Cabo de Santa Maria Island hotel rooms a the Highgate Independent

"Ideal quiet location "

"Very clean well positioned hotel, pool area was small and very few sun loungers, the only disadvantage we found"

"Incredible hotel! Super modern and well designed. No direct beach access but there is nearby. Staff very friendly and helpful. The food is good and the staff can help recommend local places to eat. Plenty of space to lie by the pools. Could be a few more loungers at the adult pool. Nice modern gym. Room was beautiful (had the cheapest type) and was always cleaned really well! Only downsides were that the room was not ready at check in time and the coffee is not great (if you care about that). Will definitely be returning."

"Great facility, very close to the town centre. Very clean and well maintained, with really friendly staff. Excellent buffet breakfast."

"Beautiful room and comfortable beds Staff very friendly and helpful We found the room we stayed in was noisy from all the street traffic and on going music"

"We booked this hotel for one night at the end of a three week trip. We arrived on a Sunday late evening after a long drive from Lisbon. Parking was very hard to find and had to walk a long way back to the hotel. Our room had a kettle and cups but no tea or coffee .When I went to reception to ask for tea and coffee I was told I could purchase some from them!!! or bring my own? We are global travellers and irrespective of hotel class where a kettle was provided there would be tea /coffee, I would have to purchase a box of tea bags a carton of milk and a packet of sugar. We were flying back home next morning making this a waste of money. The floor of our room was dirty under foot when you walk in bare feet. I later enquired about about the price of their wine and the prices were astronomical considering Portuguese wine is so reasonable this was taking the proverbial. The cooked breakfast was a bit disappointing, scrambled eggs very runny, bacon not real" bacon" no sausages, mushrooms or tomatoes . In a nutshell disappointing all around . Wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend."

"Great location in old town. Helpful friendly staff. Room massive and comfortable. Beautiful rooftop pool area."

"The Hotel and Staff were both stunning, everyone from reception to Pool Bar did everything possible to make our short stay extremely enjoyable. Room was spotless, bed very comfortable and a TV with Worldwide coverage (if you cared enough to think of home ), Tea and Coffee making facilities had no milk, this was immediately resolved by staff. Location is excellent, short walk in all directions brings you out at bars and cafes of Olhao."

"Was our 30th anniversary and throughly enjoyed the hotel and all its amenities. Superb breakfast. Picturesque views from all angles and of the beachfront.make sure check out the next town Albufeira only 25 minutes Uber ride.we really enjoyed our time together"
