Belmar Spa & Beach Resort

Location is great if you want to be close to a beach, but a little far from the center of Lagos if you want to be close to the action. We were two couples and stayed in a 2 bedroom townhome on the resort. The townhome was showing some age and could use a little TLC in some areas but it was very spacious with a rooftop deck and a nice patio on the lower ground level. The bedrooms each had there own ensuite bathroom which was nice. The kitchen was also nice and fully equiped. The townhome also had a clothes washing machine which was great (no dryer though). The only big issue is that neither of the outdoor pools were heated so the water was intolerably cold! We obviously weren't the only guests who felt this, because I only saw a couple of kids and very brave adults in the pool during our stay despite dozens of people being on the loungers around the pool. I pointed this out to the front desk reception and they told us the indoor pool is heated...but why would I want to be in an indoor pool when it is 25 degrees and sunny in the Algarve?? Please consider investing in heating for at least one of the outdoor pools for the enjoyment of your guests.

Excellent hotel, 2 bedroom apartment was gorgeous very spacious and well equipped. Service was impeccable. Tv had all the streaming services, great for kids. 5 pools, getting a sun bed was never an issue, spa was great - could use the pool, steam room (when in operation) and jacuzzis. Provided with towels to change when needed. Great access to a lovely beach. Pool bar fab and lovely staff. Buffet in restaurant nice but very expensive . We stayed self catering|Only negative to us as a family was location to anything else - 2 restaurants nearby- ok. Grocery shop about 15-20 min walk uphill. Great but then had to carry everything back. Lagos about 40 min walk through residential area. Uber were fantastic and used them regularly to get to Lagos and ponte de Piedade only €4 euro per trip|Overall fantastic holiday in a gorgeous place

Fantastic location right by the sea. The rooms are well appointed and the spaces are well utilised. The restaurant has a great relaxed feeling as you enter and the foot was very good. The pools were well maintained and the gym was more than adequate, although some of the plates ( weights) were slightly rusty. The staff ( including the cleaning staff) were very friendly and amenable. Look into forward to another visit

We loved staying here although I was a little sceptical after reading some of the reviews. We stayed in a 2 bed townhouse with roof terrace. I agree with some other reviews that the terrace wasn't particularly inviting although my older teenage son liked it up there for some of his own space. The rest of the accommodation was spacious and clean throughout. Our accommodation was serviced every day and the sheets and towels changed every other day which was more than enough. The bed was very comfortable as were the pillows. The kitchen was well equipped and there were cleaning materials as well as laundry tabs for the washing machine and dishwasher tablets for the dishwasher. Tea, coffee, milk and sugar were provided as well as coffee pods for the coffee machine.|The lobby bar was only small but was very inviting. Junior and Julianna were very welcoming and helpful. We only ate in the lobby bar and found the food very good and reasonably priced. |We did venture out on foot to the supermarket and there is a relatively steep incline as others have said but this does flatten out after a few minutes so we didn't find it too difficult. We also found a few restaurants en route which meant we didn't need to keep going in to town. Ubers into town ranged from about 4 - 7 euros so we were pleased we hadn't hired a car. An uber to the waterpark was 30+ euros each way but still reasonable considering the distance. We ate down at one of the beach restaurants which was OK, it felt like they were rushing around with no need to which spoilt the atmosphere. We did have to book though and the only other beach restaurant, Antonio's, was fully booked for most of the week we were there. Lagos old town is very pretty and was lovely to walk round during the day. It was extremely busy of an evening. Easy to still find somewhere to eat but still very busy.|The main pool did get busy and a little noisy, including a couple who thought it ok to play their own music over the music already coming from the pool bar (which was at a level of background music). Mostly people didn't reserve sunbeds so we were never not able to find one. There are other pools, including an adult only pool, but the views down to the beach from the main pool were the best.|The gym is quite small but perfectly adequate and air conditioned. Our only gripe was with the spa facilities. They were lovely to have, but not all of the hydropool was working, the experience showers only partly worked and the Turkish bath was out of order all week. This area does need a bit of tlc we felt. On the plus side, the changing rooms were lovely and we could change there for our flight home as checkout at 10am was way before our flight time. You are able to continue using all the facilities even after you have checked out, including beach towels. |We found the staff all to be lovely, friendly and helpful when we wanted to ask about trips.|Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Enjoyed our stay here. The only drawback for us was the distance to the old city center, but was close to the beach. We like to walk, but did a lot and didn’t want to add that piece. Two good restaurants at the beach too so that was good. The Belmar was nice, the staff attentive, and the restaurant was perfect for our last night there. Of course, the spa and an adults only pool out of 5 pools. If you go, enjoy yourself!

Highly recommend this beachside resort with excellent pools, fitness center, restaurant and other amenities. The apartment was well stocked and serviced daily. The comfy bar has a great menu. The nearby beach is excellent.

Great resort, close to the beach and a short cab ride to downtown. Nicely equipped gym and spa. Indoor pool facilities are in need of ventilation, the chlorine in the air stings the eyes after a short while. The hotel could also benefit from some clear signage as we were often left guessing which door led where. Our 2 bedroom suite had everything we needed for our stay, was very comfortable, and had amazing views of the pool and ocean.

The location of this hotel is great, and the rooms are spacious and well appointed. Unfortunately both of the bathrooms smelled strongly of mold, and there was quite a bit of dark mold on the grout in the showers. We were excited to have a washing machine for this leg of our trip, but it also smelled strongly of mold. We mentioned these issues to the staff, and were told it would be addressed but it never was.
