The staff was very mixed, partly unfriendly and awkward (there some nice people as well), they didn't even try to hide that the working atmosphere was really bad. Borrowing a kettle to make some tea or own coffee was not possible. The breakfast isn't even 3 stars, half of the pastries were from the day before and really hard, the coffee was the worst in the two weeks traveling in Southern Europe (therefore the wish to get a kettle to make own coffee). For the price you can stay in 5 star resorts close by, that's what we did for the last days.

The view from the rooms are amazing to see the sunset over the ocean, the pool area with natural shadow from palm trees is very beautiful and well taken care of. There are nice costal walks starting close to the hotel.

The main negative was that it was a 40 minute walk along a quiet road to the local square if you wished to dine out. The local taxi offering was extremely expensive. The menu at the hotel was quite limited when it came to snacks and evening meals although they did have a quality breakfast buffet. This hotel would really benefit from the provision of occasional transfers to the local square in Ferraguda.

The hotel had marvelous views and was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was excellent. In close proximity to a beautiful beach - 5 min walk.

The service at the pool isn't great, very little choice of food and drinks Dinner menu is the same not impressed small portions as well Breakfast is okay but some of the mornings was short of eggs or beans For the price of hotel it should be much better, i think hotel saving on food which is shouldn't be because price for the hotel is high.And it goes to your room price anything you order from pool or dinners have to pay separately at check-out Very quiet hotel no evening entertainments no life in the hotel

Hotel is beautiful, nice view from balcony

Loud music blasting from the other side of the shore at night (not their fault, but if you’re looking for a quiet oasis, it won’t be the case). The dinners are quite expensive and there is little choice, and the food is sometimes great, sometimes mediocre. The price for the stay is too high compared to the overall quality.

Nice ocean view, pool, and garden. Lovely beach just a few steps away. Some tasty restaurants nearby.

Rather hard mattresses. Rooms are bit outdated, quite expensive poolbar with not much choice.

Very good location, near a sandy beach. Friendly people. Clean.

No vegetarian/vegan option on the menu.

Casabela is a beautiful hotel. The staff are very friendly and the pool is lovely. The breakfast was great but there was no vegetarian/vegan option for dinner (unless we pre-booked the vegetarian meal 24 hours before). However everything else was fantastic and it didn’t stop our enjoyment of the hotel as we were able to eat out elsewhere in the evenings. The private path to the beach was lovely.

They property itself was dated. However, the location was magnificent. Gorgeous views, beautiful beach down the walking path, and pool. All overlooked the water. The breakfast was great!

Our rooms were not cleaned fully. Our bed sheets weren’t changed once over a full week and the shower door was left dirty. The bath/shower also had stains from the previous guest.

The pool was nice and close to the beach with the pathway out the back

Malfunctioning aircondition and hence very hot in our room, poor lighting in bathroom.

The staff was absolutely wonderful!! Hotel was also really nice, with nice pool area and approx 7 min walk from the beach. I was travelling with my adult (22y) daughter. The hotel is a little in the middle of nowhere, so be prepared to walk or uber to get to restaurants and shops etc. This considered, it would be nice if hotel sold some more snacks like potato chips or nuts or chocolate. The room was quite big and with plenty storage opportunities. Very poor lighting in bathroom, though. On the negative side, the airconditioning stopped working on the third of 6 days, the lovely and helpful staff tried to fix it several times but with no success, which made the heat in the room (37degrees..) quite unpleasant as we could not leave the veranda door open on the first floor when asleep - and no window. I think we should have been made the offer of a fan + reduction in price because of the AC-problem, but all in all we are very happy with our stay at Hotel Casabela!

I wish the safe in the room worked so we can secure our valuables. The bar snack menu was also limited. Being in Portugal, it would have been great to have some seafood as part of the offering. Other than that, our expert was positive.

The hotel is located near the beach and is about 10 - 15 minutes to the city centre and Praia da Rocha beach. It has a swimming pool and we’ll maintained garden. The staff is friendly and always willing to help. Although, we could communicate well in English with the Bar staff, they were always willing to help. The rooms are tastefully decorated, clean and spacious. The hotel offers beach/swimming pool towels.

Food was basic but we only had breakfast which was fine. Could maybe do with some more choices.

the entire hotel was spotlessly clean and could not be faulted. room was cleaned every day and all communal areas were well kept. staff were very helpful and friendly. The beach was also beautiful and had a lovely walk down to it from the pool. Location was great a short drive into ferragudo for shops/restaurants and maybe 15 minutes from portimao. parking on site too which was free. woul definitely stay again!
