Belavista da Luz

A peaceful, yet not too quiet hotel that was perfect for our family of five. We had to book two rooms as they take maximum four persons. Initially we had rooms on different floors, but this was changed upon arrival so we got rooms side by side. Both with sea view. Breakfast was wonderful, just enough variety and all good quality food. Nice pools and recreation areas. Kids loved the small soccer field. Spa looked nice, but we did not use it. Would come back!

The Belavista da Luz is a most relaxing, chilled hotel. Spacious rooms, very clean and comfortable. We were on half board and our evening meal was a set menu, 3 choices with three courses, the food was excellent and plentiful. All the staff at the hotel were professional and friendly, a special thank you to Elke on reception, for organising our request for a room change. Pool area was quiet, plenty of loungers, but not enough parasols.

A large modern hotel with beautiful swimming pools. Our room was clean, spacious and had a balcony. The restaurant food was mediocre and not at all Portuguese, for example stodgy Italian pasta and cheap ice-cream for dessert. No cups in the room to make tea, despite the presence of a kettle. Loud pop music playing throughout the hotel, both inside and outside by the swimming pools. Be aware that the hotel is half a mile uphill from the centre of the village and the beach.
