Highgate Independent in Barlavento

"Great staff and property"

"The Cascades Resort was one the best hotels we have ever stayed, and we have stayed in dozens throughout Europe! The room was great, front desk service excellent, restaurant food and service superb!"

"The hotel is at the quieter end of the resort overlooking a beautiful wide sandy beach. We had a large clean bedroom with a big comfy bed and a good sized bathroom with powerful hot shower. Nice side sea view though the balcony is small in comparison to the bedroom but adequate. Tasty breakfast in the dining room overlooking the sea and lots of choice. We would definitely visit again."

"Great hotel, very nice location, with very nice breakfast"

"We enjoyed our stay and would consider returning. Positives: good location, great spacious rooms in the sea view suite, fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shuttle runs to town free of charge. Only negatives are: Not all-inclusive, only small selection of standard drinks and 2/3 cocktails. Paid entry into a small indoor pool, 4 person hot tub and sauna facilities. Gym is tiny but modern, fits about 2/3 people. A little smell in the rooms we believe from drains, although other than that super clean and smells lovely in hallways. Relatively expensive massages for what you get."

"Great location. Wonderful breakfast buffet. "

"We stayed here for 3 nights and it was absolutely beautiful. Great location as a home base to explore the Algarve. Highly recommend the ocean view rooms with balcony. Delicious breakfast and walkable to great restaurants. "

"Such a lovely place and lovelystaff. Our twin toddlers and ourselves had a great time. "

"Very accommodating staff in addition to the tranquility of the resort and beach and walking trails adjacent to the resort. Spa, restaurants, concierge and housekeeping services were excellent!!"
