Strandhoteller i Sao Bartolomeu de Messines

"Fikk først et gammelt rom i den eldste delen. Her fantes det ingen heis. Fikk heldigvis byttet til et nytt rom i den nye delen. Her var det heis."

"Hotel has lots of locals as guests and doesnt seem to care about internationals. Our comp bottle of wine per booking was a nightmare affair. Had to ask then given a voucheur to choose a bottle of my choice of wine at the bar. Had 2 bookings. Agreed on 2nd booking( back to back)that I could use the voucheur. Waiter very helpful but once I saw it on my bill and brought this to his attention he directed me to the front desk. There they decided that I was to have the house wine. We had consumed 1 bottle already. Never did they mention house wine. I was told that I must pay. According to Antonio at the desk, "who was just doing his job", (and afraid of it as others there), we weren t accepting their "gift" which was not from them but Expedia..."I could of course get the comp wine at another time." Hah! I live in Norway. I offered to pay the difference of house wine and my choice, but that was out of the question for Antonio. Paid 40€ for 2 bottles of complimentary wine! Also asked for soya milk for my coffee while the onsite restaurant was closed. Told "this time ok...we buy ...you buy..." I would have gladly paid but didn t need the rude attitude. Other than that its a great location on the beach & bus to Lisbon, 2 minutes by foot. Shops & restaurants right there. Nice seafront bar at hotel and pool. A max 3 star hotel due to attitude."

"We had a good stay at Jupiter hotel in Portimão. Very friendly staff, they are welcoming and very helpful. Clean and nice looking hotel. Nice size of the rooms, nice pool but a little too small if many want to lay there. Luckily it’s a short walk to the beach. Ok breakfast, there is plenty to choose from, but would have liked a bit higher standard. The snacks you can buy by the pool feels very “pre-made”. Great spa with good deals on treatments. The beds are quite hard, so if you are used to a softer comfort you might find it a bit too hard and a little difficult to fall asleep. Plus points for live music on certain evenings, it’s a great touch. "

"Wonderful stay at this hotel. We were greeted so well by the staff upon arrival and that lasted trough out the whole stay. Beautiful view from the pool and garden area."

"Fint og komfortabelt hotell. Gode senger og god frokost. Anbefaler å velge rom med sjøutsikt"

"Vi hadde et flott opphold på én uke. Standarden på hotellet er veldig bra. Hotellet ligger sentralt i byen mtp restauranter og uteliv. Det ligger også nært buss- og taxistasjon."

"Pleasant January stay, Relaxing and quiet, but the hotel was still running very good service. Pools were open and the food was very good. Great breakfast."
