

I returned to this hotel having visited last year – at that time my review said ‘I think I have never stayed at a hotel that has delivered so well on my expectations’. However, although the location is still perfect, the swimming pool an oasis of calm, the staff super...

I returned to this hotel having visited last year – at that time my review said ‘I think I have never stayed at a hotel that has delivered so well on my expectations’. However, although the location is still perfect, the swimming pool an oasis of calm, the staff super attentive and the rooms elegant and clean, some aspects have changed for the worse, since I was last here. Firstly the breakfast which, last year was a cordon bleu triumph is now a rather uninspiring buffet arrangement – where previously there were cooked breakfast items freshly made to order including eggs Bennedict, omelettes, bacon and sausages with smoked salmon and a huge choice of fresh fruit, cold meats and cheese. Secondly, families (with young children) from nearby ‘exclusive’ villas are now invited to share the breakfast service – from time to time shattering the calm and negating the ‘Adults Only’ claim – on TA and other booking sites. Word on the street is that this unique hotel will shortly be replaced by a Marriott – which, in itself, is a pity – however it would have been good if the previous standards could have been maintained until that time. This hotel is still lovely and the staff amazing but – to those of us lucky to have visited before – it’s just not the same Palmares Beach House hotel.

Exquisite resort experience that knows how to deliver on guest service. We LOVED this property from the moment we drove in - it is 100% as-advertised: gorgeous landscaping, beautiful design, luxury finishes, easy layout - all with personalized attention, quiet surroundings, and stunning views with beach front expanse - and a championship golf course to boot. Its a stand-out in the Algarve - speaking to the sophisticate traveler who appreciates authenticity of the local culture. i rate this property 5+ stars and recommend it for anyone who wishes to unplug, recharge, while being immersed in the best of the Portugal and the Algarve. LOVE at first sight.

What an awesome location in the Algarve. We booked this hotel based on the reviews on Tripadvisor and it fully lived up to expectations. This hotel has only 20 rooms and every room has a deck overlooking the beach - it's only a 10-15 minute walk down to the beach...

What an awesome location in the Algarve. We booked this hotel based on the reviews on Tripadvisor and it fully lived up to expectations. This hotel has only 20 rooms and every room has a deck overlooking the beach - it's only a 10-15 minute walk down to the beach and you can walk the boardwalk all they way into Lagos. But in addition to views and location the rooms are fabulous and the restaurant is also fabulous. The only bad thing about this hotel is that we could not afford to stay longer!

Exceptional in every way from room, grounds, all staff, food, location and ambience. Room was wonderful with fantastic view, clean and quiet. Some beach party noise one night but otherwise the location off Lagos city is inviting and relaxing. We fell in love with Lagos and this hotel. Not a...

Exceptional in every way from room, grounds, all staff, food, location and ambience. Room was wonderful with fantastic view, clean and quiet. Some beach party noise one night but otherwise the location off Lagos city is inviting and relaxing. We fell in love with Lagos and this hotel. Not a golfer but it tempted me to return to try once. Thank you to the whole team from check in to check out and everything in between for a lovely two day experience!

We were greeted so nicely. Big room, with sofa and large bathroom. Ultra sleek and cool design. Big patio for relaxation. We just keep looking out the sliding glass doors to the ocean. The breakfast was scrumptious and plentiful. Highly recommend!

OK, good points first; beautiful rooms, views and staff. FAULTLESS!!!!!! Slight negatives (and only slight), Food depends on chef. One was perfect but the other used far too much oil and undercooked.. We actually ate breakfast elsewhere as a result. Shame as score would have otherwise would have been perfect!

Wow this hotel is beautiful! If you want to be a little outside of Lagos try this oasis, its quiet & absolutely luxurious! They rooms are so clean & spacious and the breakfast is delicious! We had a rental car and it was about 20 minutes if you want to...

