Cascade Wellness Resort

We stayed at the hotel as a couple in mid-January 2026. The location is spectacular, perched on a cliff right by Ponta da Piedade, with direct access from the hotel to the scenic coastal path leading toward the lighthouse. Our room was exceptional — very spacious, beautifully furnished, extremely comfortable, and with a stunning sea view. The service was excellent and friendly throughout our stay, including valet parking. Special thanks to Michael at reception for being kind, efficient, and incredibly helpful. Access to Lagos is very quick and easy, making this location both peaceful and convenient. Highly recommended!

The staff at the hotel are wonderful. From checking in, valet, restaurant staff to checking out the staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms are big and nicely appointed. The breakfast is amazing and having dinner at the hotel one night id say one of the best steaks ever! We had an incident one of the 4 nights with a critter and the terrace. The hotel took care of the issue quickly and made it all better. Would we stay again. Absolutely!

Location, location, location. If you don't mind walking 15 minutes or you really want somewhere quiet, this is a fantastic resort. It grew on me while we stayed here, when we first checked in we were a bit worried because there were a few things that needed a little repair, but after staying - the rooms are really nice, cleaned each day, very well appointed. The patio was amazing and we spent time on it drinking wine each day. The location is again and having the back gate out onto the walking path was perfect. We walked East to the lighthouse/grotto for sunsets and we walked West for the less busy beach. Walking into old town Lagos was definitely a longer walk of about 30-40 mins. The staff were all very friendly. And drove ahead of us in a golf cart to check the door keys worked. The biggest question - would we start here again? Absolutely yes! We're looking forward to it.

We were in the Algarve’s for 6 nights and chose Lagos as our home base. The Cascade Wellness Resort and Spa was perfectly located within a few minutes walk from the extraordinary Ponte de Piedad and close to the Lagos City Center and marina. The hotel is very well run, the property well kept and grounds nicely manicured. The pool area was terrific The suites were spacious, clean and well stocked with good towels, bathrobes and top notch L’Occitane Products. The breakfast was fantastic offering a substantial variety of hot, cold and made to order items. The entire experience was terrific… but the most notable thing to mention is the outstanding staff on the resort…all very welcoming, friendly and super helpful. The reception staff were exceptional, one of the best I’ve encountered in my travels. They were professional, attentive, friendly, informative, and always went above and beyond to answer questions prior to and during our stay, make suggestions, help with reservations and ensure that we were enjoying our stay. The resort is perfect for couples of all ages, and families.

I stayed here for a few days in October 2025. As someone who loves high quality service and healthy food, peace and quiet, and beautiful views, this hotel was perfect. It’s the perfect place to unwind and refresh with friends and family or on your own. It’s also kid friendly. My whole experience with the hotel was pleasant. It’s in the perfect location (near hiking/cliffs/beaches), and the sunrises and sunsets are incredible. The hotel staff are attentive and accommodating and make you feel welcome. You’re close to town (a quick Uber drive away), so can easily explore if you want to. This is a truly special hotel. I will always remember my short stay here and hope to return someday.

Upscale resort with good amenities and service. We opted for a suite which was very roomy and comfortable. Beds are good and the bathroom is large, clean and well stocked (towels soaps shampoo etc). Breakfast is plesant, tasty and has good variety. The bar is also nice but the drinks are rather pricey. We found the switches for the lighting rather peculiar. Some would turn on/off multiple lights in different rooms, while others appeared to do nothing 🤔 Service is very good. All the staff are friendly and accomodating. Location is great as you are steps from the ocean and algarve cliffs. You will need a car or other transport to get into town.

We spent an amazing week at Cascade and LOVED it. We had a sea view suite for our family and it was two big rooms and the staff put an extra single bed for our son and a pack n play crib for our baby. It was all set up so perfectly for our family and we loved having the second room and bathroom for a living room and patio view a view for evenings and sunrises (perfect for us parents of little ones). The breakfast was amazing, delicious and had SO MUCH variety. The restaurant and bar upstairs was amazing too. The kids club and pools were also amazing. Everything was amazing! And last but not least, the staff were top tier. They truly care about their guests and want everyone to have a great experience. Every single person we met who works there went over and above to make our time special. We are already planning on coming back. One specific stand out staff member is the young lady with longer blonde hair who greeted us in the mornings at breakfast. I think she’s one of the head team members, and she was so lovely to our family and the way she treats everyone she works with and all the guests was really over and above. I wish I could remember her name! She was truly incredible.

TL;DR: Cascade Wellness is a fantastic family-friendly base in the Algarve with spacious apartments, great amenities, and a unique sandy-beach pool the kids loved. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone wanting comfort and easy access to Lagos. Full Review: We stayed 5 days and couldn’t be happier with the location and setup. Having an apartment instead of a standard hotel room gave our family extra space, a full kitchen, and a washer/dryer—saving money on meals and luggage space. Our boys loved having their own room, and we enjoyed having our own space as well. The resort is very family-friendly, with many young families around, and the staff were friendly and fluent in English. The highlight for our kids was the pool with a sandy beach entry—a clever touch that meant they could play in sand without us having to go to the beach every time. There’s also a well-equipped gym, a games room, and a restaurant on site. Only one drawback: the resort has just one main TV, so sports fans may need to go into town to watch games. The location is excellent for exploring Lagos and the Algarve coast. The old town of Lagos is charming (though parking can be tricky—use the north-side garage), and from here it’s easy to explore other towns. We drove down from Lisbon, but Faro airport is an easy alternative. Overall, Cascade Wellness offered comfort, space, and amenities that made our family trip smooth and memorable

Genuine service, especially at front desk, valet and at the bar. To be fair, I went in the off season. There weren't a lot of guests staying here. Maybe it's different in the summer vs winter? Breakfast was part of the stay package. It wasn't a cheap continental breakfast, they went all out. It was a resort. The price staying here was comparable was to airbnbs in the area. This was so much more worth it. Complimentary drinks at the bar, valet and access to the spa and pools were also included. It was a bit away from town in a residential area, but if you have car it's not a problem whatsoever. If you compare to South American resorts, there's no beach, but there are cliff/ocean views nearby. I was definitely consider coming back here if I'm in Algarve.

What can I say about this magnificent place? It's sitting on the Atlantic ocean, so the views are out of this world. My hubby and I needed a relaxed day, so we decided to head over to Cascade for their resort and wellness spa. It was everything you wanted in a spa, Turkish sauna, couple messages, etc. Even enjoying the view, you can't go wrong. This place is a gem, and I've already had days booked for next year!

This hotel is quite the stunner, and the accommodations offered go above and beyond! When you arrive at Cascade Wellness Resort, you immediately feel as though you made the right decision by staying here because it just feels so welcoming/inviting. The property is very well manicured and the rooms are clean, spacious and sophisticated! I had wonderful nights of sleep here, and while this is partly due to the comfortable beds, it also has to do with going to bed with a full and happy stomach! Yes, I ate several meals at Cascade Wellness Resort and was over the moon thrilled with everything I ate. There isn't one thing I would have changed! Well, no, I probably would have just ordered MORE! To help balance out my feasts, the gym located on the property (opens at 7am), helped me expel any extra energy I had before exploring what the Algarve has to offer! If you come to the Algarve, you absolutely need to consider Cascade Wellness Resort!
