Boavista Vacation Packages

The property lacked basic amenities such as sugar tea and coffee sachets we were not notified that there was a 100 euros deposit so that came as a surprise. I think for the price there are better options available other there would not recommend. The property is walking distance from the strip and the beach but otherwise would not recommend.

The indoor swimming pool and sauna needs improvement.

Hotel and rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.We went all inclusive and the food was good with plenty of choice. The staff were very friendly especially Andreia and Miguel. We would definately stay there again in the future if holidaying in Albufeira

It was ok. Bedroom was good, comfortable bed and good bathroom. The living room part of the suite was pretty bad, very uncomfortable furniture. The food was mostly poor, even for buffet food. Breakfast was an exception and was pretty good. As we stayed for more than 4 nights we got a free booking at one of the "restaurants". The food came out the same quality as the buffet (poor). The tiramisu dessert was dire, like 2 bits of bland rubber. Eat out where possible. One pool was closed for half of the 6 night stay and the other was only half full for 2-3 days but when they were fully functional they were good. Staff were mostly indifferent to you with some exceptions of them actually caring you were there. Cleaning service was good and front desc staff were friendly. The beaches close by are nice and only a short walk away. I was disappointed with the quality compared to the price. It feels like the price is high due to the room being a suite (quite needlessly as the suite aspect was very poor). For a similar price I would recommend VidaMar just 15-20 mins up the road (stayed there for a work trip before this stay). Better food, better room, nicer grounds, better beach access, and better quality of life improvements over NAU and all for a marginal increase in price (at the time of review). If this was a few hundred pounds cheaper it might be a worth while stay but for the price it is I don't think I will be visiting again.

My 15 year old daughter and I had a mini break together and NAU Sao Rafael Atlantico was the perfect location. The room was spacious with stunning views of the garden and although our room was located near the pools, it was really quiet and we weren't disturbed by any noticeable noise. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and made sure our every need was catered for. The gardens and pool area were immaculate and the boardwalk down to the beach was stunning. Plenty of dining options - we opted to have the buffet style dinner and the variety was fabulous and delicious. Definitely the place to stay if you're looking for a relaxing break. We didn't use the spa facilities but we were offered discounted rates while we were there. Will absolutely return.
