Top Barrocal Hotel Reviews

AP Maria Nova Lounge - Adults Friendly

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is ok. Our shower was the best part of our room. To be honest, the hotel is great for one major reason … The location and convenience to Tabitha’s downtown town life without being too close. Plus the bakery around the corner was the perfect start to our afternoon walks. We won’t stay there again … it’s a one time kind of stay. If it wasn’t for the all you can eat breakfast buffet it would be a total waste … just get there first thing before it gets congested with hungry, rude patrons. Luis and his team showed consistent, high level customer service."

AP Cabanas Beach & Nature - Adults Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, all staff were really nice and helpful. The outdoor pool is a good size and well maintained . Room was a decent size too. The only small frustration was the hand soap was shower gel and there’s no milk in the room, but you can get a small jar od milk from the bar. Location is a flat short walk (approx 15-20mins) to bars and restaurants in the village. There’s a good selection on offer for breakfast (we only had B&B) and the staff did excellent job of keeping it all replenished. The hotel offers a free boat transfer service to the beach, which leaves from a location about 5 walk from the hotel. You do get your feet wet getting on and off the boat and sometimes it’s up to knee height, so best to wear shoes that can get wet or be removed easily. Various free activities on offer for health and wellbeing. Special mention to the Activities Team who were all fantastic, enthusiastic and made the holiday more enjoyable. Took part in the water zumba a couple of times, but watching it was just as fun. Would also recommend the paddle surf and no experience is needed! Evening entertainment was varied and music went off at 23:00hrs so didn’t disturb us and we were right on top of it. The main town of Tavira is about 6km away. There is a bus or train but these options are a good 30min walk, so a taxi is easiest option, but it’s well worth the visit. What we really liked was there were lots of older Portuguese guests, which made a nice change to stays we’ve had"

Hotel Don Rodrigues

8/10 Good

"Great location. 8 minute drive to Cabanas, Benamor golf course and 2 minutes to central Tavira. The room was small but the bed was comfortable. Nespresso and mini fridge were great although room configuration was a tight squeeze making access to both a bit challenging. The young man at the front desk was wonderful. The lounge, the pool and pool lounge were terrific."

Vila Gale Albacora Eco-Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The overall impression is very good. The location is interesting and has plenty to offer for adults and/or children (adult and children’s swimming pools, a children’s playground and a kids’ club with entertainers and its own programme, a spa with a jacuzzi and a massage room, a bar open until 1 am, evening dancing, and a large area for walks) + the pink salt lakes nearby and a private shuttle to Tavira Island. Apart from the fact that the décor is rather dated and the room lacks the amenities you’d expect from a 4* hotel (no kettle, coffee machine or toiletries such as cotton buds or mosquito nets, and the air conditioning is about 25 years old), we were very pleased with our stay. I’d like to highlight the wide variety of food on offer for both breakfast and dinner – it’s very tasty and there’s something for everyone. And, of course, we were delighted and grateful to receive an unexpected and lovely birthday gift – a small cake with a limited-edition bottle of chilled white wine. I’d recommend staying for more than just one night."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Barrocal?

The best time to go to Barrocal is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.

These periods offer pleasant weather, with warm, sunny days that are great for exploring the natural beauty of the region without the intense heat or crowds of the peak summer season. You'll find the countryside lush and green in spring, and the autumn brings comfortable temperatures ideal for outdoor activities.

For those who enjoy hiking and cycling, spring is particularly lovely as the wildflowers are in bloom, making the trails especially scenic. The temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C, providing excellent conditions for active holidays.

If your focus is on enjoying the local cuisine and cultural events, autumn is a fantastic choice. The grape harvest often takes place in September, and many local festivals celebrating food and wine occur during this time.
