Barlavento hotel rooms a the Highgate Independent

"Was fine for what it was. "

"Great breakfast, comfy rooms, bathroom a little tired. Staff extremely helpful with beautiful pool. Good car park facilities if a little busy."

"For a hotel with as many rooms as it has, the area around the pool and restaurant never felt crowded, we were always able to get sunbeds for our party of 3. Reception was very welcoming when we arrived late (due to delays in passport control) which was heartening. Our room was spacious and well maintained, the housekeeping team were great. It would have been better if there were sufficient seats on the balcony - we moved a seat from the dining table so we could all sit together. The kitchen was well equipped and a great facility - although we didn't self cater - plenty of glasses and plates for drinks and snacks. Breakfast was good, although the choices were the same every day (but then again, breakfast is breakfast). More fruit choices would have been a plus. Checkout was seamless: as we were leaving early and would miss the breakfast service, we were offered a substitute which was great - no prompt was needed, again very welcome. Top marks for customer service and hospitality - thank you for a great stay."

"Very good hotel. Very good food. The infrastructure is impeccable! Gardens are amazing! Nice beach! The "

"I highly recommend getting a massage. 30 minutes is only 34 euro. Buffett breakfast was excellent, lots of options. Overall, exceptional place to stay. "

"It is a beautiful and scenic hotel with wonderful views that is large enough to find quiet spaces if you are an adult without kids but also seems to accommodate children very well. Breakfast is excellent and the staff at the hotel are friendly and attentive. The concierge Ines was so helpful if arranging boat excursions, dinner reservations and car rentals. The property is walking distance to town and also to many other beaches. An excellent choice for staying in this area"

"Property is really nice and clean. The staff are helpful and polite. The pools are really clean and the water was just perfect ! Only downside was the dinner buffet, we found that the quality of food served is no where near the level of everything else at the hotel"

"Very expensive but their is a price for quality and exclusivity "

"The property is very nice. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. "
