Great service, iconic hotel full of history, excellent restaurant and pool. Beach at your dorstep. You might want to to visit Praia do Alvor and Praia dos Alemao if you need quieter beaches. Otherwise no need to ecen leave your hotel.

We recently stayed at Bela Vista Hotel & Spa and found many aspects to love. The food and staff were truly five-star—attentive, professional, and warm. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring high-quality bedding, a beautifully restored main house, and a stunning pool area. Cocktail and wine prices were reasonable, and the overall dining experience was among the finest we’ve experienced. That said, several factors offset these positives: - Housekeeping carts left in hallways looked untidy. - The gym and fitness area felt worn; yoga mats were too small. - The pool deck showed signs of wear. - At 6 pm, the beautifully appointed indoor bar was unmanned—guests were redirected to the outdoor pool bar, with no complimentary snacks offered. - Room amenities like the corkscrew, glassware, and snacks felt basic and underwhelming. - The décor in outlying rooms (Garden House) didn’t reflect true five-star luxury. Most notably, we felt misled by the online portrayal of the hotel's surroundings. The images suggest a secluded cliffside retreat, yet the immediate area is busy and dominated by low-quality tourist buildings. This constant visual and noise intrusion detracted from the experience. Many echo this sentiment in reviews: “street noise and the disappointing immediate surroundings pop up in the complaints”. For the premium price, the setting and some amenities did not align with expectations for a five‑star property. Perhaps hedging landscaping or reorienting the pool to face the ocean could help, but until the hotel addresses some of the issues, we don’t plan to return. Bela Vista could truly be a flawless stay... and we wish you all the best.

Very nice boutique hotel with lots of character and charm. From entering the property you notice the attention to detail and service starts right away. Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Restaurant, pool, and bistro were also fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a private boutique style experience.

Een bijzonder mooie lokatie midden in het gezellig centrum en direct aan het strand. Kamers zijn prachtig mooi met mooi uitzicht op zee, van alle gemakken voorzien. Je kan heerlijk aan het zwembad liggen met uitzicht op zee en een lekkere lunch nuttige op je bedje of op het terras ook weer mee prachtig zeezicht. Het personeel is uitermate vriendelijk en wanneer je even wilt relaxen dan kan dit in de Spa die ook net als het hotel perfect is. In de avond een diner in het Vista restaurant maakt de beleving helemaal af want hier heb ik geen woorden voor zo bijzonder en lekker dat is. Wij waren hier voor de 5e keer maar komen zeker weer terug.

La chambre 105 est magnifique. Celle qui nous avait été réservée ne nous convenait pas, ils nous ont fait visiter 3 autres chambres afin que nous choisissions et ont été très arrangeants. La wifi fonctionne très bien. Le petit déjeuner est bien garni et très agréable. L'espace piscine est superbe et calme. La déco de tout l'ensemble est exceptionnelle Politesse et courtoisie de la part de l'ensemble du personnel sont de mise. L'environnement étant très agité, nous n'avons pas beaucoup quitté notre petit cocon.
