Hotel Carvoeiro Plaza

Since we had a car, I chose this property, in part, because I read it had parking. When we got there, we drove down the one way hill google will take you down to stop out front of the hotel to unload our luggage, at a tiny unloading zone. The front desk let us know that there was just one garage space left (with daily fee) or that we could drop bags in our room and then go look for free public parking. We wound up doing the latter, which worked fine for us, but for those that need to know, we finally found a spot up a very steep hill near about a 15 min walk from hotel in the Monte Dorado resort parking area that was a hike to get back up to when we left. The Plaza hotel was super convenient, being right outside of the beach, with two boat tour companies right next door (which was so great for our early morning departure time), shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed our tiny terrace overlooking the main strip and all the people below. The noise from the street was audible from our room until pretty late but once the bars closed, we slept soundly on our comfy twin beds pushed together. The breakfast buffet was perfect for us. The pool provided a nice reprieve from the crowds of carvoeiro beach (it is packed like…sardines!). The staff were kind and let us borrow their wine bottle opener they had at the front desk for a moment to enjoy the wine we got at Garrafeira Soares next door. Rooftop bar prices high (you pay for the view). And the boardwalk is so close which was amazing.

No free parking as indicated by property

Generally this was an excellent hotel, with good service and facilities. The room was clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Our only serious criticism is that the pool, advertised as a feature of the hotel, was closed, although a notice stated that it was open in May. Work was being done, but nowhere near complete. No explanation or apology was forthcoming.

Easy paid parking. Beautiful old hotel in the middle of everything. Easy walk to the beach.

We lives it! However; the swimming pool was supposed to be open and was not renovated like was supposed to….

The staff was SO friendly! The hotel was right on the beach and so convenient to get to. The pool was beautiful and the rooftop bar was awesome. Highly recommend!!!!

The Plaza is uniquely situated in the centre of Carvoerio virtually on the be beach. The Sky bar is simply stunning at night, with very attentive staff. We had a beach view room with a balcony that was soaked in sunshine from mid day til evening. Complimented with private parking it offers the perfect location for a wonderful holiday in the beautiful village of Carvoerio.

Location was perfect. Room very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast and breakfast staff perfect. Sky bar and staff were great. The front desk was a little quicky and not really welcoming . There were problems with the door , the door key, etc. Parking was perfect

Great location in front of the beach and amenities. Very clean. Roof bar was great too.

The hotel is perfectly situated near the beach. The buffet breakfast was great. We had a pool access room that was super convenient. The room amenities could have been nicer and found a bug. But the beds while small were very comfortable. Worth the price!

Our stay was generally OK. The room was spotless, beds very comfortable, and amenities great. However, we were disappointed to be given a ground-floor room, which wasn’t indicated at booking. When we asked to move to the first floor, we were told we’d have to pay the difference. We found this odd – we’ve never had that happen at any other hotel. The rooms didn’t seem that different in value, so we declined, but it left a strange impression. It also felt like booking through Hotels.com put us at a disadvantage. The ground floor was very noisy at night – double glazing helped, but more could be done. Parking is as bad as advertised, so plan ahead and park elsewhere. Overall, clean and comfortable – but that’s about it.

Hotel was clean and staff friendly. The breakfast was a big variety. It’s conveniently located near a lot of shops, restaurants, and the best part right across from the beach. Also the board walk close by was nice for a morning walk. Will be back!

Hotel stuff was friendly. Room was very clean. Walkable to everything. I will highly recommend this hotel.

Schönes sauberes Zimmer, nettes Personal und ein Super Frühstück Sehr empfehlenswert

You could not ask for a better location to experience Carvoeiro. The hotel is clean and beautiful. The staff is helpful. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good.

Great stay at Hotel Carvoeiro. Room was large, clean, comfy bed, fridge etc. Had a street view room. A bit noisy on the saturday night but other nights fine. Being able to walk out the hotel and onto the beach steps away was amazing. It is a busy noisy area but thats what you get for being so close to everything. All staff where very friendly and helpful. As others mentioned breakfast options where very good and a great value. Overall a wonderful stay here and would definitely stay again. Absolutely recommend!

