Barlavento hotel rooms a the Highgate Independent

"Great hotel"

"Had a terrific stay in March. A beautiful resort in a nice location. Really enjoyed our time, especially the view, the breakfast buffet, the bar (including the amazing bar staff!), our room, and the overall level of service. Would recommend if you're wanting to stay in this area. Only negative is the lack of hot tub (either indoors or outdoors). They were also doing some construction on the grounds, but I imagine that will be done by the summer."

"Clean room friendly staff and great breakfast"

"Apartment was awesome. We had the two bedroom with a sea view. Excellent views from all 4 balconies! Bar area was modern and spacious. It was nice to have an outdoor and indoor children’s play area….well organized, great variety of toys and child bathroom right there. The pool area was large with a little wading area. It wasn’t cold to use that day though. Grounds were well maintained. "

"Very clean, friendly helpful staff, breakfast was excellent. Beautiful ocean views."

"Gym was very well equipped. Kitchen could have had more pots and pans for long term stays"

"Overall very acceptable! "

"This hotel is 150%!!! Its location couldn’t be better, the buffet breakfast is fabulous, free parking in a safe garage, and cleanliness second to none. You walk right out onto the beautiful beach which you can walk for 5km to the other end amongst stellar cliffs. The breakfast has absolutely everything you could want. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay spectacular, they literally think of everything, right down to shower and change room if you decide to hang out on the beach after checking out. We would not even consider staying anywhere else in the Algarve❤️"

"We really enjoyed staying at the marina. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We upgraded from the standard department to the premium one and it was lovely view of the pool and marina. The kitchen was well appointed."
