Find all hotels by Independent in Vale de Santa Maria from AED 191

"A great find. Only 500m from airport so walkable (though we did have a car). Free parking on site and breakfast included in cost of room. Room was very clean with a great shower. Good breakfast selection in clean and tidy breakfast room. Clean swimming pool (didn’t use as February) if you have children with you. Next door was good restaurant that served Indian, Portuguese, Chinese and Pizza/Pasta so covered all the bases. A great hotel if you have an early flight or late arrival (as we did). We used as a base to explore Faro and Tavira. Also free wi-fi. "

"The hotel is in a great location right by the [small boat] marina. Not too far from the train station. Property is well-maintained. "

"You must have breakfast at the hotel. Fresh, wholesome, delicious! Plenty to eat. We’ve stayed at a number of hotels in Europe, this is our favourite. The staff is exceptional! The rooms are well appointed. The balconies are large and the views are great! Will definitely recommend it to our friends!"

"Great location and great room. Definitely recommended "

"Superb team that were friendly and understanding, really looked after us. Clean hotel in a great location near a few beaches and a short uber to other locations like the marina, shopping centre and old town. Thank you Team Nau Sao Raphael!"

"Lovely hotel with lively and helpful staff."

"Great hotel on the beach , had sea view amazing lview and listening i to the ocean, 10min walk to old town , "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's an excellent place to stay. Quiet location, but still within few minutes walk to the beach, the marina and Vilamoura town centre. "

"Great hotel overall. We stayed a week in February in a room with ocean view. The room had a nice view and good size. Breakfast was delicious. Indoor pool was always warm and gym was well equipped. The spa is great too. The beach is one of the nicest in Portugal. While there are several restaurants nearby, there's not too much variation and food is relatively expensive. Would definitely stay again."
