The hotel is really nicely done, the rooms with a kitchenette and living area are excellent for families! The pool and grounds are really lovely and calm. The restaurant and breakfast were very tasty! The beach is a bit of a walk but there is a buggy on request and is a big sandy beach. The hotel’s beach food is overpriced and not great. The kids club is great, takes kids over 4yo and is free.

This is a beautiful hotel with extremely kind and helpful staff, and great amenities. We were able to get a ride to the beach every day in the property’s “Tuk Tuk”, and truly enjoyed the calm, warm waters. Bianca, on the front desk, helped us secure tee times, and transportation. The restaurant was also outstanding, and the included breakfast was excellent. We would definitely recommend this luxurious property to all of our friends, and hope to return some day!

This hotel was perfect for us a young family. The balance between design hotel and being kid friendly was just right. The little touches in the kids club of the Halloween trail and a crafting activity everyday meant the kids were entertained while we relaxed. Our suite was well designed and housekeeping was excellent, including freshly baked cookies and bedtime stories for the kids. The gardens and landscaped walk to the beach were beautiful.

Style over substance. Aesthetically pleasing but bad design for a hotel. Noise from stone inlaid corridors & marble bedroom floors, heavy roller doors on the shower, loud clunky cupboard door mechanisms & rammed full of pre-schoolers, whose parents let them run & squeal in corridors, scream in the dining room & shout all day long at the swimming pool, which is in a baking, walled-terrace setting with nowhere for the noise to escape or air to circulate. Single pool toilet & adjoining shower not nice or kept all that clean & usually had a wet floor that you have to paddle through. This is their nominated late checkout option for a shower before the airport, no thanks! Bed comfortable and room furnishings beautiful & spacious, but without ear plugs you’ll be kept awake late and woken early. Front desk service and room turn down etc. all very good, thanks. Food in restaurant served cold first night - countless meals waiting on the pass under warming lights. Policy to serve kids meals first - by a good 20 minutes, without being asked if that’s what we’d like?! Restaurant service generally slow & a bit disorganised. Breakfast better but Cappuccinos awful, eggs forgotten one day & rather typical of the entire experience was the fact that the coffee cups are trendy metal beakers, so they burn your hands if you have any more than a half filled cup at breakfast! We had booked 5 nights (non-refundable) we managed to stay for 3. Life’s too short. Would not recommend or return.

Not sure why this isn’t a 5 star hotel!!

We had such a wonderful experience at this hotel! Every single staff is friendly but in a genuine way. The decor of the hotel is beautiful. Very modern and all the details are thought through. Breakfast is one of the best we had. There isn’t an infinit choice but everything is high quality which for me is much more important than having random options.
We had a little issue with our room as at Hotels.com the the Sea View room detailed as having separate living room and kitchenette which the Panoramic room, which is cheaper, has. When we got there the room didn’t have that and they said that none of the sea view rooms have those. I’m not sure if the problem came from Hotels.com or the hotel who put the wrong info. The hotel was full and we couldn’t move but the next day they moved us and it was all fine. I contacted Hotels.com who refunded the difference that we paid for the sea view.
We are already planning to go back to Algarve and we will most certainly stay again at Praia Verde Boutique Hotel.

Too small - small rooms, small pool, small dinning area
Starting to feel run down - rooms and bathrooms, pool shower not working

Generally didn’t feel good value - prices similar to those in other algarve areas with better infrastructure. The boutique nature of hotel does not justify premium pricing. More like a 4* rather than a 5*

Lovely hotel - quiet

We had booked a triple room for my husband, son and myself. We were surprised that we were given a room with 2 twin beds and a pull-out sofa. Needless to say, our son didn't find the sofa bed very comfortable. However, had the room been for just the two of us, the 1 bedroom suite was lovely. We had a balcony with two sets of patio doors opening up onto. The air conditioning was a little complicated so we did get a little hot in the room. The buffet breakfast which was included was excellent. If you are looking for a quiet property this is the property for you. Looking for action, it isn't.

