Albergaria O Gato

A beautiful hotel surrounded by huge olive groves. The peace and quiet is indescribable. There are 2 beautiful pools and the room with a balcony fulfilled all our wishes.

It was my birthday was asked for a special room (upgrade), said ok but in addition to charge more (€110.), the dirty balcony nor a bottle of water had de welcome , the most serious problem we went to dinner 4 people we made the normal order grilled fish and meat, came to meat and 25m later I went to ask where was the fish dishes and said had to wait! Next to was 1 couple arrived later and was served the fish dish exactly the same fish we had requested, again I went to the employee and 35m later says is coming out the dishes and answers (here we serve this way!), logically I got up again I went to the reception to make a complaint. We raise we pay. Right to the facilities are reasonable the normal breakfast. That ruins a birthday.

The history of these holidays is very simple: the photos present on the hotel website and on Booking.com deceive anyone who is looking for a good accommodation. It was worth the sympathy of Francisco, the receptionist, who, in a phone call, "sold" us the hotel. Arriving at the hotel unit, we were confronted with the classic “cat by lebre”, possibly hence the name Cat & Spa. We were assigned a suite in an old building on the side of the road, with no resemblance to what was depicted in the photos. In the morning, we realized that the “continental lunch” is nothing more than beef cereals, milk and white branded yogurts, the previous day’s bread, package juices and too ripe fruit with little diversity. Some measured eggs were saved, but only upon request. As for the restaurant, the dishes of the day do little or nothing for the experience, unlike the sympathy of the staff, which varies. I do not recommend.
