Bela Vista Hotel & Spa

An exquisite place to spend an afternoon on the terrace of this hotel — it truly deserves its Michelin star and its Relais & Châteaux title. The service was excellent: attentive, warm, and highly professional, all in a peaceful setting with sea views. The dishes we tried were exquisite — full of flavor, elegantly presented, and perfectly balanced. The fresh oysters were outstanding, the beef tenderloin was of superb quality, and every side dish complemented the main courses beautifully. The dessert was homemade, crafted with attention to detail, presentation, and decoration — absolutely perfect. Highly recommended.

We stayed with friends at this beautiful resort. We enjoyed the food; both the Michelin Star dinner and the hotel restaurant were top notch. The pool was serene and easy to get a seat any time of day (we were slightly off season in October). We had some very awesome massages at the spa as well. Overall, we felt welcome and well cared for in this gorgeous resort. Only criticism is that the rooms are small / space is tight.

An absolutely beautiful hotel, in a spectacular location. Warm and welcoming staff, wonderful rooms, comfortable beds, terrific food.

I made this reservation through a third party, and although it was no fault of the hotel, I did not receive any pre arrival information. Consequently our arrival by car was a bit challenging because we required a code to get through a barrier to a pedestrian street. We also missed out on excursion information. The hotel is beautiful and no detail has been overlooked. Our room in the blue house was a bit cramped but it was so aesthetically pleasing. The pool area is a well layed out, peaceful spot. We felt that service was inconsistent as some staff members were very helpful and accomadating, and others were less so.

Our stay at the Bel Vista Hotel was the perfect conclusion to our trip through Portugal. The beaches nearby are absolutely beautiful, offering breathtaking views and a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel’s luxury pool, with its stunning ocean views, is nothing short of magnificent and provided a wonderful spot to unwind. The hotel itself is welcoming and ideally situated in the heart of town, making it easy to explore the local area bars and restaurants . Our room was comfortable, with a beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, ensuring a pleasant environment to retreat to after a day of adventures. Overall, Bel Vista Hotel was an ideal backdrop for a memorable vacation. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Portugal!
