Dom Jose Beach Hotel

"We returned yesterday from a 10 day stay at the Dom Jose. This was our 5th time there, and it was wonderful. Great room, lovely staff and location is absolutely ideal. We use it as a base to tour the area, an easy trip to Faro, Albufeira, Vilamoura or Loule. There are many restaurants in the vicinity, or you can eat at the hotel. The cocktails are wonderful, the bar patio is the the ideal place to drink them, and watch the sunset. My only complaint is that the beer mats for drinks are no use! Will be back soon."

"We stayed here for a week in October. We had booked and paid for a superior room with a sea view and balcony. When we arrived we were booked in to a partial sea view. This turned out to be a problem with the booking company and not the hotels fault. The manager Diana was able to move things around and give us the room as described with a minimum of fuss. Diana was professional and helpful. Our room was excellent and spacious. It was cleaned and serviced every day. The hotel itself was superb and spotlessly clean. Food was great and the cocktails were excellent. The position of the hotel on the beach was great. The staff were excellent; friendly and helpful. Special mention for Marcos and Catiya who were great. This hotel is much better than 3 star, we would describe it as closer to 5 star. We will return soon."

"A friendly well run hotel. Good rooms although a little small. The hotel is kept in spotless order. Breakfast and bar meals were of good quality. The staff are fabulous, so helpful and kind. Special shout out to Christina whose sparkling smile greeted us each morning. Louis in the pool bar and Marcus in the main bar were outstanding. We really enjoyed our stay of 2 weeks."
