We will be back!

We had a great stay and will definitely come back with friends. The resort offers a very good breakfast included in the price and the area is very nice to explore, enjoy the beach, go golfing, walk to the local towns and relax. I wish we booked for at least one more night to see more, but we have a reason to come back!

A fabulous base!

Would recommend staying on a b&b basis if you are mobile. There are lots of fabulous restaurants a 10-15 minute walk away (or a 5 minute taxi ride). This hotel is a great base for lovely walks along the boardwalk. Staff are great, breakfast is ample and certainly covers everything. Rooms are comfortable and clean. I would stay here again.

The beach and grounds of the hotel are amazing. The hotel is good but needs some tlc as the rooms are in a tired state. The view from our seaview room was lovely. It was during a holiday so there were a lot of families and small children around. Breakfast was good but not great and always very busy.

Decent for the price

Stay was pretty good, food was limited for lunch and rather pricy. Buffett every breakfast and dinner. No beach chairs so had to always stay near the pool.

Lovely 4 night trip

Had a lovely 4 night stay in the Dom Joao recently. Have been before but standards are still excellent. Lots more choice for breakfast than when I last visited (quite a few years ago) and dining hall and outside are clean and well kept. Gym is well equipped and spacious, pool is lovely and room was great with a nice view of the pool and sea from the balcony. Garden area is lovely. Great location by the beach and walking distance to Alvor.

I liked convenient location - midway between Sagres/Lagos and Faro. I didn’t like the fenced in property making it more challenging to get to boardwalk/beach. And surrounding hotels(?) properties look abandoned and unkept.