We went to the hotel as a couple and it certainly felt like somewhere more appropriate for families. The room was spotless and had everything you would want. But although the hotel ticked many boxes, we felt it lacked it atmosphere and small details made a real difference. A large TV was playing football in the lobby/ restaurant area which we didn’t find particularly relaxing. The bar is very much in the middle of the restaurant so there was nowhere to sit and have a quiet drink before and after dinner. We had high hopes for the restaurant having read good reviews but were sorely disappointed. The pizzas were bland and did not taste as though they had just come out of a pizza oven, the sweet potato fries were terrible and even the roasted vegetables lacked in flavour. I certainly would not recommend the restaurant to anyone. Although we went out of season, the hotel is very close to the beach which is definitely a plus. I was expecting a boutique hotel and I wouldn’t say Praia Verde fits the bill for that.

Very good family friendly hotel

We stayed at Praia Verde for a short five day break with our two children (a two year old and a three month old).
The staff is very friendly and they are always ready to help. Overall, the facilities are good and clean. The kitchenette in the room is handy, although we hardly used it.
It is advertised as a family friendly hotel: it essentially is, they are very good with children and have a recreationist on site in the afternoon until the evening. They claim to have a \"kid's club\", but in fact that really is just a tiny room with a few toys, so the children get easily get bored after a while. We went in October, so it was very quiet. Maybe there are more activities during the high season.
The restaurant is very good and again, the staff is (mostly) friendly. Our criticism is that, because the hotel is really quite remote, you end up mostly eating in. Because of that I think it should have a larger menu and it would be good if it changed every now and then, to avoid you getting bored of the same dishes. We stayed only five days and already did...
The bed in the family room was huge and comfortable, however the sofa bed was really very uncomfortable to just sit on and watch TV. We didn’t use it as a bed as we used cots, so as an actual sofa it really could be better.
During the day the restaurant is closed and the pool bar is where lunch is served. Again, the menu could be more varied. But overall the area is comfortable and pleasant, it just lacked a bit of atmosphere, such as

Excellent hotel close to the beach

Very pleasurable stay with a lovely pool, pool bar and access to the beach. Please note that the walk to the beach is more than 500 yards and so with little ones this may prove too much. Although it caters for children, at meal times it does not provide children's cutlery and rather relies on young ones being able to use adult cutlery. A small point but one to bear in mind.

Blissful stay

I stay in many hotels for work and leisure and this is by far the nicest placd I've had the pleasure to call home away from home in a while. The bed was like sleeping in a cloud - so comfortable with a panoramic view past the balcony to the ocean. We stayed 3 nights and didnt venture out to eat as A Terra the restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, while we ate at the pool restaurant bar for lunches as relaxed in the shade, reclying on masses of cushions.

Our room was on the new 3rd floor, so smaller that the suites on the lower floors, but everything was brand new and stylish, a huge balcony and nespresso machine (you only get pods on the first day but can buy more from the stylish deli/gift shop in the lobby, or just take some with you).

The staff work extremely hard and go that extra mile to ensure you are well looked after, nothing is too much trouble.

A lovely week's restful holiday!

We stayed here in mid June, and really enjoyed the time: the style and comfort of Praia Verde Boutique Hotel mark it out as special for us. Our suite on the 1st Floor gave us space and comfort, and lovely views of the pine forest and ocean from the balcony. The hotel interior has a stylish modern reception area, a very good restaurant (though after a few days we ran out of choices, but the wines were excellent!)and a lounge/terrace. The gardens, pool area and bar near the pool are very pleasant to relax in. The staff were always very friendly and helpful to us. One thing to note: the beach (absolutely stunning!)is about 700 metres away on foot, and there are no shops nearby: unless you hire a car or bikes it is not easy to get away for trips to sites elsewhere.

