Castelo Suites Hotel

"This is a partial review of our stay at this hotel as it is only day one. Upon arrival we were issued 111 D which did not match the garden view description as it was facing the main road, however, after speaking with the front desk staff, they quickly relocated us to ensure that we were accommodated. If this is any indication of what remainder of our stay will be, we are excited. It is an extremely beautiful facility, very clean and all of the staff are very welcoming. I will follow up with a review after seven days. Customer service 10/10 thus far."

"We stayed at Sesmarias Rio in Albufeira a few months ago and still find ourselves talking about what a great trip it was. The hotel had such a relaxed and friendly feel from the moment we arrived, which we were so grateful for as we had to leave a hotel round the corner due to a poor stay. The location was spot on for us, peaceful and quiet but still close enough to Albufeira. Everything was kept to a really high standard and the cleanliness throughout the hotel stood out straight away. Our room and all of the shared areas were always spotless. We hardly felt the need to leave the hotel during the day. We had planned on visiting some of the local beaches but were so happy relaxing by the pool and enjoying the surroundings that we were more than content staying put. The people who really made the stay memorable for us were the reception team, but in particular staff members Yan Cortez and Ivo Alves. Both of them were brilliant from start to finish and were a big reason why we enjoyed our time there so much. They remembered the little things and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. It is rare to come across service that leaves such a lasting impression, but they both managed exactly that. A big thank you to Yan and Ivo for everything they did during our stay. They are a real asset to the hotel and helped make our holiday one we look back on very fondly. We would happily return to Sesmarias Rio and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a lovely setting with great people looking after you."

"Wonderful holiday Beautiful modern hotel with a nice team of friendly staff. Spotless rooms and facilities with very comfortable beds. Suited me perfectly as a woman travelling alone; I felt safe and relaxed. I went half board, both meals were plentiful and replenished often with lots of choice. It’s not one of those buffets that go for quantity over quality though, the standard of food overall was very good. Lots of sun loungers and no loud banging music by the pool; the overall vibe was very relaxing and peaceful. In a very quiet area, 10 minute walk to a lovely beach and very quick and easy uber ride into the town. The hotel also offer a free shuttle bus into the town which was excellent."
