The staff are very smart, efficient, helpful and friendly. Position is great, 5 minutes walk to a superb beach and 7 mins to Albuferia in a cab. The hotel also... More

My husband and I spent a week at this hotel celebrating our 10yr Wedding Anniversary. It was exactly what we were looking for in that all we did was lounge by the pool for a week and the room and hotel was modern and very clean. We wouldn't recommend it to people with kids though. We left our toddler at... More

We booked this through Thomson, one of their A La Carte hotels, costing us way over what we would normally spend for just a week away. Unfortunately the hotel didn't meet our expectations. We enjoyed ourselves, like we would on any holiday, but I've stayed in much better 4 star hotels for much less money. The rooms were really nice,... More

This hotel didn't meet our expectations of a 5 star hotel which the Sao Rafael is billed as. The grounds around the hotel and areas around the pool were in need of maintenance, plenty of vegetation and weeds growing where you wouldnt expect. Sprinklers coming on around the pool in the middle of the day soaking the few people who... More