The hotel was exactly as it appeared in the advertising and didn't disappoint. Staff were friendly and helpful and our room was beautifully appointed and clean. The restaurant, whilst quite expensive, was open for long hours allowing lazy breakfasts and relaxed meals, especially when we arrived late at 10 o'clock at night.There was never a problem with availability of sunbeds at the pool as the hotel has a small number of rooms, and the pool was a lovely peaceful relaxing place to be with the pool bar close to hand and beautifully set out amongst the pine trees. Our only 'complaint' was the lack of amenities in the kitchenette....it has the bare essentials. A kettle and toaster would have been good additions. We will definitely return the next time we need to recharge the batteries.

A fantastic Portuguese gem of a hotel

Off the typical tourist radar, this hotel, close to the Spanish border, is a great place to stay. Very comfortable, the staff are very warm and friendly and do their best to make you feel at home.
The four of us (two adults and 7 and 4 year olds) stayed in a sea view family suite with the 7 year old on a sofa double bed and the 4 year old in a (big) cot! Everyone slept well, and had enough space to move around with the sofa bed always open.
At breakfast, the whole family loved the freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruits and home baked bread. The coffee not so much. Top tip: better stick with the nespresso machine in the room but remember to pick up some capsules from a nearby supermarket (5 mins drive).
Nice swimming pool with bar area for lunch. Top tip: go for the pizza. Mmmm yummy.

The library experience

Whether our arrival was close to the season ending, for us it unfortunately did not have an atmosphere at night, unless you walked the dark walk at the back of the hotel, to the restaurants near the beach, we used our i torch to light the way...only to find the restaurants really quiet with no music to listen to or bars where you could sit and people watch....we did go to local towns but again, it all came to an end by 11pm. Breakfast was a little poor in my opinion, the daily presentation of scrambled eggs were usually cold as well as the bacon and beans. The staff were friendly and accommodating, providing information etc. It's a shame the pool bar does not allow for drinks by the pool..quiet and lovely setting but just not for us?

Fantastic hotels!!

I have to say this was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff were absolutely second to none! nothing was too much trouble for them. Great touches like sweets for the kids and fruit in the room, the free wi-fi, and the fantastic bean bags by the pool. We were there is peak season and not once could we not get sat by the pool....which is great considering there was only 20 or so loungers and bean bags. The hotel had a real personal feel, the manager came round to talk to the guests and make sure everything was to your liking, and the staff seemed to speak every language! One girl spoke 8 languages fluently!! Overall I cannot recommend this hotel higher. We stayed in the garden view suite, 2 adults and 2 kids....the view was lovely (although I would suggest 1st floor and not ground due to the trees below, might be a little shaded!) Not that it bothered me as we were on the first floor and the view was a treat! The room was very well equipped too. The kitchenette had everything from cork screw to napkins! Will definately go back. The beach was a 7 minute walk, and a couple of nice restaraunts within walking distance although the deck bar at the hotel was great too!

A lovely hotel, which requires you to have a car, as it is in the middle of nowhere. Bus links are there, but hotel staff dont seem to know about them really. Very quiet. A lovely beach five mins walk from hotel, a couple of restaurants, one really good, if quite expensive. Nothing else opens until June so not a spring or autumn break location. Great little towns nearby, such as Olhao, Tavira ( quite a drive away) and you can get a bus to Villa Real then a ferry across to Spain, where the shoe shopping is good. If a kind Dutch couple hadnt taken pity on us, we would have been stuck in the hotel for a week not knowing how to get anywhere (internet was not working and hotel did not privide information about surrounding area and what it was possible to do.) or with anything to do during a week when it poured with rain and/or was cloudy and rainy! Lovely suites well appointed, comfortable, spotlessly clean, and well serviced. Very pleasant hotel staff, lovely breakfasts, nice pool.

JUST ONE NIGHT

We were pleasantly surprised to discover we had reserved a fully equipped \"suite\" and commented to each other it would be ideal for a few days golfing as it was virtually \"self catering\".
The nearby restaurant recommended to us by your front desk staff was extremely good value.
I have already given your name to a friend who is planning a visit next month.
