Octant Praia Verde

LikedThe breakfast was a wide ranging selection which all were delicious. The restaurant itself was a beautiful setting. The pools were great but also you are a 10 minute walk to the beautiful beach with free sunbeds. The staff were incredible.

DislikedMosquitos around the pool.

LikedThe staff are very friendly but efficient and helpful. The breakfast is superb.

LikedWithout exception the staff were excellent always relaxed and happy to help The rooms were lovely and the cleaners We’re very good with details that made a difference The location in amongst the beautiful trees was exceptional 11/10 Excellent food

DislikedI think everything was done to try and make everyone comfortable As an English person I sometimes found the menu difficult to navigate although the waiters tried but that may have been just me

LikedWe had an amazing stay at Octant Praia Verde. The meals, location of the property, cleanliness, service and friendliness of the staff was all superb. A special thank you to Flavio, Susana and Sofia for their kindness and amazing hospitality at the bar and the breakfast area. We’ll be back for sure!

LikedOctant Praia Verde excels in customer experience, all of the staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble, the hotel is very modern and comfortable, the food was excellent. We’re looking forward to the new rooms opening for a return trip.

DislikedThe pool was always full of children and difficult for adults to use for a decent swim, we understand there will be an adult’s only pool in the new extension.

LikedExcellent hotel with outstanding service and culinary offerings

LikedAbsolutely fantastic experience! We were so happy to spend these vacations with Octant. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful, the arranged experiences were excellent (special thanks to Vita Natura association that supported our birdwatching and did a chameleon walk with us). The quality of service was simply magnificent: all the details were taken care of, the facilities were clean and comfortable, and the restraurant even provided me with a birthday cake. The beach area was clean, not crowded, with comfortable sunbeds -- I wholeheartedly would come again and recommend anyone to stay here.

LikedThe hotel is beautifully designed inside and out, and set amongst pine trees. The breakfast buffet is fantastic, the women at the kid's club are lovely and my children wanted to go there all the time (you don't have to book which is great), and it's a nice walk to the beach down a path by a stream (but they offer tuk tuk rides if you prefer). The Eastern Algarve is unspoilt and absolutely beautiful.

DislikedThe family rooms have a sofa bed for the kids which isn't comfortable and if they were any older it wouldn't have been an option. Understandably, due to all the greenery in the outside spaces, the mosquitos are bad and we were bitten a lot every night. The mosquitos there don't buzz so we couldn't find them and our repellant had no effect. The staff said they are much worse in the summer months. The food and drink prices in the hotel are absurd - 13 euros for an ice lolly says it all. They also add a 23 euro charge for room service which I have never known a hotel to do before. The meal times were tricky for me with two young children as lunch ends at 5:30 and dinner starts at 7pm, and our normal dinner time is between these times.