Il m’est difficile de donner une note élevée ayant dû tuer à notre 1re soirée une coquerelle énorme! Il m’a été impossible d’apprécier mon séjour car je redoutais qu’il y en ait d’autres (bien évidemment). J’ai informé la réception qui m’ont dit être désolés mais sans plus. Le décor est très ordinaire et vieux (il y a peut être des chambres rénovées mais pas la nôtre et je m’attendais a vraiment mieux!) La pomme de douche ne tenait pas en place sur le support et le plancher de la salle de bain n’était pas si propre (usé et vieux donc taché). Lit très dur mais propre. Point : emplacement idéal à 30 secondes de la plage et du centre. Personnel très aimable et poli. Piscine et bon choix pour le déjeuner qui est offert sur Longue période (7:30@11:00). L’hôtel offre un stationnement privé sécurisé. Malheureusement je ne retournerais pas à cet hôtel!!

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff were all great. Very polite and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was a bonus. Lots of choice. Only downside was it was noisy until 11.30 pm but we expected that given its very central location

Unfortunately there were many many ants in our room and we complained twice and nothing happened. We finally talked to Imran the manager vs. night staff who actually encouraged to contact and ask for discount as we paid $500/night which is not inexpensive and we dealt with ants the whole time. Not cool....

Such a convenient location with wonderful staff! They provide tea, kettle, mini fridge, and complimentary breakfast which is a great bonus. The hotel pool is not crowded and clean. It's walkable to the beach. Only comment to keep it from a perfect review is that a couple of the pillowcases and bedsheet had stains. They were nice enough to hold on to our baggage after checkout so we didn't have to lug around our baggage while we did couple activities. Overall would recommend!

The room faced the street which was noisy. The bathroom was tiny.

This hotel is in the perfect location, we were only going to stay for a day and ended up staying for 4 days. At first we were concerned cause the first room (007) they gave us was on the ground floor and right beside the sidewalk (very close) where you could see and hear everyone walking by. We requested to be moved with no issue and got the 1st floor facing the dining area - much better. The rooms are on the smaller side but nice and clean. The staff are amazing and were so accommodating each time we extended. We loved Carvoeiro and this hotel would be our number one pick if we ever come back.

Perfect location within seconds from the sand. So many dining options around the hotel, even an ice cream shop in the lobby area! Only complaint was waiting a while for a receptionist when trying to check-out. But the rest of the stay staff/receptionist was available and helpful. Loved the air conditioning and remote with it for the hot climate here. Not too jazzed about the shower situation as our room had a glass “wall” that didn’t close the shower off so water got everywhere, water pressure and heated flooring was great though! Would definitely stay here again, I love Carvoeiro!

Excellent location!! Great hotel, rooms a little basic but absolutely fine and clean . Great breakfast.

Lovely hotel, great location, friendly staff, easy checkin. Great views. Good value. Lovely rooms

We were on the ground floor and got no sleep whatsoever, the windows are not soundproof and we had people walking past along the street all night. Otherwise, a nice hotel.

Great location - nice staff BUT bathroom is dangerous- if you are old, young kid, have a sore knee or back, a little blind - be careful as getting in and out of bath is difficult. Also very loud n noisy from street, normally quite from 11.30pm. Central to cafe n bars.

Lovely stay and superb location. Amazing breakfast - the best I have seen with everything fro fresh fruit to the best fresh squeezed OJ I’ve ever had. Great coffee, and a wide assortment of options. Room was comfortable and spacious. Rooftop bar had amazing views, and hotel was on the beach!

The hotel is perfectly situated near the beach. The buffet breakfast was great. We had a pool access room that was super convenient. The room amenities could have been nicer and found a bug. But the beds while small were very comfortable. Worth the price!

Loved the reception team! I got to know them quite well as I was traveling solo so I’d chat with them before I headed out for the day and when I got back each evening. They were all fantastic!

Location a little noisy as it is in the center of town but that also made it very convenient to everything. Staff could not have been nicer!