Wow this hotel is beautiful! If you want to be a little outside of Lagos try this oasis, its quiet & absolutely luxurious! They rooms are so clean & spacious and the breakfast is delicious! We had a rental car and it was about 20 minutes if you want to go anywhere but this place is so beautiful it's totally worth the drive.

We stayed at Palmares to get some early sun and play golf. I had heard good things about the golf at Palmares and we where not disappointed playing 3 rounds across all 27 holes. A real gem of a golf course offering links golf in the sunshine simply wonderful. The hotel is also modern and well appointed being small but perfectly formed it catered for our every need and we had very personal service. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay feel special. The views are stunning looking over the dunes and beach seeing for miles it was a real pleasure and good for our soul. Thank you.

We stayed in room 205, arriving 24 September and departing 27 September. The property was easy to find using ApplePlay guidance. The property is is stunning. It is a very large sprawling complex with villas, town houses, golf courses and a small hotel. Parking is right outside the entrance making it easy to pack, unpack etc. The gorgeous professional landscaping suits the environment and extends throughout the property. Check in was easy ( we booked on Booking.com) and help was offered to carry our luggage. We had a welcome drink which is nice but when I ordered another rather than adding it to our room bill, I was asked to pay right then and there. That was strange. Our room was small but beautifully appointed and immaculate. The cleaning staff paid attention to detail. The room was serviced 2X daily and a treat was left on the bed. Since storage was somewhat limited ,this required a bit more effort to keep the room neat and tidy. There was a desk behind the bed but not in view and a couch for separate seating. The room had a lovely balcony overlooking the golf course and out to the beach, the ocean and the town of Lagos. Thankfully the bed faced the view so credit to the designers! Each balcony is private with 2 chairs and a table. The bed was comfortable and climate control easy. There were no USB ports but enough outlets to use an adaptor and chargers. Be sure to bring those since USB ports are not common in Portugal. The bathroom was nice…good shower, water pressure, plentiful towels, robe, slippers, toiletries, hair dryer etc. Breakfast was very nice. The dining room has large windows and sliding doors for both inside and outside eating. The breakfast starts with a 3-tiered plate with meats, cheeses and sweets on separate layers. A bread basket with a very good assortment is also provided. In addition juices and coffee etc are served. There are also choices included from a menu. The eggs were excellent. This was actually a welcome change from a buffet. We had dinner at the hotel and although the food was good and nicely presented the menu was very limited and it was a bit of a challenge to find something we wanted to eat. The concept was a bit fussy and also overpriced. Service was very good. We drove into Lagos each day . The drive is very easy and parking in Lagos equally so. It would have been nice if we were made aware of other eating options on the property itself. We did find a booklet in a drawer when we were packing to leave that outlined particulars of the hotel as well as dining options. We do recommend this property…especially if you play golf. We did not have time to do so nor did we use the pool or beach. We needed more time! Compliments to the staff.

We stayed at the hotel for a week mid September in order to guarantee tee times & a buggy for our golf games which was very well organised by our golf booking agency.The situation of the hotel is perfect overlooking Meia Prai beach/ Lagos Bay & over to Alvor Bay & the mountains. The design of the hotel is lovely,modern,peaceful and all bedroom facilities are very good re quality & supply.However lots of elements missing- not 5 star are —- butter & preserve portions at breakfast,paper napkins,cheese & ham of the plastic non flavoured variety, tables outside are not large enough to provide space for all crockery etc at breakfast/ items served on cake stands- most peculiar including your fruit! Hot dishes were good - all the staff are very pleasant but there seems to be very little enthusiasm from any of them - the hotel lacks a soul ! Swimming pool in poor condition/ tiles coming off/ NO handrails at all therefore not safe - only 4 shade umbrellas for 20 rooms?? - I saw people going into the bar from pool to order drinks & taking these back themselves — - sorry —- staff should have delivered the drinks to quests - very poor service! We ate on two occasions - food / service was pleasant/ atmosphere zero - on. Friday evening at that time they had live music & a buffet type dinner service— not advertised to guests - only found out when arrived at reception to go out to a local restaurant- had we known we may have stayed - very poor marketing - information should have been in the hotel reception area previous day???? From my perspective there would appear to be no General Manager/ Manager — I’m not surprised because a 20 bedroomed hotel of this type could not sustain the salary attached to the position- this is where the hotel falls short of a good solid Manager/ Supervisor to install some enthusiasm to the staff - this would give the hotel some life. Understand that adults, as we are, come for peace & quite which is guaranteed in the situation but a little more life around the establishment / staff training & a re check of required 5 star standards need to be carried out - by whom???????

