pleasant and staff was very friendly. The balcony view was perfect and can catch the ocean from that position. Definitely will come back.

The hotel staff were great only problem was got put in what was probably the smallest room in the hotel was cramped and no spacewould be the only reason i wouldnt stay here again

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....

Fabulous location, lovely rooms and pool, and just a great all-round hotel. Staff are professional and friendly. Special mention to breakfast staff as well.

Excellent services and location.

Catia at the front desk was amazing!!! After finally flying in and having an mis hap on the train that detoured us an extra 5 1/2 hours … finally getting to the hotel she saved us with parking. The hotel is in a perfect location close to shops and restaurants and steps from the beach. There is night live music but from our room 119 we didn’t hear anything. The utilities might be a little used but honestly for the price and location it is amazing. Id come back 10 times. So glad we stayed here instead of Lagos or Portimão which is way more of a city. Obrigata!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.s. the breakfast was amazing as well!

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

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.
