Find Hotels by Independent in Cabo de Santa Maria Island from CA $54

Wr really enjoyed this property. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make our stay a pleasant one.. Lots of big smiles and genuine kindness.

Only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer to use the large outdoor pool. Staff are very friendly! Room was comfortable and had extra pillow and blankets.

We loved the breakfast room where we could get tea, coffee and hot chocolate free. We also loved the studio rooms where we could cook our breakfast and dinner. The beds were comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel is conveniently only a 5 minute walk from the train station. Our stay at Roots exceeded our expectations.

After having visited touristy Albufeira, we were so glad to have discovered this charming hotel and always found it comforting to return to. Once we started walking around, we spent more time visiting the lovely town of Loulé than we had originally planned. Aside from the historical sites, there are wonderful little shops and cafes where you can just sit and relax. I also wish I had bought more of those fig and fennel bars at the market at Praça da Republica. If you do arrive on a Sunday,...

Great staff and very nice facilities. Was there on a layover and it was great !

We loved that the property was right on the beach. The beds and pillows were great too.

Room was exceptionally clean, nice walk out with a table and chairs. Coffee provided and the best part is that it's about a 3 minute drive to Faro Airport! Staff was wonderful!!

We wanted to stay this year in this original palace after checking it out last year. Absolutely beautiful environment.

This was a great place to stay for 1 night before heading back home from the Faro airport. The room and bathroom were both small but it was clean and comfortable. Our room had its own small terrace and there was a very nice rooftop terrace to enjoy the sunset. We left early so did not have breakfast but the breakfast room was very nice. This is well located at the old town and everything was within walking distance. There is free parking near the accommodation that was very busy but we...

This is a spectacular hotel with a stunning pool area. Our room had a large balcony and a luxurious bathroom area. The staff go above and beyond! There’s a small but lovely shopping plaza across the street.

Amazing and relaxing place with very friendly staff.

Clean, spacious rooms. Quiet at night.

Absolutely beautiful property and hotel. Breakfast was delicious and the restaurant both at the resort and sister resort were fantastic. Only negative thing I can say is the pool which is beautiful was to cold. The ocean was warmer than the pool.

We appreciated being able to use the nicely set up kitchen. The room was quiet, comfortable, and owners were there in the morning and brought fresh bread.

Great location and amenities. Excellent breakfast choices and restaurant. Would highly recommend for stay in Faro.

Very pretty condo very equipped just need more comfortable beds. Will go again

The not-so-good: Loud thumping from the rooftop cistern's shut-off valve (frequent during the day, thankfully much less frequent overnight); no Keurig or kettle in the room; a bit of a walk into town and to the beach. The good: My room was big and clean; the staff I dealt with were pleasant and helpful; the breakfast buffet was abundant and tasty; and there were useful amenities very nearby (most notably Happy Andorinhas (a.k.a. Café Happy Swallows) and Algartalhos Supermercados). As the good...