We absolutely enjoyed staying here. The views are STUNNING, and it is the main reason to stay here. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. We loved to have breakfast on the terrace. Service was great and you get tons of different food options. Try the waffles…they are amazing....

We absolutely enjoyed staying here. The views are STUNNING, and it is the main reason to stay here. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. We loved to have breakfast on the terrace. Service was great and you get tons of different food options. Try the waffles…they are amazing. We also liked going up to the clubhouse for lunch. The clubhouse has a bigger menu than they offer at the hotel. The clubhouse also has fantastic sweeping views. They advertise it as a 5 star hotel, but I really feel like it is more like 4 stars. The furniture in the rooms seemed a little ‘Ikea’ to me. Our couch had stains on it and looked pretty worn. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but it was just fine. The pool is literally falling apart with the tiles all falling off and cracks in the deck. The lounge chairs aren’t the most comfortable either. With that being said, we would absolutely stay here again. There are only 20 rooms, so it never felt crowded, and it was a lovely experience. The value for the money was fantastic, and the view…just gorgeous. It was a quick 10 minute walk to the beach (uphill on the way back), and only took 10 minutes to drive into Lagos. Great hotel, wonderful experience, definitely recommend.

We stayed 1 night in the hotel because of our diner at Al Sud. Great location and beautiful views. If we are a bit critical for us this is not really a 5 star hotel. Rooms are big enough but you feel a bit like IKEA furniture. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was a la cart and nice. Overall the price - quality was good so we will go back if we are having dinner again at Al Sud.

The hotel is extremely comfortable and the staff could not be more pleasant. The dinner menus are not extensive but the food and wines are very good indeed. The hotel is two minute walk from 27 holes of the best golf in Portugal. Also, the rooms look out over the...

The hotel is extremely comfortable and the staff could not be more pleasant. The dinner menus are not extensive but the food and wines are very good indeed. The hotel is two minute walk from 27 holes of the best golf in Portugal. Also, the rooms look out over the golf courses and the ocean. A magnificent view. We stay there three or four times a year. And there are no screaming children allowed, which is important as it is a small hotel and there are no facilities for children. Paradise!!

A hotel and resort made for those looking for a classic comfortable experience with just the right amount of decadence. The staff are wonderful, humorous, and good natured. Exploring the Algarve is easy and accessible with a vehicle. The in-house restaurant is delicious and comfortable. Late night dinners overlooking the ocean with wine recommendations from the region mark a highlight of our time spent in the resort. Many folks were there to play golf, but the resort offers a shuttle to and from the beach, though they won’t pick you up after dark. Our attendant forgot the time of sunset and agreed to leave us until after it was gone - the beach is so worth a sunset swim, with covered beach chairs and a bar a short walk away from the drop off point. We were able to pick up multiple bottles of wine and enjoy the evening by the waters. Housekeeping staff is detail oriented and attentive to our needs. In-house mini bar is not overly expensive and offers a defined set of amenities. Breakfast on the patio overlooking the pool was exceptional, with a variety of individual pastries, meats, cheeses, jams, fruit, all served to your for your picking. You can then order a small selection of hot dishes that fare from good to ok quality. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to call home while in the Algarve, look no further. We found it to be the perfect level of quality and detail while not overbearing us with reasons to stay in. The pool was great for a quick refresh in between stops across the countryside.
