Hotel Baia Cristal Beach & Spa Resort

Breakfast was a highlight, with a good selection and a menu that changed each morning. The fruit juices were very good, not watered down like at some other hotels, and the Nespresso machine made a consistently good cup of coffee. The hotel itself is modern, clean, and has beautiful ocean views. Staff were friendly and very helpful when issues came up during our stay. We were impressed by the cleanliness, facilities, and service. Highly recommended for a stay in the Algarve!

This is a beautiful property with lots of potential, but the experience could be smoother for families. For early risers and people heading to the gym, a little corner with water or fruit at 6 AM would be useful. A small toy area for kids on the terrace and an open door onto the walking trail would also improve the setup. It would help if the kids' pool were heated, and if the spa stayed open past 7 PM, ideally until after 8 so parents could use it. Reception couldn't book spa treatments for me and asked me to come down at 10 AM the next day to arrange one myself. The website also doesn't allow a booking for a family of four. Even though the room had enough space, reception wouldn't allow a baby crib because of strict internal rules. I'm leaving five stars because the hotel has great potential and our stay had some excellent moments. I hope management makes these changes to bring the guest experience up to a seamless luxury standard.

Wyndham Grand Carvoeiro had only been open for a month when we stayed. Our room was very clean, and the staff were kind and helpful. Several beaches are very close by.

The new hotel is beautiful, the service was really good, and everything was finished to an amazing standard.