The STAFF seemed like they didn't want to interact with us. At check in, we told the man at the front desk that we had a car. He said the parking lot was full and then stared at us without saying anything else. After a strangely long pause, we asked, "What now?" He gave us tentative information about on street parking, but didn't appear very confident in which areas were free nor for how long. He nor anyone else assisted us with our bags, even though there are about five steps to get into reception and an additional five off the elevator to our room, we are both women, and one of us was visibly pregnant. The same front desk staff at checked in, told my friend she would need to wait until the next morning to ask any more questions. Each time we interacted with front desk staff, they seemed either unsure of what they were doing or uninterested in helping us. The ROOM we received was NOT as pictured. We assume they've nicely fixed up one type of room to fix up for pictures and the rest are not nearly as nice. This was particularly the case with the bathroom, which had a tub/shower in which you had to hold on to the sink to get over the tall tub and through relatively small opening to get in/out. POOL hours are 10am - 6pm. However, when we arrived at 10:15, staff was dumping chemicals in and said that we couldn't get in for another hour. There is no lifeguard to duty, so we were confused by the limited hours. The LOCATION is absolutely perfect. Bottom line: Not worth the money.

Great spot by the beach. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Situated right in the heart cavoiero.200 ft from beach.Great selection of restaurants all within walking distance.Katia was very helpful at the front desk.Would highly recommend this hotel for ot's convienience and friendly staff.

Location was perfect. Room very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast and breakfast staff perfect. Sky bar and staff were great. The front desk was a little quicky and not really welcoming . There were problems with the door , the door key, etc. Parking was perfect

First off I will start with the hotel’s team. We stayed for 2 nights and then off to train to Porto. Our Uber scheduled to pick us up at 6:00 am cancelled as showing arriving. The overnight desk attendant was great trying to help us figure what to do. He called his manager who came and brought us to not one but 2 train stations as the first train was cancelled we made the connection at tunes in record time. He completely went above and beyond and we were truly grateful. The accommodations were great as well and convenient to restaurants shopping and the caves tour. Will definitely go back

Everybody at Carvoeiro Plaza Hotel was great. Many thanks to Mara, Imran, Katja and all other staff. I highly recommend the hotel. Muito Obrigada😎

Staff were very friendly and helpful.... Breakfast selection was fantastic... great variety. Loved the coffee machine especially the cappuccino.

Great location. Close to the beach and shops and restaurants!!! It was a great stay! Breakfast was very as well.

Nice hotel in mid of Cavoeiro, a very nice relaxing town. Less than a block to beach and it has a lot of restaurants around. Only

amazing view of the ocean and town center from the terrace. directly center of carvoeiro, everything is walkable.

Great location and friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast!

Lovely hotel, great location, friendly staff, easy checkin. Great views. Good value. Lovely rooms

Excellent location in a charming village. The hotel is on the Main Street, steps from the beach. The tiles with various kings make an interesting history lesson of this property. Close to restaurants, shops, the beach, and the walk board. We had a room with a view, an added bonus. And the breakfast is also diverse and nutritious.

The hotel is perfectly situated near the beach. The buffet breakfast was great. We had a pool access room that was super convenient. The room amenities could have been nicer and found a bug. But the beds while small were very comfortable. Worth the price!

Very conveniently located hotel in the centre of town and right by the beach. Very friendly customer service and good breakfast.

Pague desayuno y no había café por avería de máquina y no hubo respuesta alternativa !!! Tuve que irme a pagar a un restaurante cuando había pagado por el desayuno.

The swimming pool area was closed, which was a real shame. Breakfast wasn’t very good. The hotel was nice though

Tout était parfait. Le personnel était remarquable de gentillesse et très disponible. La chambre était parfaite. Le petit déjeuner était très élaboré et délicieux. La aussi excellent service. Merci pour tout.

The property was clean and roomy it was so close to the beach and so many places to eat and drink and shop within walking distance..and the buffet breakfast in the morning so much choice.. would highly recommended

Fino værelse. Flinkt og hjælpsom personale. Super god morgenmads-buffet, rigeligt at vælge imellem 👍👍.

Great location and friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast!

We had a wonderful time here. It was very clean and the location basically right at the beach couldn’t be beat. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with lots of options and freshly squeezed orange juice!

Staff were very friendly and helpful.... Breakfast selection was fantastic... great variety. Loved the coffee machine especially the cappuccino.

Close to the water and the action of stores and restaurants. Gluten free bread was available at breakfast as well which was very nice
